Chloro(cyclopentadienyl)bis(1,2:5,6-di-O-isopropylidene-α-D-glucofuranos-3-O-yl)titanium (1) is used for the transmetallation of Li-enolates obtained from propionyl derivatives.While such Ti-enolates of ketones and hydrazones appear to be unreactive, the

Preformed Li enolates of hindered aryl esters condense with aldehydes to give predominantly threo aldols.The method has been explored with esters 3 (DMP propionate), 4 (BHT propionate), 5 (DBHA propionate).DMP propionate reacts with benzaldehyde and α-unbranched aliphatic aldehydes to give threo:erythro ratios of about 6.5:1.However, with α-branched aliphatic aldehydes, ester 3 gives only threo-aldols.BHT propionate and DBHA propionate give only threo-aldols with all aldehydes studied.The DMP aldols may be converted into β-hydroxy acids by simple hydrolysis with KOH in aqueous methanol.BHT aldols cannot be hydrolyzed without retroaldolization.However, these aldols can be reduced to diastereomerically pure 1,3-diols.The DBHA aldols can converted into β-hydroxy acids by a method involving oxidation with ceric ammonium nitrate (CAN) in aqueous acetonitrile.Threo-selectivity is also seen in the condensations of DMP butyrate (15), DBHA butyrate (16), DMP pentenoate (17), and BHT pentenoate (18).The approach has been utilized in a stereoselective synthesis of racemic methyl corynomycolate.
