A TMSOTf-mediated highly diastereoselective synthesis of isoxazolidine bearing three contiguous stereocenters is described. This method utilizes O-propargyl hydroxylamines as a novel building block for the rapid assembly of the isoxazolidines via alkyne−oximium cyclization. The strategy could be used in the synthesis of enantiomerically enriched isoxazolidines. Reductive cleavage of the N−O bond efficiently gives the corresponding 1,3-aminodiols with precise control over all stereocenters formed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
