A new synthetic method for chiral oxazolidinone derivatives, therapeutic agents for treating urinary disturbance, is described. The condensed compound obtained from chiral 1-amino-3-phenyl-2-propanol and 1-phenyl-3-morpholino-1-propanone was reduced with Me4NBH(OAc)3 to give the intermediate, 1-(3-morpholino-1-phenylpropyl)amino-3-phenyl-2-propanol (MAPP) in 34% diastereomeric excess (d.e.). MA...

Chiral C(2)-symmetric 3,4-bis-silyl-substituted adipic acid derivatives have been synthesised by a Mg/trimethylsilyl chloride-mediated intramolecular reductive coupling of symmetrical disiloxanes of beta-silylacrylic acid N-oxazolidinone derivatives. Efficient and short syntheses of enantiomerically pure enantiomers of 2,6-dioxabicyclo[3.3.0]octane-3,7-dione have been achieved from the bis-sily...

The stereocontrolled synthesis of trans-disubstituted cyclopropylketones has been achieved from beta-alkyl, gamma-benzoyl phosphine oxides via a three-step cascade reaction incorporating an acyl transfer, phosphinoyl transfer and cyclisation to form the cyclopropane. Using Evans' chiral oxazolidinone auxiliary and by masking the phosphine oxide moiety as a phosphine borane we have extended the ...

The absolute structure of the chiral asymmetric indole precursor title compound, C11H13NO3S, was confirmed by refinement of the Flack and Hooft parameters and is that expected based on the starting materials for the synthesis. The phenyl group subtends a dihedral angle of 56.40 (5)° with the mean plane of the oxazolidinone ring, which adopts an envelope conformation, with the C atom bearing the...

The formal synthesis of (+)-3-epi-eupomatilone-6 () and the 3,5-bis-epimer () has been accomplished. The key synthetic strategy involved the stereoselective construction of (3R,4S,5R)- and (3R,4S,5S)-trisubstituted γ-butyrolactones and from (2R,3R)-2,3-dimethyl-4-pentenoic acid derivative , which was readily obtained via stereoselective conjugate addition of vinylmagnesium chloride to a chiral ...

The incorporation of a gem-dimethyl group at the 5-position of a chiral oxazolidinone biases the conformation of the adjacent C(4)-stereodirecting group such that the gem-dimethyl-4-iso-propyl combination mimics a C(4)-tert-butyl group, providing higher levels of stereocontrol than a simple 4-iso-propyloxazolidinone. The generality of this principle is demonstrated with applications in stereose...

An asymmetric synthesis of 14-methyl-1-octadecene, the sex pheromone of the peach leafminer moth has been achieved. The target molecule was synthesized in six linear steps and in 30.3% overall yield from commercially available hexanoyl chloride, (S)-4-benzyloxazolidin-2-one and 1,9-nonanediol. The hexanoyl chloride was connected with (S)-4-benzyloxazolidin-2-one, and with the induction of the c...

A microwave assisted method for the synthesis of some typical 4-substituted oxazolidinone chiral auxiliaries used in asymmetric synthesis is reported in this work. Under these conditions, treatment of (S)-phenylalaninol, (S)-phenylglycinol, (S)-valinol and (1S, 2R)-norephedrine with ethyl carbonate or carbon disulfide under the appropriate and specific microwave reaction conditions, led to an e...

The stereochemical course of the oxidation of chiral oxazolidinone-substituted enecarbamates has been studied for singlet oxygen ((1)O(2)), dimethyldioxirane (DMD), and m-chloroperbenzoic acid (mCPBA) by examining of the special structural and stereoelectronic features of the enecarbamates. Valuable mechanistic insight into these selective oxidations is gained. Whereas the R(1) substituent on t...
