A manganese-catalyzed hydrogenation of esters has been accomplished with TONs up to 1000, using cheap, environmentally benign, potassium carbonate and simple alcohols as activator and solvent, respectively. The weakly basic conditions lead to good functional group tolerance and enable the hydrogenation of enantiomerically enriched α-chiral esters with essentially no loss of stereochemical integrity.

The title compounds were prepared from valine-derived N-acylated oxazolidin-2-ones, 1-3, 7, 9, by highly diastereoselective (≥ 90%) Mannich reaction (→ 4-6; Scheme 1) or aldol addition (→ 8 and 10; Scheme 2) of the corresponding Ti- or B-enolates as the key step. The superiority of the '5,5-diphenyl-4-isopropyl-1,3-oxazolidin-2-one' (DIOZ) was demonstrated, once more, in these reactions and in subsequent transformations leading to various t-Bu-, Boc-, Fmoc-, and Cbz-protected β2-homoamino acid derivatives 11-23 (Schemes 3-6). The use of ω-bromo-acyl-oxazolidinones 1-3 as starting materials turned out to open access to a variety of enantiomerically pure trifunctional and cyclic carboxylic-acid derivatives.
