Preparation of Chiral Bisoxazolines: Observations on the Effect of substituents

A series of enantiomerically pure 4-substituted bisoxazolines 1a-f, 2c, and 2e was prepared from naturally derived or synthetic amino alcohols and malonyl dichloride derivatives.The formation of the bisoxazolines was accomplished in two stages: (1) preparation of the bis-amides of the malonyl derivatives with the amino alcohols and (2) cyclization of the hydroxy amides 4 by either of two general protocols; (1) heating with thionyl chloride in toluene or (2) formation of the bismesylate and then heating with aqueous or alcoholic base.The latter procedure was found to be more reliable especially for bisoxazolines with bulky substitutents at C(4).The C(4) trityl-substituted hydroxy amide 4f produced the bis(acylaziridine) 10 by cyclization on the nitrogen atom using KOH/MeOH, but afforded the desired bisoxazoline 1f by the action of SOCl2/Et3N.The synthesis of the non-naturally derived amino alcohols using the Evans asymmetric azidation procedure is also described.

Preparation method of exo-Dickson anhydride

The preparation method comprises the following steps: (1) adding a solvent in a reaction container, maleic anhydride, a chiral catalyst D and nitrogen to replace air in a reaction container. (2) At -5 - 5 °C, cyclopentadiene is added dropwise, and the dropping is carried out at a certain temperature. (3) After the completion of the reaction, water was added and quenched. Concentration, crystallization in ethanol and filtration gave exo. The preparation method has the characteristics of high reaction stereoselectivity, high yield, good product quality, simple and convenient process operation, high stability and high safety, and is suitable for industrial mass production.

Enantioselective Cyclopropanation of Allylic Alcohols. The Effect of Zinc Iodide

The effect of zinc iodide on the catalytic, enantioselective cyclopropanation of aliylic alcohols is examined with bis(iodomethyl)zinc as the reagent and bis-methanesulfonamide 7 as the catalyst. Significant rate enhancement was observed when 1 equiv of zinc iodide was present, but more importantly, the enantiomeric excess of the product cyclopropane increased from 80% to 89% for the substrate cinnamyl alcohol. Reaction studies and spectroscopic investigations show that this remarkable influence is the result of reagent modification via a Schlenk equilibrium that produces the more reactive and selective species (iodomethyl)zinc iodide.
