Asymmetric aldol reactions using catalytic d(+)-proline: a new, economic and practical approach to a commonly employed C1–C6 keto-acid synthon of the epothilones
摘要:
A new approach to ketoacid 4, a common C1-C6 fragment used in the total synthesis of epothilones was initiated by direct aldol reaction of acetone with a pivaldehyde-like substance 5, catalyzed with D-proline, leading to a 2,6-diketoalcohol with better than 99% ee. Further intramolecular closure of the diketone 8 followed by oxidation of the silyl protected hydroxycyclohexenone 14 led to the desired product 4. None of the steps have been optimized, yet the overall yield for the four-step process is 31%. The use of commercially available D-proline to construct the chiral center of 4 under very mild reaction conditions provided an economical and practical method for its construction.

A new protectinggroup for alcohols, the p-trimethylsilyl xylyl (TIX) group has been developed. The TIX group is used to protect various alcohols under acidic as well as basic conditions. The protected ethers thus formed had noteworthy chemoselectivity upon deprotection in the presence of other benzyl ethers and commonly used protectinggroups. The stability of the TIX group towards various reagents
