Treatment of 3-aryl-2-hydroxypropanoic esters 8 with diethylaminosulfur trifluoride (DAST) gives considerable amounts of rearranged 2-aryl-3-fluoropropanoic esters 12 together with the expected products 11. The extent of rearrangement is dependent on solv
Chemocontrolled reduction of aromatic α-ketoesters by NaBH4: Selective synthesis of α-hydroxy esters or 1,2-diols

α-Hydroxyesters 5a-g or diols 6a-g have been obtained in high yields by reduction of aromatic α-ketoesters 4 once or twice respectively by using NaBH4 as the reducer under suitable conditions. The use of a solvent that does not interact with the reagent allowed the double reduction to occur with only a slight excess of borohydride in very mild conditions.

The present invention is concerned with compounds of formula (I) STR1 wherein R, R1 and R2 are independently selected from hydrogen and C1-4 alkyl; R3 and R4 are independently selected from hydrogen, C1-6 alkyl (including cycloalkyl) and aryl (wherein the alkyl or aryl group, which latter includes benzyl, is optionally substituted by one or more atoms or groups independently selected from halogen, C1-4 alkyl and aryl), provided R3 benzyl or substituted benzyl when R4 =H; m is an integer of from 0 to 2; n is an integer of from 0 to 3; (W) is a group of formula (i), (ii), (iii), or (iv) STR2 wherein Y is selected from oxygen, methylene and >N--R5, where R5 is hydrogen, C1-4 alkyl, or benzyl, Z and Z' are independently selected from >C=O, >C=S and methylene, and the chiral center * in formula (i) or (ii) is in its (S) or (R) form or is a mixture thereof in any proportions; X is a group selected from aryl (including heteroaryl) xanthenyl dibenzofuranyl which group is optionally substituted; and salts and solvates thereof, the preparation of these compounds, pharmaceutical formulations containing them and their use in medicine, particularly in the treatment of migraine.
