ChemInform Abstract: Aldol Reactions with Erythrulose Derivatives: Stereoselective Synthesis of Differentially Protected syn-α,β-Dihydroxy Esters.
2010
Boron enolates of 1-O-silylated erythrulose 3,4-acetonides prepared with Brown's chloro-dicyclohexylborane/tertiary amine system have been shown to react with achiral aldehydes in a highly stereoselective way to yield a 1,2-syn/1,3-syn stereoisomer. Through oxidative cleavage of the aldol adducts with periodic acid hydrate, enantiopure syn-α,β-dihydroxy esters with either hydroxyl group differently protected have been prepared. These erythrulose derivatives therefore behave as a chiral hydroxy acetate (glycolate) enolate equivalent.

Straightforward preparation of highly loaded MWCNT-polyamine hybrids and their application in catalysis
2020
Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were easily and efficiently functionalised with highly cross-linked polyamines. The radical polymerisation of two bis-vinylimidazolium salts in the presence of pristine MWCNTs and azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) as a radical initiator led to the formation of materials with a high functionalisation degree. The subsequent treatment with sodium borohydride gave rise to the reduction of imidazolium moieties with the concomitant formation of secondary and tertiary amino groups. The obtained materials were characterised by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), elemental analysis, solid state 13C-NMR, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), transmission ele…
Supported ionic liquid asymmetric cathalysis. A new method for chiral catalyst recycling
2004
A new method for chiral catalysts recycling, based on the supported ionic liquid asymmetric catalysis concept, has been developed. This concept involves the treatment of a monolayer of covalently attached ionic liquid on the surface of silica gel with additional ionic liquid. These layers serve as the reaction phase in which the homogeneous chiral catalyst is dissolved. As first application of this concept the L-proline-catalyzed aldol reaction has been carried out. Good yields and ee values, comparable with those obtained under homogeneous conditions have been obtained. Moreover, this material shows high regenerability.
Hydrophobically Directed Aldol Reactions: Polystyrene-SupportedL-Proline as a Recyclable Catalyst for Direct Asymmetric Aldol Reactions in the Presen…
2007
The cover picture shows the aldol reaction between ketones and arylaldehydes carried out by using a polystyrene-supported L-proline catalyst. This material furnishes aldol products in high yields and stereoselectivities. Screening of solvents showed that these reactions take place only in the presence of water. This solvent effect, coupled with the high stereoselectivities observed, has been explained by the formation of a hydrophobic core in the inner surface of the resin with the hydrophilic proline moiety in the resin/water interface. Such a microenvironment promotes the aldol reaction and increases the stereoselectivity. Recycling investigations have shown that this material can be reus…
ChemInform Abstract: Stereoselective Synthesis of syn-α-Methyl-β-hydroxy Esters.
2000
Abstract Boron enolates of an ethyl ketone structurally related to erythrulose react with achiral aldehydes in a highly stereoselective fashion to yield 1,2- syn /1,3- syn stereoisomers. Oxidative cleavage of the aldol adducts yields enantiopure O -formylated syn -α-methyl-β-hydroxy esters, easily cleaved to the corresponding hydroxyl-free compounds. The aforementioned ketone behaves therefore as a chiral propionate enolate equivalent.
ChemInform Abstract: The Construction of Quaternary Stereocenters by the Henry Reaction: Circumventing the Usual Reactivity of Substituted Glyoxals.
2011
The enantioselective Henry reaction between alkyl- and arylglyoxal hydrates and nitromethane catalyzed by Cu(II)-iminopyridine complexes takes place regioselectively on the ketone carbonyl group to give chiral tertiary nitroaldols with high functional group density and enantiomeric excesses of up to 96 %. Both aromatic and aliphatic glyoxals are suitable substrates for this reaction.
Stereoselective Synthesis of the Glycosidase Inhibitor Australine through a One-Pot, Double-Cyclization Strategy
2006
[reaction: see text] A stereocontrolled, convergent synthesis of the alkaloid australine, a glycosidase inhibitor of the pyrrolizidine class, is described. The chiral starting materials were ketone 3, derived from L-erythrulose, and alpha-alkoxy aldehyde 4, prepared from L-malic acid. A key step of the synthesis was the highly stereoselective aldol reaction between 4 and a Z boron enolate derived from 3. Another key step was the one-pot construction of the bicyclic pyrrolizidine system by means of a three-step sequence of SN2 displacements induced by benzylamine on a trimesylate precursor.

2010
Abstract Tetramethylguanidine-catalyzed addition of primary nitroalkanes to aldehydes and alicyclic ketones constitutes a practical means to perform the nitro-aldol reaction (Henry reaction). The very mild conditions employed, together with the short reaction times, make the procedure tolerant of a range of functionalities and highly versatile for the synthesis of a variety of 2-nitroalkanols.
