Asymmetric Synthesis of α-Substituted β-Formyl δ-Lactones via a Michael Addition/α-Alkylation Protocol

Publication History
Publication Date:
31 December 1999 (online)
An efficient trans-diastereo- and enantioselective synthesis of α-substituted β-formyl δ-lactones 5 (de ≥ 98%, ee = 80-95%) is described, employing formaldehyde-SAMP-hydrazone (1) as a neutral formyl anion equivalent. The new procedure involves the Michael addition of 1 to 5,6-dihydro-2H-pyran-2-one (2) followed by trans-selective α-alkylation and subsequent oxidative cleavage of the auxiliary.
