Highly enantioselective reaction of lithiated N-Boc-thiazolidine: a new chiral formyl anion equivalent

Abstract

Reaction of lithiated N-Boc-thiazolidine 1 with various aldehydes in the presence of (−)-sparteine afforded the products with up to 93% ee. The reaction was confirmed to proceed through a dynamic thermodynamic resolution pathway. Each diastereomeric alcohol could be converted to the corresponding optically active 1,2-ethanediols.
