Abstract

An efficient asymmetric synthesis of β-hydroxy sulfonates is described via stereocontrolled aldol reactions of sulfonates using 1,2:5,6-di-O-isopropylidene-α-d-allofuranose as the chiral auxiliary. The aldol reactions with aromatic aldehydes yielded predominantly syn adducts in very good yields and excellent diastereo- and enantiomeric excesses (de, ee ≥98%).

Key words

asymmetric synthesis - sulfonates - aldol reaction - sugar auxiliary - hydroxy sulfonates

General Procedure for Aldol Reactions of the Sulfonate 1: To a cooled (-78 °C) solution of freshly generated lithium diisopropylamide [prepared by treatment of diisopropyl-amine (1.1 mmol) in anhyd THF (3 mL) with n-BuLi (1 mmol) at -78 °C for 30 min] was added dropwise a solution of the sulfonate 1 (1 mmol) in THF (2 mL) under N₂. After stirring for 1 h, a mixture of aldehyde (2 mmol) and 1 M ZnCl₂ in THF (1.2 mmol) was added dropwise. The reaction mixture was stirred at -78 °C for 1 h and then quenched with sat. NH₄Cl. The mixture was poured into an ice-cooled 1 N HCl solution (10 mL) and extracted with EtOAc. The combined organic layers were washed with H₂O, brine and dried over Na₂SO₄. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure to give the crude product. The diastereomeric ratio was determined at this stage by ¹H NMR (400 MHz). The crude product was purified by flash column chromatography (SiO₂, EtOAc-hexane) to give the aldol product 2.
