| Abstract | |
We report herein that good to excellent levels of 1,5-anti stereoinduction are obtained in boron enolate aldol reactions of 1,2-syn -alkoxy methyl ketones with achiral aldehydes, when the b-alkoxy protecting group is part of a benzylidene ketal. The strong internal stereoinduction of the b-alkoxy stereocenter of the boron enolates dominates the overall stereochemical outcome of the corresponding aldol addition reactions, leading to the 1,5-anti products with good levels of diastereoselectivities. Even with the use of acyclic a-methyl-b-alkoxy methyl ketones, the b-stereocenter plays a dominant role in determining the sense of 1,5-anti asymmetric induction, although lower levels of diastereoselectivities were obtained. Due to the lower energy difference observed between transition states, it looks like a mismatched relationship case as a competition between 1,4-syn induction from the a-methyl stereocenter and 1,5-anti induction from the b-alkoxy stereocenter. The results showed a predominance of 1,5-induction in competition with 1,4-induction. (AU) | |
