Chiral Lactols, II. Racemate Separation and Enantioselective Acetalisation with the 2,3,3a,4,5,6,7,7a-Octahydro-7,8,8-trimethyl-4,7-methanobenzofuran-2-yl Protective Group

A simple method for the resolution of the chiral alcohols, cyanohydrins, thiols and amines rac-2a - f by the reaction with the chiral protective group 1a ( or 1b, respectively) is described.The diastereomeric derivatives 3a - f and 4a - f are separated by column chromatography or crystallisation.Subsequent methanolysis or hydrolysis, respectively, yields the enantiomers and the recovered protective group.With rac-2a - c preferential acetalisation of the (R)-enantiomers was observed.This phenomenon was investigated by modification of the protective group.Considerations on conformations of 3a point to an important role of the anomeric and exo-anomeric effect in this enantioselective reaction.
