A remarkable Lewis acid tuning has been observed in the nucleophilic addition of Grignard reagent to BIGN, the N-benzyl nitrone derived from 1,2-O-isopropylidene-D-glyceraldehyde. The obtained alpha,beta-dialkoxy hydroxylamines can serve as starting points for the synthesis of both aminodiols and alpha-hydroxy-beta-amino acids. This synthetic approach is illustrated by the synthesis of the antipode of the C-13 side chain of Taxotere as well as its C-3 epimer. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
