Asymmetric synthesis of (S)-5 has been accomplished with an excellent enant
iomeric hydrogenation of racemic 5 using ruthenium-BINAP-diamine-KOH system
, followed by oxidation. Magnesium enolate of (2S)-2-methoxycyclohexanone [
(S)-5] reacts with the 4-acetoxyazetidinone 4 to give the key intermediate
3 viith high yield and diastereoselectivity for the synthesis of sanfetrine
