Abstract

The diastereospecific formation of β-N-glycoside-linked α-amino-2(5H)-furanone has been achieved with high yield via a vinylogous Mannich reaction. The reaction was performed by using O-pivaloylated galactosylamine 1 as a chiral template and ZnCl(2)·Et(2)O as a promoter in Et(2)O. Imines 3 of aromatic compounds and trimethylsiloxyfuran 4 were converted to N-galactosyl α-amino-2(5H)-furanone 5, giving ratios of diastereomers higher than 20:1. This procedure provides rapid access to biologically important γ-butenolide derivatives.
