The highly diastereoselective chain extension of (R)- or (S)-(R,R*)-1
,2-dicyclohexylethane-1,2-diol ('DICHED') boronic esters has been appl
ied to enantiomerically pure DICHED [(trityloxy)methyl]boronate to pro
vide possible precursors of kainic acid. A five carbon chain has been
assembled having the two critical stereogenic centers in the correct a
bsolute configurations, with the third stereogenic center in a single
absolute configuration potentially convertible to the correct amino ac
id diastereomer. However, peroxidic deboronation of the potential sec-
kainic acid precursor took an unexpected course. (C) 1997 Published by
