Asymmetric dihydroxylation of esters and amides of methacrylic, tiglic, and angelic acid: No exception to the sharpless mnemonic!

Literature findings on the facial selectivity of the Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation (SAD) of isobutyl angelate are contradictory and partly in conflict with the Sharpless mnemonic. We systematically screened the SAD of esters and amides of angelic, tiglic, and methacrylic acid. Enantiocontrol arose in 14 of the 15 reactions, culminating at 99 % ee for the Weinreb amide of tiglic acid. The absolute configurations of all the nonracemic products were established by (stereo)chemical correlations. Without exception, they conform to the Sharpless mnemonic.

Enantioselective synthesis of α-methyl-D-cysteine and lanthionine building blocks via α-methyl-d-serine-β-lactone

(Matrix presented) We report here the enantioselective synthesis of Boc-α-methyl-D-cysteine(PMB)-OH and lanthionine building blocks through the regioselective ring opening of key intermediate Boc-α -methyl-D-serine-β-lactone.

Enantioselective synthesis of (S)- and (R)-α-methylserines: Application to the synthesis of (S)- and (R)-N-Boc-N,O-isopropylidene-α-methylserinals

This report describes the synthesis of enantiomerically pure (S)- and (R)-α-methylserines on a multigram scale, starting from the Weinreb amide of 2-methyl-2-propenoic acid and using a stereodivergent synthetic route that involves a Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation reaction. As a synthetic application of these quaternary α-amino acids, they were used as starting materials in the synthesis of the well-known valuable homochiral (S)- and (R)-N-Boc-N,O-isopropylidene-α-methylserinal building blocks.

An alternative approach to (S)- and (R)-2-methylglycidol O-benzyl ether derivatives

Preparation of 2(R) and 2(S) Methyl-2-Methylglycerates

Optically pure samples of both enantiomers of methyl 2,3-dihydroxy-2-methylpropanoate were prepared by a chromatographic separation of their (-)-menthyl esters followed by hydrolysis and methylation.Their absolute stereochemistries were established by conversion into their 3-O-acetyl derivatives, compounds of established configuration.NMR and GC-MS methods of determining the optical purities of the diols are described.
