Experimental Procedure for Aldol Reactions: CF3SO3H (1.2 equiv) was added to BEt3 (1 M in hexanes, 1.2 equiv) at r.t. then warmed to 40 °C for 10 minutes before cooling to 0 °C and subsequent addition via cannula to a solution of N-acyl-oxazolidin-2-one (1 equiv) in CH2Cl2. After 10 minutes, i-Pr2NEt (1.4 equiv) was added and the reaction mixture stirred for a further 20 minutes before cooling to -78 °C and the addition of freshly distilled aldehyde (1.1 equiv). After 30 minutes the reaction mixture was warmed to 0 °C and stirred for a further hour before the addition of MeOH-H2O2 (v/v, 1:1). The reaction mixture was extracted with CH2Cl2, washed with brine, dried and concentrated in vacuo before purification by flash column chromatography.
17Experimental Procedure for DIBALH
Reduction: DIBALH (1 M in hexanes, 2 equiv) was added to a stirred
solution of N-acyl-oxazolidin-2-one (1
equiv) in anhydrous CH2Cl2 at
-78 °C.
After 30 minutes, the reaction mixture was quenched with saturated
aqueous NH4Cl solution and stirred for a further 20 minutes.
The resultant emulsion was filtered through Celite®, dried
and concentrated in vacuo before purification by flash column chromatography.
