S. Sano et al., LEWIS-ACID-MEDIATED AND CATIONIC LITHIUM-MEDIATED DIASTEREOSELECTIVE ALDOL-TYPE REACTION-BASED ON A DOUBLE CHIRAL RECOGNITION MANNER FOR THE ASYMMETRIC-SYNTHESIS OF ALPHA-SUBSTITUTED SERINES, Tetrahedron letters, 36(23), 1995, pp. 4101-4104
Diastereoselective aldol-type reaction of ethyl (5R or hoxy-2,5-dihydr
o-5-isopropyl-2-pyrazinecarboxylate (5) with chiral aldehyde 7 was inv
estigated by using Sn(OSO2CF3)(2)-N-ethylpiperizine, MgBr2-Et(3)N, n-b
utyllithium, and lithium diisopropylamide. The mediation mode with Sn(
II) between (5R or 5S)-5 and 7 proved to be quite different from that
with Mg(II). The two aldol products were converted to the correspondin
g gamma-lactonic alpha-substituted serines (2S)- and (2R)-10.
