The N-propionylated pyrrolidine derivative and chiral auxiliary, (S)-(â)-2-(pyrrolidin-2-yl)propan-2-ol, was synthesised and used in stereoselective aldol reactions with benzaldehyde. Differences in stereoselectivity were investigated as a function of temperature, solvent, chelating agent and the amount of the chelating agent used by monitoring the 1H NMR spectra of the aldol adducts that were obtained. Among the additives that were investigated, Cp2ZrCl2 induced higher anti-selectivity, while SnCl2 induced higher syn-selectivity respectively. TMSCl was found to induce high selectivity for one syn- and one anti-diastereomer. Varying the ligand sets on titanium additives was found to induce differences in selectivity, with (i-PrO)3TiCl exhibiting syn-selectivity and Cp2TiCl2 exhibiting anti-selectivity. Differences in reactivity and stereoselectivity were also found to depend upon the amount of Lewis acid that was added. Methods for removal of the auxiliary were also investigated. Acidic hydrolysis was used successfully to obtain the desired 3-hydroxy-2-methyl-3-phenylpropionic acids, but was found to give low yields and resulted in a large amount of epimerisation. Furthermore, the ethyl esters of these hydroxy acids are easy to separate into pure syn- and anti-diastereomers by LC.
合成了N-丙酰化吡咯烷衍生物和手性辅助剂(S)-(β-)-2-(吡咯烷-2-基)丙醇-2,并在与苯甲醛的立体选择性醛醇反应中使用。通过监测获得的醛醇加合物的¹H NMR光谱,研究了立体选择性在温度、溶剂、螯合剂及使用的螯合剂量上的差异。研究的添加剂中,Cp₂ZrCl₂诱导了更高的反式选择性,而SnCl₂则诱导了更高的顺式选择性。发现TMSCl在高选择性上对一个顺式和一个反式二叠体具有影响。改变钛添加剂的配体组合被发现会导致选择性的差异,其中(i-PrO)₃TiCl表现出顺式选择性,而Cp₂TiCl₂则表现出反式选择性。反应性和立体选择性的差异也发现依赖于所添加的路易斯酸的量。还研究了去除辅助剂的方法。酸水解成功用于获得所需的3-羟基-2-甲基-3-苯基丙酸,但发现产率较低,并导致大量的异构化。此外,这些羟基酸的乙基酯可以通过液相色谱轻易分离为纯的顺式和反式二叠体。
