Asymmetric Synthesis Using Chiral Acetals: Highly Stereoselective Reduction of Chiral α-Keto-β,γ-unsaturated Acetals and Its Application for the Synthesis of (R)-(-)- and (S)-(+)-3'-Methoxy-4'-O-methyljoubertiamine

Reduction of the chiral α-keto-β,γ-unsaturated acetals (1) derived from (-)-(2S,3S)-1,4-dimethoxy-2,3-butanediol was studied.Extremily high stereoselectivity was attained with LiAlH4 and two epimeric allyl alcohols (2aA-2cA and 2aB-2cB) were prepared selectively by a proper choice of additive.As an application of this methodology, total syntheses of (R)-(-)-3'-methoxy-4'-O-methyljoubertiamine and its enantiomer were achieved from the single chiral enone acetal (3) through a highly stereocontrolled reduction followed by the Claisen-Eschenmoser rearrangement.
