(4RS,5R)-4-Methoxy-5-methyl-2-oxazolidinone (2ab), easily obtained by electrochemical decarboxylative methoxylation of the cyclic L-threonine derivative (4S,5R)-5-methyl-2-oxzolidinone-4-carboxylic acid (1), acts as effective diastereoselective amidoalkylation reagent. The methoxy group exchange in 2ab can be performed with higher order organocuprates (R(3)Cu(2)Li) in the presence of BF3.OEt(2). The 4-alkyl- or 4-aryl-substituted 2-oxazolidinones 3-6 can be obtained with trans diastereoselectivities between 75 and 98% in S(N)1 fashion via the intermediate N-acylimine. On the contrary, the N-methylated (4RS,5R)-4-methoxy-3,5-dimethyl-2-oxzolidinone (7ab) undergoes methoxy group exchange under identical conditions mainly via the S(N)2 mechanism. Thus, starting from trans-7a mainly cis-8b is formed with 76% ds. The described procedures make cis- or trans-4-alkyl-5-methyl-2-oxazolidinones and the respective dichiral 2-amino alcohols selectively available by a short reaction sequence.
(4RS,5R)-4-甲氧基-5-甲基-2-氧杂环丁酮 (2ab) 可通过电化学脱羧甲氧基化反应方便地由环状 L-苏糖衍生物 (4S,5R)-5-甲基-2-氧杂环丁酮-4-羧酸 (1) 制得,它作为一种高效的非对映选择性胺基烷基化试剂。2ab 中的甲氧基交换反应可以在 BF3.OEt2 的存在下使用更高价态的有机铜试剂 (R(3)Cu(2)Li) 进行。通过 N-酰亚胺中间体,在 S(N)1 机制下,以 75 到 98% 的反式非对映选择性可获得 4-烷基或 4-芳基取代的 2-氧杂环丁酮 3-6。相反,N-甲基化的 (4RS,5R)-4-甲氧基-3,5-二甲基-2-氧杂环丁酮 (7ab) 在相同条件下主要通过 S(N)2 机制进行甲氧基交换。因此,从反式-7a 主要生成顺式-8b,非对映选择性为 76%。所述的程序通过短反应序列,选择性地提供顺式或反式的 4-烷基-5-甲基-2-氧杂环丁酮及其相应的双手性 2-氨基醇。
