Isomannide and isosorbide as new chiral auxiliaries for the stereoselective synthesis of tertiary α-hydroxy acids

Isomannide and isosorbide are selectively protected to provide new chiral auxiliaries suitable for the preparation of enantiopure tertiary α-hydroxy acids. Diastereoselective additions of organozinc reagents on the derived phenylglyoxylates afford the desired α-hydroxy acids with 60-99% ee after saponification. Both absolute configurations of the α-hydroxy acids can be accessed, by adapted choice of either the starting diol or the protecting group.

(1R, 2R)-2-nitroxycyclohexan-1-ol: First example of a cyclohexyl based chiral auxiliary with nitroxy function as diastereoface discriminating group

Application of nitroxy substituent as diastereoface discriminating group in a cyclohexyl based chiral auxiliary has been described.Copyright

New cyclohexyl-based chiral auxiliaries: Enantioselective synthesis of α-hydroxy acids

(1R,2R)-2-(4-tert-butylphenoxy) cyclohexan-1-ol (5) and (1R,2R)-2-(4-phenylphenoxy) cyclohexan-1-ol (6) have been used for the first time as chiral auxiliaries. Addition of alkylzinc chlorides to the corresponding glyoxylates 5a, 6a, after hydrolysis, provided (R)-α-hydroxy acids in high optical purities.

trans-2-phenoxycyclohexan-1-ol as new chiral auxiliary: Synthesis of chiral α-hydroxy acids

(1R,2R)-2-phenoxycyclohexan-1-ol is used as a chiral auxiliary for the preparation of α-hydroxy acids in high optical purities.

PLE catalyzed hydrolyses of α-substituted α-hydroxy esters: The influence of the substituents

The enzymatic hydrolyses of a variety of α-substituted mandelic and lactic esters using pig liver esterase (PLE) have been investigated. High to moderate enantioselectivity was found for various α-substituted mandelic esters, whereas PLE showed low to no enantioselectivity for α-substituted lactic esters. We observed that the enantioselectivity of PLE depends strongly on the length and nature of the substituent at the α-position. Some sequences for an active site model of PLE are discussed.

Organozinc compounds (from Grignard reagents and ZnCl2 or ZnBr2 in diethylether or THF) add selectively to the keto group of (-) menthyl phenylglyoxalate, to give α-substituted (-) menthyl mandelates in high yields and in most cases high levels of asymmet

Asymmetric Synthesis Using Chiral Lithium Alkoxytrialkylaluminates: Obtention of (2S)-2-Hydroxy-2-phenyl-4-methylpentanoic Acid with 85percent Optical Purity

The chiral reagent prepared by mixing equimolecular amounts of triisobutylaluminium and lithium alcoholate of (+)-Darvon alcohol reacts readily in hexane solvent with methyl phenylglyoxylate to give the expected α-isobutyl α-hydroxy ester in 95percent chemical yield with no significant reduction byproduct, and best optical yields are achieved at 0 deg C and high dilution (0.04 M) in hexane.Upon saponification of the ester, (2S)-2-hydroxy-2-phenyl-4-methylpropanoic acid is obtained in 85percent enantiomeric excess.Reacting the lithium alkoxytriethylaluminate and lithium alkoxytri-n-butylaluminate with the same α-keto ester provided confirmatory evidence for the influence of dilution on the extent of asymmetric induction.
