- Nucleophilic additions of Grignard reagents to N-benzyl-2,3-O- isopropylidene-D-glyceraldehyde nitrone (BIGN). Synthesis of (2S,3R) and (2S,3S)-3-phenylisoserine
-
A remarkable Lewis acid tuning has been observed in the nucleophilic addition of Grignard reagent to BIGN, the N-benzyl nitrone derived from 1,2- O-isopropylidene-D-glyceraldehyde. The obtained α,β-dialkoxy hydroxylamines can serve as starting points for the synthesis of both aminodiols and α- hydroxy-β-amino acids. This synthetic approach is illustrated by the synthesis of the antipode of the C-13 side chain of Taxotere as well as its C-3 epimer.

- Stereocontrolled addition of Grignard reagents to α-alkoxy nitrones. Synthesis of syn and anti 3-amino-1,2-diols
-
The stereoselective addition of Grignard reagents to α-alkoxy nitrones has been achieved with excellent stereocontrol using ZnBr2 and Et2AlCl as precomplexing agents to obtain the corresponding syn- and anti- adducts, respectively. The obtained hydroxylamines have been transformed into valuable 3-amino-1,2-diols.
