Enantio- and diastereoselective synthesis of (protected) 2-formyl- and 2-(hydroxymethyl)-1-phenylalkane-1,3-diols from chiral 2-methoxy-3-tosyl-1,3- oxazolidines by subsequent asymmetric formylation and aldolization

Trimethylsilyl enol ethers are successively converted into chirally protected α-formyl ketones by asymmetric formylation with the 2-methoxy-1,3- oxazolidine 2, transformed into the corresponding, thermodynamically determined (Z)-TMS enol ethers, and then are allowed to condense with aldehydes. All steps proceed with high stereoselectivity. Some synthetic options, arising from the three differentiated oxygen functionalities in the intermediates 8 are illustrated for the title target compounds.
