A general protocol for the enantioselectivesynthesis of 3-heterosubstituted-2-amino-1-ols was developed based on metal- free intramolecular regio- and stereoselective diene aziridination and regioselective opening. Kinetic resolution of the resulting (1'-NR1 R2 and 1'-SR)-4-oxazolidinones was performed using ABCs organocatalysts, expanding the application of this methodology.
Cross metathesis reaction of short chain Boc sphingosine using Grubbs’ 2nd generation catalyst proceeded in stereoselective manner to afford Boc sphingosine in good yield. An efficient synthesis of sphingomyelin was achieved from the obtained Boc sphingosine using our own phosphorylation reagent.
