Asymmetric synthesis of spirocyclic pyrrolidines and tetrahydrofurans by chiral aldol reactions and phenylthio migration

Highly enantioselective aldol reactions of the boron enolate of (S)-N-propionyl-4-(phenylmethyl)-2-oxazolidinone with α-phenylthio cycloalkanecarbaldehydes were achieved. Cyclisation of the chiral phenylthiosulphonamide and diols gave the title compounds in excellent yields and enantiomeric excess.
Asymmetric aldol reactions of achiral 2-phenylsulfanyl aldehydes with small- and medium-sized carbocyclic rings: the synthesis of homochiral spirocyclic lactones, pyrrolidines and tetrahydrofurans

Chiral boron enolates based on the 1,3-oxazolidin-2-one auxiliary react with achiral 1-phenylsulfanylcycloalkanecarbaldehydes in anti- and syn-selective aldol processes to give the corresponding aldol products with moderate to excellent levels of diastereo- and enantio-control.Stereospecific cyclisation via an asymmetric episulfonium (thiiranium) ion leads to optically pure spirocyclic compounds in high chemical yields.
