CONFIGURATION AND CONFORMATION OF (-)-8-PHENYLMENTHYL 3-AMINO-2-HYDROXY-5-METHYLHEXANOATE

Conformations of 6aI in solution (NMR, IR) and in the solid state (X-ray) are shown to be similar and it appears, from X-ray data, that the usually invoqued ?-? electronic interaction is probably not responsable of the cis conformation.Conformation in sol

Synthesis of (2S,3R)-3-Amino-2-hydroxy-5-methylhexanoic Acid: Bridging Effect of KF

Natural (2S,3R)-3-amino-2-hydroxy-5-methylhexanoic acid is synthesized in 53-55percent yield (referred to (-)-8-phenylmenthol used as chiral auxiliary) by condensation of 1-nitro-3-methylbutane on (-)-8-phenylmenthol glyoxylate hydrate using KF as a mild base.With a large excess of KF in THF it has been possible to increase the diastereoselectivity of the nitro aldol condensation (up to I/II/III/IV = 77/13/10/0).
