ChemInform Abstract: Mono‐ and Dialkylation of Derivatives of (1R,2S)‐2‐Hydroxycyclopentanecarboxylic Acid and ‐cyclohexanecarboxylic Acid via Bicyclic Dioxanones: Selective Generation of Three Contiguous Stereogenic Centers on a Cyclohexane Ring.
Abstract:Dedicated to Dr. Gunther Ohloffon the occasion of his 65th birthday (1 3.111.89) Ethyl (1 R,2S)-2-hydroxycyclopentanecarboxylate and -cyclohexanecarboxylate ( l a and 2a, respectively) obtained in 40 and 70 % yield by reduction of 3-oxocyclopentanecarboxylate and cyclohexanecarboxylate, respectively (Scheme Z), with non-fermenting yeast, are converted to bicyclic dioxanone derivatives 3 and 4 with formaldehyde, isobutyraldehyde, and pivalaldehyde (Scheme 3 ) . The Li-enolates of these dioxanones are alkylat… Show more
