Abstract
The diastereoselective alkylation of amides 3a,b and 7a,b derived from gulonic acid is described. Substituted compounds are obtained in good yield and high diastereoselectivity. A mechanistic investigation establishes that the diastereoselectivity did not arise from an initial asymmetric deprotonation. The stereochemistry is then determined during the alkylation step.
