NEW EXPEDIENT ROUTE TO THE STEREOSELECTIVE SYNTHESIS OF FLUORINATED 1,3-DIOL DERIVATIVES VIA ALUMINUM ACETALS DERIVED FROM BETA-ALKOXY ESTERS AND DIBAL
T. Ishihara et al., NEW EXPEDIENT ROUTE TO THE STEREOSELECTIVE SYNTHESIS OF FLUORINATED 1,3-DIOL DERIVATIVES VIA ALUMINUM ACETALS DERIVED FROM BETA-ALKOXY ESTERS AND DIBAL, Tetrahedron letters, 39(26), 1998, pp. 4691-4694
On treating the aluminum acetal intermediates, generated in situ from
ethyl 3-benzyloxy-2,2-difluoroalkanoates or 3-benzyloxy-4,4,4-trifluor
obutanoate and diisobutylaluminum hydride at -78 degrees C for 1 h, wi
th allylic stannanes in the presence of titanium(IV) dichloride diisop
ropoxide at 0 degrees C for 8 h or at -30 degrees C for 6 h, the corre
sponding allylated products, polyfluoro-1,3-diol derivatives, were obt
ained in good yields with high anti stereoselectivity. (C) 1998 Elsevi
