A flexible enantioselectivesynthesis of highly functionalized 5-substituted α,β-unsaturated δ-lactones has been achieved by applying the Sharpless catalytic asymmetric dihydroxylation to vinylfuran as the key step. The resulting diols are produced in high enantio excess and can be stereoselectively transformed into differentially protected δ-lactones through a short reaction sequence.
Several isoxazolidin-5-ones were synthesized in an addition - rearrangement reaction from corresponding sugar lactones and hydroxylamines. The sign of the Cotton effect at ca. 220 nm can be correlated to the absolute configuration of the stereogenic center at C3 and can be predicted by Weigang's sector rule. X-ray diffraction study performed for 11 and 12 confirms the configuration at C3 to be 3S and 3R, respectively. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd

An expeditious approach to various protected hexoses has been developed by the use of the Sharpless catalytic asymmetric dihydroxylation reaction. Applying the Sharpless catalytic asymmetric dihydroxylation reaction on vinylfuran, diols with high enantioexcess are produced. The resulting diols call be stereoselectively transformed into either protected D- or L-mannose in five steps and approximately 39% yield from furfural. Similarly, both D- and L-talose and gulose have been synthesized in 19% overall yields, respectively. Using a modified strategy, both protected D- and L-gulo- and allo-sugar-delta-lactones were synthesized in eight steps and similar to 20% overall yield from furfural. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.

Configurational Assignment of 5-Substituted Pyrazolidin-3-ones Using Circular Dichroism Spectroscopy
The chiroptical properties of the title compounds bearing various substituents at the N(1) and N(2) nitrogen atoms are discussed. It was found that the sign of the n-pi* Cotton effect centered at about the 230-250 nm region can be correlated with the absolute configuration of the stereogenic center at C(5). It was also found that the sign of this Cotton effect is predictable by Weigang's lactam sector rule. MNIX calculations, supported by X-ray measurements, showed that substituents at the nitrogen atoms significantly affect the conformation of the five-membered ring. It was additionally concluded that the conformation of the five-membered ring in 5-substituted pyrazolidin-3-ones is the sign-determining factor for an n-pi* transition.
