A highly diastereoselective and enantioselective method for the multicomponent aziridination of chiral aldehydes has been developed with BOROX catalysts of the VANOL (3,3′-diphenyl-2,2′-bi-1-naphthol) and VAPOL (2,2′-diphenyl-(4-biphenanthrol)) ligands. Very high to perfect catalyst control is observed with most all substrates examined including aldehydes with chiral centers in the α- and β-positions. High catalyst control was also observed for a number of chiral heterocyclic aldehydes allowing for the preparation of epoxy aziridines, bis(aziridines) and ethylene diaziridines. Application of this reaction in the synthesis of β3-homo-d-alloisoleucine and β3-homo-l-isoleucine is reported.

Compounds of formula (I): STR1 (wherein: R0 is hydrogen, methyl or hydroxymethyl; R1 is substituted alkyl; R2 and R3 are each hydrogen, halogen, hydroxy, alkoxy, carboxy, alkoxycarbonyl, alkyl, nitro, haloalkyl, or substituted alkyl; X is oxygen or sulfur; and Ar optionally substituted phenyl or naphthyl); and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof have a variety of valuable pharmaceutical activities, including anti-diabetic and anti-obesity activities; in addition, they are capable of treating or preventing hyperlipemia and hyperglycemia and, by inhibiting the action of aldose reductase, they can also be effective in the treatment and prevention of complications of diabetes.
