Condensation of N-methoxy-N-methyl amides with the dianions of acetoacetates gives in good yields β,δ-diketo esters, which are reduced with Et2BOMe–NaBH4 in tetrahydrofuran–methanol highly selectively to give syn-β,δ-dihydroxy esters in one step. Similarly, the β,δ-diketo esters of the Taber’s chiral alcohol or its enantiomer respectively are reduced to give syn-β,δ-dihydroxy esters of moderate enantiomeric excess. Higher diastereo- and enantioselectivity were achieved by reduction of the β,δ-diketo esters of the Taber’s chiral alcohol or its enantiomer successively with diisobutylalane and with Et2BOMe–NaBH4. The resulting syn-diol esters were hydrolyzed and lactonized to give various types of β-hydroxy-δ-lactones commonly found in artificial HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors.
N-甲氧基-N-甲基酰胺与乙酰乙酸酯的二阴离子缩合,高产率地得到了β,δ-二酮酯,这些二酮酯在四氢呋喃-甲醇中与Et2BOMe-NaBH4还原,高度选择性地一步得到syn-β,δ-二羟基酯。类似地,Taber的手性醇或其对映体的β,δ-二酮酯分别还原得到中等对映体纯度的syn-β,δ-二羟基酯。通过先后使用二异丁基铝烷和Et2BOMe-NaBH4还原Taber的手性醇或其对映体的β,δ-二酮酯,获得了更高的非对映选择性和对映选择性。得到的syn-二醇酯经水解和内酯化得到多种常见于人工HMG-CoA还原酶抑制剂中的β-羟基-δ-内酯。
