Enantioselective Synthesis of the a-Hydroxy-a-methyl-b-hydroxy Units via Asymmetric Aldol Reaction
摘要:
The alpha-hydroxy-alpha-methyl-beta-hydroxy units are enantioselectively prepared by way of asymmetric aldol reactions between both achiral beta,beta-disubstituted silyl enolates and aldehydes. (-)-2-C-Methyl-D-threono-1,4-lactone is conveniently synthesized by using this reaction.
Optically active α-alkoxy-α-methyl-β-hydroxy ester derivatives are prepared startingfrom racemic α-alkoxy propionic acid ester derivatives by way of asymmetric aldol reaction of the corresponding achiral intermediates. (−)-2-C-Methyl-D-threono-1,4-lactone is conveniently synthesized by using this methodology.
