Asymmetric synthesis of (S)-(+)-carnitine and analogs

A general asymmetric route to enantiomerically pure (S)-(+)-carnitine and analogs has been investigated that involves mono-addition of organometallic reagents to the lactone carbonyl group of (5R,6S)-4-(benzyloxycarbonyl)-5,6-diphenyl-2,3,5,6-tetrahydro-4H-1,4-oxazin- 2-one and Lewis acid promoted stereoselective allylation of the resulting hemiacetals. The diastereomerically pure allyl oxazines thus obtained were readily converted into enantiomerically pure (S)-(+)-carnitine and two substituted analogs.
General asymmetric synthesis of hydroxymethylene and hydroxyethylene peptide isosteres

The Lewis acid-promoted coupling reactions of (5R, 6S)-2-acetoxy-4- (benzyloxycarbonyl)-5,6-diphenyl-2,3,5,6-tetrahydro-4H-1,4-oxazines (11a-e, and 21), which are prepared easily from (+)-(5R, 6S)-4(benzyloxycarbonyl)- 5,6-diphenyl-2,3,5,6-tetrahydro-4H-1,4-oxazin-2-one (9), with allyltrimethylsilane proceeded to give the corresponding coupling products with moderate to excellent stereoselectivity in good yields. These coupling products (13a, b, and d) were converted to hydroxymethylene-(25a, b, and d) and hydroxyethylene (28) peptide isosteres.
