Background:: Chiral β-hydroxy esters and α-substituted β-hydroxy esters represent versatile building blocks for pheromones, β-lactam antibiotics and 1,2- or 1,3-aminoalcohols. Objective:: Synthesis of versatile α-substituted β-keto esters and their diastereoselective reduction to the corresponding syn- or anti-α-substituted β-hydroxy esters. Assignment of the relative configuration by NMR-spectroscopy after a CURTIUS rearrangement of α-substituted β-keto esters to 4-substituted 5-methyloxazolidin-2-ones. Method:: Diastereoselective reduction was achieved by using different LEWIS acids (zinc, titanium and cerium) in combination with complex borohydrides as reducing agents. Assignment of the relative configuration was verified by 1H-NMR spectroscopy after CURTIUS-rearrangement of α-substituted β-hydroxy esters to 4-substituted 5-methyloxazolidin-2-ones. Results:: For the syn-selective reduction, titanium tetrachloride (TiCl4) in combination with a pyridine-borane complex (py BH3) led to diastereoselectivities up to 99% dr. High anti-selective reduction was achieved by using cerium trichloride (CeCl3) and steric hindered reducing agents such as lithium triethylborohydride (LiEt3BH). After CURTIUS-rearrangement of each α-substituted β-hydroxy ester to the corresponding 4-substituted 5-methyloxazolidin-2-one, the relative configuration was confirmed by 1H NMR-spectroscopy. Conclusion:: We have expanded the procedure of LEWIS acid-mediated diastereoselective reduction to bulky α-substituents such as the isopropyl group and the electron withdrawing phenyl ring.

A novel 1,5-disproportionation reaction has been discovered for 1,4-hydroxy biradicals derived from the photolysis of 9-methylbicyclo[3.3.1]nonyl phenyl ketones (1), which undergo mainly Yang cyclization both in solution and the solid state. By applying the solid-state ionic chiral auxiliary method of asymmetric synthesis to the Yang cyclization, enantiomeric excesses as high as 95% were achieved at high reaction conversions. The origin of the reaction selectivity is discussed with the help of X-ray crystallography. In addition, the solid-state photoreaction of ketone 1b was found to occur in a single crystal-to-single crystal fashion.Key words: photochemistry, 1,4-hydroxy biradical, disproportionation, asymmetric induction, ionic chiral auxiliary, single crystal-to-single crystal reaction.

The first electrophilic diastereoselective direct introduction of the difluoromethylthio group is described. We used a chiral auxiliary-based approach to illustrate the versatility of our recently developed difluoromethanesulfonyl hypervalent iodonium ylide reagents for the difluoromethylthiolation of indanone-based β-keto esters. Chiral SCF2H-featuring compounds were obtained in up to 93% ee value.
