A simple method for the oxidation of primary alcohols to aldehydes using o-iodoxybenzoic acid (IBX) with the addition of stoichiometric acetic acid has been developed. Addition of acetic acid significantly accelerated the reaction rate. Under these conditions, primary aliphatic, benzylic, and allylic alcohols are smoothly converted to aldehydes in high yields (90-97%).

(Chemical Equation Presented) Two novel chiral monocyclic iminolactones 14a and 14b have been prepared. The chiral auxiliary 12 was obtained from α-methyl-trans-cinnamaldehyde through reduction, methylation, Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation, and oxidation in 87% overall yield. Esterification of compound 12 with the respective protected amino acids followed by deprotection and cyclization provided the corresponding iminolactones, each in 82% overall yield. Alkylation of the iminolactone 14a afforded the α-methyl-α,α-disubstituted products 15 and 16 in good yields (78-99%) and excellent diastereoselectivity (de >98%). Alkylations of the iminolactone 14b furnished the α-benzyl-α,α-disubstituted products 15a, 16b, 17, and 18 in good yields (51-86%) but moderate diastereoselectivities (43-56%). When HMPA or DMPU was used as a cosolvent, the rate of alkylation of the iminolactone 14b was accelerated with improved yields (56-99%) and diastereoselectivities (50-83%). Hydrolysis of the dialkylated iminolactones yielded the α,α-disubstituted α-amino acids in good yields (80-98%) and high enantiomeric excesses (98-99%) with good recovery of compound 12 (83-92%).
