Compound 2, which is a known intermediate for the total synthesis of hypocholesterolemic agent 1233A 1, has been synthesized in good overall yield through a convergent approach, employing 3-hydroxy-2-methylpropanoate 6 and BHYMA* 5 as chiral building bloc
Chemoenzymatic Preparation of Asymmetrized Tris(hydroxymethyl)methane (THYM*) and of Asymmetrized Bis(hydroxymethyl)acetaldehyde (BHYMA*) as New Highly Versatile Chiral Building Blocks

A series of asymmetrized tris(hydroxymethyl)methanes 2 and bis(hydroxymethyl)acetaldehydes 3 have been prepared in both enantiomeric forms through a chemoenzymatic methodology.The key step is the highly enantioselective PPL-catalyzed monohydrolysis of 2(E)-alkenyl-1,3-diacetoxypropanes 25-27.A careful study on the effect of unsaturations adjacent to the prochiral center in a series of 2-substituted 1,3-diacetoxypropanes has confirmed the suggested beneficial effect of a ? system in that position but has also unveiled an unprecedented dramatic effect of double-bond configuration on enantioselectivity.A new empirical model for the interpretation of these and other results, based both on polarity and steric arguments, is proposed.This study provides a general protocol for the efficient synthesis of asymmetrized 1,3-propanediols bearing in position 2 saturated or unsaturated carbon chains.
Protecting group controlled diastereoselective allylation of asymmetrized bis (hydroxymethyl) acetaldehydes (BHYMA)

MgBr2 catalysed allylation of a series of diprotected asymmetrized bis (Hydroxymethyl) acetaldehydes 2 with allyltributylstannane proceeds with good diastereoselectivity. The stereochemical results are in line with a cyclic chelated transition state, where only one of the two CH2OR appendages, due to the different nature of protecting groups, is capable of coordinating the Lewis acid.
