Stereoselective synthesis of 4-substituted-cyclic sulfamidate-5-carboxylates by asymmetric transfer hydrogenation accompanied by dynamic kinetic resolution and applications to concise stereoselective syntheses of (−)-epi-cytoxazone and the taxotere side-chain

Abstract

Dynamic kinetic resolution driven, asymmetric transfer hydrogenation reactions of cyclic sulfamidate imine-5-carboxylate esters were developed. Applications of the new methodology to stereoselective syntheses of the taxotere side-chain and (−)-epi-cytoxazone are described.
