THE ENANTIOSELECTIVE SYNTHESIS OF ANTI-BETA-HYDROXY-ALPHA-AMINO ACIDSVIA THE REACTION OF LITHIUM ENOLATES OF GLYCINE BEARING AN OXAZOLIDINE CHIRAL AUXILIARY WITH ALDEHYDES
Ej. Iwanowicz et al., THE ENANTIOSELECTIVE SYNTHESIS OF ANTI-BETA-HYDROXY-ALPHA-AMINO ACIDSVIA THE REACTION OF LITHIUM ENOLATES OF GLYCINE BEARING AN OXAZOLIDINE CHIRAL AUXILIARY WITH ALDEHYDES, Synlett, (6), 1998, pp. 664
A new anti-selective aldol reaction utilizing 2,4-disubstituted oxazol
idine functionalized-glycine ester 1 is described. The corresponding l
ithium enolate of 1, has been demonstrated to undergo a highly anti-di
astereoselective aldol reation with a variety of aldehydes. Facile rem
oval of the chiral auxiliary allows for the efficient preparation of c
hiral beta-hydroxy-alpha-amino acids of erythro stereochemistry.
