Alkylation and aldol reactions of acyl derivatives of N-1-(1′-naphthyl)ethyl-O-tert-butylhydroxylamine: asymmetric synthesis of α-alkoxy-, α-substituted-β-alkoxy- and α,β-dialkoxyaldehydes
摘要:
Treatment of a range of O-protected glycolate derivatives of the chiral auxiliary N-1-(1'-naphthyl)ethyl-O-tert-butylhydroxylamine with KHMDS in the presence of 18-crown-6 followed by addition of an alkyl halide generates alpha-substituted derivatives with very high levels of diastereoselectivity. Alternatively, reaction of the potassium enolate of a propanoate or O-protected glycolate derivative of N-1-(1'-naphthyl)ethyl-O-tert-butylhydroxylamine with a range of aldehydes gives syn-aldol products with high levels of diastereoselectivity. These adducts may be reductively cleaved with LiAlH(4) to give enantiopure alpha-alkoxy-, alpha-substituted-beta-alkoxy- and alpha,beta-dialkoxyaldehydes in good yield. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd.

Further Improvements of the Synthesis of Alkynes from Aldehydes
A highly convenient way to perform the synthesis of alkynes from aldehydes is reported. The procedure utilizes a new in situ preparation of dimethyldiazomethylphosphonate. As a consequence a commercially available reagentcan now be used, circumventing a disadvantage of earlier protocols. The easy one-pot procedure avoids the use of strong bases, low temperatures and inert gas techniques.
