Z. Kaluza et al., ASYMMETRIC INDUCTION IN YLIDENE-5-O-VINYL-D-GLYCOFURANOSES(2]CYCLOADDITION OF CHLOROSULFONYL ISOCYANATE TO 1,2), Tetrahedron : asymmetry, 6(7), 1995, pp. 1719-1730
The asymmetric [2+2]cycloaddition of chlorosulfonyl isocyanate to 1,2-
O-isopropylidene-5-O-vinyl-D-glycofuranoses is presented. The stereose
lectivity strongly depends on substitution and configuration at the C-
3 carbon atom. A small substituent at C-3 or allo configuration of the
sugar promote excellent stereoselectivity, affording (s) configuratio
n at the C-4' carbon atom of the azetidinone ring. Intramolecular cycl
ization in compounds 20, 22-26, and 31 provides the respective clavams
32-38.
