An efficient entry to highly functionalised C4 chiral synthons via Lewis acid-catalysed ene reaction of (1S)-β-pinene and α-keto esters. Part 4.
Abstract
The ene reaction between (1S)-β-pinene (8) and α-keto esters catalysed by Lewis acids is found to provide a high level of diastereocontrol. The resulting educts have been elaborated into a wide variety of α-hydroxy carboxylic acids with satisfactory yield and excellent optical purity.
