Abstract
The indium-mediated reaction of phthaloyl-protected α-amino aldehydes 1-4 with methyl 2-(bromomethyl)acrylate in aqueous solvents was investigated. The homoallyl alcohols 5-8 were formed in 72-89% yields, the anti-isomers being the major diastereoisomers (dr 45:55-18:82). Acid-catalyzed esterification (H2SO4 in Et2O) led to α-methylene γ-butyrolactones 9,10 with yields ranging from 88 to 99%. Conjugate addition of cyanide and thiophenolate led to the addition products with improved selectivities compared with additions to carbamate-protected substrates. During the conjugate addition of a cuprate, a trapping of the intermediate enolate by a phthaloyl carbonyl group occurred, leading to tetracycle 11 in 57% yield. The configuration of all diastereoisomers could be established by three X-ray crystallographic analyses and by NMR spectroscopy.

The respective isomers could be separated by medium pressure liquid chromatography (MPLC). All new compounds gave satisfactory spectroscopic data (NMR, IR, MS, [α]D 20 and elemental analyses).

Data (2735 collected reflections, and 2063 unique reflections [I > 2σ(I)]) were measured on a Nicolet P3 diffractometer with Mo-Kα radiation (graphite monochromator) using 2θ-ω-scans at 293(2) K. The structure was solved by direct methods and the non-hydrogen atoms were refined anisotropically by full-matrix least-squares based on F2 to give the agreement factors R1 = 0.0597, ωR2 = 0.1289.
