4-Unsubstituted 2-azetidinones 3a,b, which are useful intermediates for the synthesis of carbapenem abtibiotics, have been enantiospecifically and diastereoselectively prepared starting from asymmetrized bis(hydroxymethyl)acetaldehyde (BHYMA) 4, a new chiral building block obtained through biological methods.The key steps are the highly diastereoselective addition of Me2CuLi to 4 (diast. ratio = 95 : 5), and the regioselective deblocking of tBuMe2Si ether in the presence of a (iPr)3Si ether, by using a novel methodology.

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.
