Stereocontrol in the reduction of meso-imides using oxazaborolidine, leading to a facile synthesis of (+)-deoxybiotin
摘要:
Highly enantioselective reduction of meso-imides was conducted using oxazaborolidine derived from L-threonine and borane-THF complex to give lactams in high enantiomeric purity. This methodology was successfully applied to the synthesis of (+)-deoxybiotin in an enantio-controlled manner in good overall yield. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
Oxazaborolidine catalysed enantioselective reduction of cyclic meso-imides
摘要:
Full details of the enantioselective reduction of cyclic meso-imides catalysed by an enantiopure oxazaborolidine derived from (S)-alpha,alpha-diphenylprolinol are reported. Treatment of the imides with borane in the presence of the catalyst led to a mixture of cis- and trans-hydroxylactams and, after subsequent ethanolysis, to the corresponding diastereomerically pure trans-ethoxylactams. The enantiomeric excesses were shown to be 68-94% by HPLC-determination. One example, in which the ethoxylactam was converted into the benzenesulfonyllactam, could be crystallized to >99% enantiomeric purity. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.

A new asymmetric reduction method for meso-imides is reported. Treatment of various imides with a mixture of a chiral oxazaborolidine and BH3 leads to a mixture of cis- and trans-hydroxylactams and, after subsequent ethanolysis, to the corresponding diastereomerically pure trans-ethoxylactams. The enantiomeric excesses were shown to be 75-89% by both chiral HPLC-determinations and conversion of the reduction products into the corresponding, known lactones.
