(Chemical Equation Presented) Hydroxymethyl-substituted tetrahydrofurans were prepared with high diastereoselectivity by reaction of the carbanion derived from 3,4-epoxybutyl phenyl sulfone with aldehydes in the presence of a mixture of lithium and potass
Chiral non-racemic dihydroxysulfones via hydrolytic kinetic resolutions - Synthesis of oxacyclic ring systems using intramolecular acylation strategies

A number of chiral non-racemic 1,2-dihydroxysulfones have been prepared in good yields and high enantiomeric excesses by hydrolytic kinetic resolution of the corresponding epoxysulfones with Jacobsen's (S,S)-salen(Co)III(OAc) catalyst. The intramolecular cyclization reactions of the acyl and ethoxycarbonyl derivatives of these dihydroxysulfones have been exploited to access a variety of functionalized chiral non-racemic cyclic ethers and lactones in good yields.

Reduction of the ketone 1 with Bakers' yeast gives the alcohol (R)-2 with high enantiomeric excess, and this upon subsequent epoxidation and alkylation with Grignard reagents provides the alcohols (S)-4 without racemisation. Tosylation of the alcohols (S)-4 under common conditions yields the tosylates (toluene-p-sulfonates) (S)-5, whilst under Mitsunobu conditions inversion of configuration takes place giving the tosylates (R)-5. Subsequent treatment of the tosylates (S)-5 and (R)-5 with lithium diisopropylamide leads to cyclization affording the enantiomerically pure cyclopropanes (S,S)-6 and (R,R)-6 in high yields, respectively. The diastereoisomeric alcohol (S)-4f, obtained by methylation of the alcohol (S)-4e, can also be converted into the single stereoisomer (R,R)-6f in enantiomerically pure form.
