A novel and highly enantioselective synthesis of hydroxyalkynyl esters and ethers through the asymmetric addition of alkynyl esters or ethers to aldehydes promoted by a cyclopropyl amino alcohol based zinc catalyst has been developed. The method afforded a library of new enantioenriched hydroxyalkynol esters and ethers (up to 93percent yield; 95percent ee), and it was compatible with a broad range of functional groups. Moreover, it could be used in the synthesis of carbon-chain-elongated enantioenriched hydroxyalkynol esters and (2 R,5 R)-musclide-A1, a cardiotonic potentiating principle from musk.

Esters and amides undergo reduction to the corresponding aldehydes using DIBAL-H followed by same pot conversion to terminal alkynes utilizing the Bestmann-Ohira reagent in good to excellent yields. Additionally chiral nonracemic substrates undergo this transformation with complete preservation of stereochemical integrity.
Stereoselective synthesis of musclides A1, A2 and B

An expedient method for the stereoselective preparation of musclide A1, A2 and B, cardiotonic-potentiating principles from musk, has been achieved. The key step is the addition of the O-benzyl ethers of prop-2-yn-1-ol and (R)-but-3-yn-2-ol to aldehydes me
