, p. 8554 - 8559 (2011/12/03)
An efficient four-step synthetic route to the useful chiral building block (2R,3S)-dihydroxybutyric acid acetonide in >95% ee is detailed. The sequence is readily scaled, requires no chromatography, and allows for efficient recycling of p-phenylbenzyl alcohol, an expedient for enantio- and diastereoenrichment by recrystallization.

A comprehensive study of the stereochemical course of baker's yeast mediated reduction of substituted cinnamaldehydes is reported. Hydride addition to the β position of β-methylcinnamaldehydes preferentially afforded isomers of (3S)-3-phenylbutan-1-ol. The reduction of (E)-2,3-dimethyl- cinnamaldehyde (15) produced a mixture of (2S,3S)- and (2R,3S)-2-methyl-3- phenylbutan-1-ol (13 and 14), respectively, with 93 % ee. Conversely (Z)-2,3-dimethylcinnamal-dehyde (16) afforded, a mixture of 13 and 14 with 33 % ee. Accordingly, the reduction of trisubstituted β-methylcinnam-aldehydes 34 and 35 proceeded with the same stereochemical preference and with higher enantioselectivity to give (S) 3-phenylbutan-1-ol (37). In addition, deuterium, incorporation and 2H NMR studies demonstrated that the addition of the second hydrogen atom to the a position proceeded with very low stereochemical control and the overall process is formally a mixture of cis/trans hydrogen addition to the double bond. Alternatively, α-methylcinnamaldehyde is reduced to (S)-2-methyl-3-phenylpropan-1-ol (24) with preferential addition of the hydride to the opposite β face with good stereochemical control of the irons addition of hydrogen to the double bond.

, p. 241 - 244 (2007/10/02)
The synthesis of (-)-frontalin (13) from the (2S,3R)-diol (2b), through the intermediacy of the C5 (3S,4S) methyl ketone (6) and of the C11 adduct (8), is reported.

, p. 4369 - 4370 (2007/10/02)
The absolute configuration of the diol moiety in the side chain of pumiliotoxin B has been established by comparison of the ozonolysis product from pumiliotoxin B diacetate with the synthetic 3,4-diacetoxy-2-pentanone derived from L-(+)-tartaric acid.This indicates the absolute configuration (R,R) of C-15, C-16 diol of pumiliotoxin B.
SYNTHESIS OF THE N-BENZOYL DERIVATIVES OF L-ARABINO,L-XYLO AND L-LYXO (L-VANCOSAMINE) ISOMERS OF 2,3,6-TRIDEOXY-3-C-METHYL-3-AMINOHEXOSE FROM A NON-CARBOHYDRATE PRECURSOR

, p. 5073 - 5076 (2007/10/02)
The synthesis of the N-benzoyl derivatives of L-arabino (10),L-xylo (13) and L-lyxo (L-vancosamine) (12) 2,3,6-trideoxy-3-C-methyl-3-aminohexose from the (2S,3R) diol (1) prepared in fermenting bakers' yeast from α-methylcinnamaldehyde and acetaldehyde is reported.
