ERYTHRO SELECTIVE CROSS ALDOL REACTION VIA α-SILYL TRIMETHYLSILYL ESTERS.

Various fluoride ion mediated reactions of aliphatic α-silyl trimethylsilyl esters 1 with benzaldehyde have been investigated.Moderate erythro stereoselectivity is observed.

Stereochemistry of the Addition of Carboxylic Acid Dianions to Aldehydes under Kinetic and Thermodynamic Control - Synthesis and Configurational Assignment of 2,3-Disubstituted threo- and erythro-3-Hydroxycarboxylic Acids

Under kinetically controlled conditions (-50 deg C, 10 min) the carboxylic dianions 2 add to aldehydes 3 to give the threo/erythro-adducts 4/5 (Scheme 1); the threo-selectivity markedly increases with the bulkiness of the substituents of 2 or 3 and decreases with the charge/radius ratio of the counter-ions of 2.From these results a syn-transition state with a HOMO-LUMO ineraction between 2 and 3 is derived (Scheme 3).For appropriate substituents a far higher threo-selectivity is observed under thermodynamically (22-50 deg C, 1-3 days) than under kinetically controlled conditions.We describe the isolation of the hydroxy acids 6 and 7, which are formed from 4 and 5 on acidic hydrolysis, and show how their configurations can be unambiguously assigned on the basis of 1H-NMR data.
