Double Asymmetric Synthesis and a New Strategy for Stereochemical Control in Organic Synthesis

Masamune, Satoru, Choy, William, Petersen, John S., Sita, Lawrence R.·1985·Angewandte Chemie International Edition in English

Abstract

This account examines double asymmetric induction from theoretical and practical viewpoints. In the context of four major organic reactions‐the aldol, Diels‐Alder, catalytic hydrogenation, and epoxidation‐it is shown that a double asymmetric induction can be analyzed in terms of the single asymmetric reactions of each of the two chiral reactants. A rule which qualitatively relates the results of these single asymmetric reactions with the outcome of the double asymmetric reaction is proposed. A powerful new strategy based on this rule for the predictable creation of new chiral centers is discussed and the use of this strategy for the synthesis of sugars and macrolides is presented.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
