(Chemical Equation Presented) A series of chiral vanadyl(V) methoxides bearing 3-t-butyl-5-substituted N-salicylene-L-valinate and L-t-leucinate as chiral auxiliaries has been prepared. In all cases except the 3,5-di-t-butyl analogue, they exist as monomers both in solution and in the single crystal state. In the case of the 3,5-di-t-butyl analogue, the architectural nature of the vanadyl(V) complex highly depends on the base used during the complex formation event. A pentanuclear C4-symmetric complex was formed when potassium salts were employed instead of the corresponding sodium salts. A central vanadate(V) unit serves to grip four identical chiral monomelic vanadyl(V) units together, by which a potassium ion sits on top of the four flanking units through carbonyl coordinations and serves to hold the whole cluster by cooperation with the central vanadate(V) unit. In comparison with the corresponding monomelic vanadyl(V) methoxide complex, the cluster complex was utilized to facilitate the asymmetric aerobic oxidations of various racemic α-hydroxyesters, -amides, and -thioesters with excellent selectivity factors (krel 40 to >500).

The reaction of (R,R)-(+)-1,3-dithiane-1,3-dioxide with aldehydes has been carried out and the dithiane dioxide moiety elaborated further. (R,R)-(+)-1,3-Dithiane-1,3-dioxide gave highly diastereoselective addition products with benzaldehyde and 3,4- dimethoxybenzaldehyde and single diastereomers were isolated in 84 and 76% purified yields respectively. Under similar conditions cyclohexane carboxaldehyde gave an easily separable mixture of diastereomers in 86% total isolated yield. The adducts were transformed into protected S- ethyl α-hydroxythioesters in 95-100% ee via a Pummerer reaction and subsequent trans-thioesterification protocol using LiSEt. Using LiSEt little racemisation occurred even with aryl substituted thioesters. Further transformations of thioesters to various α-hydroxy carboxylic acid derivatives (acids, esters, amides) without racemisation have been achieved. The approach resulted in the synthesis of the dimethyl ether of (R)-(-)-3,4-dihydroxymandelic acid in its naturally occurring form. Addition of dibutyl cuprate (derived from BuMgBr and Cu(I)Br) to the thioester gave the corresponding ketone in high yield and again without racemisation.

trans-1,3-Dithiane-1,3-dioxide reacts with high diastereoselectivity with aromatic aldehydes and the 1,3-dithiane-1,3-dioxide moiety can be easily converted to a thiolester without racemisation by carrying out a Pummerer reaction; the thiolester is a group that can be readily transformed into acids, esters, amides, ketones and aldehydes.
