HIGHLY DIASTEREOSELECTIVE, NUCLEOPHILIC ALKENOYLATION OF ENANTIOPURE ALPHA-OXY-ALKANAL AND ALPHA-AMINO-ALKANAL BY LITHIATED [1-(P-TOLNENESULFONYL)ALK-2-ENYL] CARBAMATES - REVISION OF THE STEREOCHEMISTRY AND APPLICATION TO THE SYNTHESIS OF A DIHYDROXYETHYLENE DIPEPTIDE ISOSTERE

The addition of lithiated [1-(p-toluenesulfonyl)alk-2-enyl] carbamates
to alpha-stereogenic aldehydes proceeds with steric approach control
according to the Felkin-Anh model to produce alpha'-carbamoyloxy-alpha
,beta-enones by carbonyl migration and elimination of p-toluenesulfina
te. Conversion of two enones to 1,3-dioxan-2-one 9 and to bamoyloxy)-3
-hydroxy-2-isopropyl-7-methyloctanoate (16a), respectively, furnished
samples suitable for X-ray crystal structure analyses to confirm the s
tereochemical course of the addition step.
