Diastereoselective synthesis of protected syn 1,3-diols by base-catalyzed intramolecular conjugate addition of hemiacetal-derived alkoxide nucleophiles
摘要:
Reaction of the illustrated unsaturated hydroxy esters (X = OMe, R2 = H, Me) and amides (X = N(Me)OMe, R2 = H, Me) with benzaldehyde and potassium alkoxide or amide bases is reported. The resulting benzylidene acetals are obtained in good yields (71-84%) and with high selectivity (>90: 10). In addition to an exploration of the scope of the reaction, a mechanistic study, involving the use of deuterated benzaldehyde to ascertain the rate-determining step of the process, is described.

A highly diastereoselectivesynthesis of trifluoromethylated 1,3-dioxanes is described. The reaction proceeds by an addition/oxa-Michael sequence and works efficiently under mild reaction conditions, with a good substrate scope and acceptable to good yields.
