Synthesis of (−)-5-amino-2(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-4-phenyl-1,3-dithiane
摘要:
The key intermediate of the synthesis, the (1R,2S)-1-phenyl-2-phthalimido-1,3-propanedithiol (5) was prepared from the corresponding (1S,2S)-diol 1 in a six-step procedure. The absolute configuration of 5 followed from that of 4, which was established by X-ray crystallographic study. In reaction with veratraldehyde dithiol 5 was converted into 1,3-dithiane 6, isolated as a single isomer. The stereochemistry of the dithiane 6 was deduced from NMR spectral data analysis and MM calculations. Hydrazinolysis of 6 resulted in the title dithiane 7. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
Homochiral (2S,3S)-3-amino-2-phenylthietane (6) was synthesized by the action of potassium O-ethyldithiocarbonate on 1,3-ditosylate (3) or 1,3-diiodide (7) derived from (1S,2S)-2-amino-1-phenyl-1,3-propanediol(1).
