The addition of various dialkyl phosphite derivatives to (S)-N,N-dibenzylphenylglycinal 6 led to the preponderance of anti over syn diastereoisomers: from 75:25 when NEt3 or Ti(OiPr)(4) were used to 51:49 for Li or Mg salts. In the NEt3-catalysed reaction, partially racemised phosphonates were formed, while enantiomeric products were obtained after addition of lithium O,O-dimethylphosphonate to (S)-6 at -70degreesC. Because the syn-isomers were found to be resistant to O-benzoylation, Mixtures of diastereoisomers were easily separated after esterification of the anti products. Hydrogenation of the syn-phosphonates in the presence of Boc(2)O gave enantiomeric dialkyl N-Boc-2-amino-1-hydroxy-2-phenylethylphosphonates-phosphonate analogues of the docetaxel C-13 side chain.
