An efficient Amano PS-catalyzed chemo-, regio- and enantioselective hydrolysis of (±)-2,3-di-O-acetyl-2-C-methyl-d-erythrono-1,4-lactone: a facile preparation of bioactive natural products (−)-saccharinic acid lactone and potassium (2R,3R)-2,3,4-trihydroxy-2-methylbutanoate
摘要:
Saccharinic acid lactone (-)-1a is a suitable building block for the synthesis of many bioactive natural products. Amano PS-induced chemo-, regio- and enantioselective hydrolysis of diacetyl lactone (+/-)-3 has been carried out to obtain (-)-1a in 46% yield with 99% ee and diacetyl lactone (+)-3 in 49% yield with 99% ee. The Amano PS-catalyzed enantioselective acylation of (+/-)-1a with vinyl acetate as an acyl donor was relatively less efficient and furnished (-)-7 in 31% yield with 99% ee and (+)-1a in 63% yield. The conversion of (-)-1a to leaf-closing substance 2a and an attempted approach to naturally occurring compounds 1b and 2b have been also described. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
