Asymmetric synthesis of 2-amino-1,3-diols and D-erythro-sphinganine

The asymmetric synthesis of protected 2-amino-1,3-diols (S,R)-5 starting from 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxan-5-one is described. The stereogenic centres are generated by α-alkylation using the SAMP/RAMP hydrazone methodology and diastereoselective reduction of t

Asymmetric synthesis of (S,S)- and (R,R)-2-methylthreitol

The asymmetric synthesis of (S,S)- and (R,R)-2-methylthreitol was carried out, starting from the SAMP or RAMP hydrazone of 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxan-5-one. The protocol involves an enantioselective α-alkylation as a key step. The second stereogenic center was installed by either nucleophilic 1,2-addition or diastereoselective epoxidation with bis(acetylacetonato)oxovanadium(IV) [VO(acac)2] as catalyst. The title compounds were obtained in excellent diastereo- and enantiomeric excesses (≥98% de, 98% ee) and in good overall yields (40-61%). Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart.

Preparation and reactions of 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxan-5-one-SAMP-hydrazone: A versatile chiral dihydroxyacetone equivalent

The SAMP-hydrazone of 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxan-5-one represents a valuable chiral dihydroxyacetone equivalent. Asymmetric mono- or α,α′-bisalkylations followed by auxiliary cleavage leads to the corresponding mono- or α,α′-disubstituted, acetonide protected ketodiols in excellent diastereo- and enantiomeric excesses.

Copper(II) chloride mediated racemization-free hydrolysis of α- alkylated ketone SAMP-hydrazones

Treatment of ketone SAMP-hydrazones 1a-k with an aqueous copper(II) chloride solution yields the corresponding ketones 2a-k in 52-94% yield and with high enantiomeric purities (ee = 89-99%). The cleavage conditions do not affect functionalities sensitive to oxidation and strong acids. The alkylation/cleavage protocol can be carried out in 'one-pot'.
