Stereoselective titanium-mediated aldol reactions of (S)-2-tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy-3-pentanone

Titanium-mediated aldol reactions based on (S)-2-tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy-3-pentanone, a lactate-derived chiral ketone, provide the corresponding 2,4-syn-4,5-syn adducts in high yields and diastereomeric ratios with a wide array of achiral and chiral aldehydes. Furthermore, spectroscopic studies of intermediates involved in the process have permitted to propose a mechanism that accounts for the experimental results.

Synthesis of a new fluorinated oxazolidinone and its reactivity as a chiral auxiliary in Aldol reactions

A new enantiomerically pure fluorinated oxazolidinone has been prepared from a fluorinated imidoyl chloride and an optically pure sulfoxide. The diastereoselective reduction of the β-iminosulfoxide thus formed followed by elimination of the sulfoxide and

Asymmetric aldol reactions using (S,S)-(+)-pseudoephedrine-based amides: Stereoselective synthesis of α-methyl-β-hydroxy acids, esters, ketones, and 1,3-syn and 1,3-anti diols

A very efficient method for performing stereoselective aldol reactions is reported. The reaction of (S,S)-(+)-pseudoephedrine-derived propionamide enolates with several aldehydes yielded exclusively one of the four possible diastereomers in good yields, although transmetalation of the firstly generated lithium enolate with a zirconium(II) salt, prior to the addition of the aldehyde, is necessary in order to achieve high syn selectivity. The so-formed syn-α-methyl-β-hydroxy amides were transformed into other valuable chiral nonracemic synthons such as α-methyl-β-hydroxyacids, esters, and ketones. Finally, a stereocontrolled reduction procedure starting from the so-obtained α-methyl-β-hydroxy ketones has been developed allowing the synthesis of either 1,3-syn- or 1,3-anti-α-methyl-1,3-diols in almost enantiopure form by choosing the appropriate reaction conditions.
