Azaenolates of 2-Chloromethyl-4-methoxymethyl-5-phenyl-2-oxazoline − A Highly Diastereo- and Enantioselective Synthesis of Oxazolinyloxiranes
摘要:
The oxazoline-derived titanium azaenolate 6 couples highly stereoselectively with aldehydes affording highly optically pure oxazolinyloxiranes 7. The epoxide 7a has been deblocked to form the optically pure formyl oxirane 9. In contrast, the corresponding boron azaenolates 2 and 3 couple with very poor or no stereoselectivity. Lithium, aluminum and tin azaenolates have also been shortly studied.
On the coupling reaction of lithium azaenolates of chiral oxazolines with carbonyl compounds
摘要:
Optically pure chloromethyloxazolines have been prepared, lithiated and then reacted with benzophenone to famish stereoselectively oxazolinyl oxiranes and formyl oxiranes. The stereoselection observed has been related to the geometry of the intermediate lithium azaenolates. Calculations have been carried out in order to evaluate the relative stability of the E and Z forms of the lithium azaenolates. The reaction of a lithium azaenolate with other ketones leading to oxazolinyl epoxides is also reported. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
