The stereoselective synthesis of oxetanes; exploration of a new, Mitsunobu-style procedure for the cyclisation of 1,3-diols

A solution of 2-methyl-3-[1-(phenylsulfanyl)cyclohexyl]propane-1,3-diol 1 in toluene treated with triphenyl-phosphine, Ziram 2 and DEAD, gave 3-methyl-2-[1-(phenylsulfanyl)cyclohexyl]oxetane 3 in 85% yield. A mechanistic study has been undertaken, optimal conditions have been found and the range of substrates for which the reaction is useful has been explored. We include the results of an X-ray study which shows that compound 33 (the oxidation product of diol 1) is a sulfone rather than a sulfoxide as previously reported.

Transformation of Cyclic α-Phenylthio Aldehydes by Stereoselective Aldol Reactions and Phenylthio Migration into Spirocyclic Lactones and Ethers, and E-Allylic Alcohols with 1,4-Related Chiral Centres

syn- and anti-Selective aldol reactions between enolates of propionate esters and three α-phenylthio cycloalkanecarbaldehydes give single diastereoisomers of phenylthio alcohols which rearrange in acid with 5-hydroxy or 5-CO2H participation to give spiroc
