Enantioselective synthesis of allylic alcohols via an oxazaborolidinium ion catalyzed diels-alder/retro-diels-alder sequence
Jones, Simon,Valette, Damien
supporting information; experimental part, p. 5358 - 5361 (2010/01/19)
A triflimide-activated oxazaborolidine catalyst successfully promoted the asymmetric Diels-Alder reaction of 9-methylanthracene with methacrolein in high regio- and enantioselectivity. The cycloadduct obtained was subsequently used as a chiral template to
An amino alcohol ligand for highly enantioselective addition of organozinc reagents to aldehydes: Serendipity rules
Nugent, William A.
, p. 2133 - 2136 (2007/10/03)
(matrix presented) Amino alcohol 4 (or its enantiomer) is prepared in two simple steps. Commercial (1R,2S)-2-amino-1,2-diphenylethanol is dialkylated with bis(2-bromoethyl) ether. Subsequent hydrogenation over 5% Rh on alumina in the presence of morpholine unexpectedly stops at the hexahydro derivative 4. Amino alcohol 4 promotes the enantioselective addition of diethylzinc to aldehydes at room temperature in up to 99% enantiomeric excess.
Formal total synthesis of (+)-methynolide
Cossy, Janine,Bauer, David,Bellosta, Véronique
, p. 5909 - 5922 (2007/10/03)
A formal total synthesis of (+)-methynolide was achieved in 23 steps highlighted by a crotylboration, a ring-closing metathesis, a Sharpless kinetic resolution of an allylic alcohol and a Takai reaction.
