A new, stereocontrolled rearrangement of epoxy silyl ethers leading to β-siloxy aldehydes has been effected with stoichiometric use of exceptionally bulky, oxygenophilic methylaluminum bis(4-bromo-2,6-di-trert-butylphenoxide) (MABR) under mild conditions. Used in combination with the Sharpless asymmetric epoxidation of allylic alcohols, this rearrangement represents a new approach to the synthesis of various optically active β-hydroxy aldehydes, useful intermediates in natural product synthesis. The modified organoaluminum reagent, MABR is also applicable to the transformation of a variety of simple epoxides to carbonyl compounds with high efficiency and selectivity. Further, the catalytic version for the rearrangement of epoxy silyl ethers as well as simple epoxides has been newly devised. The scope and limitation of this catalytic method has been clarified with various epoxy substrates.

A diastereospecific chain elongation of the aldehydes 1 to anti-αalkyl-β-hydroxy esters 2 via the intermediates 4 - 7 is described.By means of the Sharpless epoxidation, 2 may be obtained with >90percent ee in either enantiomer.
Stereochemistry of the Addition of Carboxylic Acid Dianions to Aldehydes under Kinetic and Thermodynamic Control - Synthesis and Configurational Assignment of 2,3-Disubstituted threo- and erythro-3-Hydroxycarboxylic Acids

Under kinetically controlled conditions (-50 deg C, 10 min) the carboxylic dianions 2 add to aldehydes 3 to give the threo/erythro-adducts 4/5 (Scheme 1); the threo-selectivity markedly increases with the bulkiness of the substituents of 2 or 3 and decreases with the charge/radius ratio of the counter-ions of 2.From these results a syn-transition state with a HOMO-LUMO ineraction between 2 and 3 is derived (Scheme 3).For appropriate substituents a far higher threo-selectivity is observed under thermodynamically (22-50 deg C, 1-3 days) than under kinetically controlled conditions.We describe the isolation of the hydroxy acids 6 and 7, which are formed from 4 and 5 on acidic hydrolysis, and show how their configurations can be unambiguously assigned on the basis of 1H-NMR data.
