catalytic asymmetric aldolreaction of pyruvic aldehyde dimethyl acetal and 2-acetylthiazole with sugar aldehydes is demonstrated to be the key step in the synthesis of 3-deoxy-2-ulosonic acids. Efficient and stereoselective pyruvate aldolreactions are catalyzed by metal-based chiral Trost and Shibasaki catalysts. The presented synthetic methodology mimics aldolase-catalyzed reactions by direct activation

The anti-diastereoselective addition (ds 90-92%) of the lithium enolate of 2-acetylthiazole to chiral (poly)alkoxy aldehydes and the stereocontrolled ketone reduction of the resultant aldols using diisobutylaluminum hydride/tetramethylammonium triacetoxyborohydride followed by the aldehyde unmasking from the thiazolering, afford three-carbon higher homologue aldehydes bearing a syn-or anti-1,3-diol unit. The iterative repetition of the sequence provides a route to polyhydroxylated chains having 1,3- and 1,2-diol units. In this methodology 2-acetylthiazole serves as the surrogate of lactaldehyde and its lithium enolate as the equivalent of the α-hydroxypropanal β-anion synthon.

The acetyl group of 2-acetylthiazole (2-ATT) was selectively metalated by treatment with lithium tert-butoxide (the lithium enolate was formed) or triethylamine/zinc chloride/trimethylsilyl chloride (the silyl enol ether was formed). The use of strong bases (LDA, TMP) resulted in substantial deprotonation of the thiazole ring. The lithium enolate of 2-ATT, formed under conditions of kinetic control, reacted with aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes to give the corresponding aldols (beta-hydroxyalkyl 2-thiazolyl ketones) in isolated yields of 51-65%. The reaction of the lithium enolate with chiral compounds, i.e., various alkoxy-substituted aldehydes and one amino aldehyde derivative, occurred with a high degree of anti diastereoselectivity (80-92%), an outcome that was in accord with the Felkin-Ahn model for asymmetric induction. Hemiketalization of the aldols that resulted from the reaction of the enolate with D-glyceraldehyde acetonide and 2-O-benzyl D-erythrose acetonide and subsequent liberation of the formyl group by hydrolytic cleavage of the thiazole ring afforded the corresponding aldosuloses. Oxidation converted these to ulosonic acids. The application of this three-carbon-chain elongation to D-arabinose diacetonide afforded the octulosonic acid KDO in 6.8% overall yield.
