Abstract
In situ prepared Cp 2(Cl)Zr ⊛ catalyzes the formation of ortho eśters from epoxy esters. Acid-sensitive α-amino and α-hydroxy acid derivatives are converted in high yield to 2,7,8-trioxabicyclo[3.2.1]octanes (ABO-esters) using this protocol. This strategy is complementary to the OBO-ester technology, and orthogonal methods for the deprotection of ABO- and OBO-esters have been developed. The syntheses of the mushroom components ( S)- γ-hydroxyleucine lactone and ( S)- α-vinylglycine underline the value of ABO-ester protective group strategy. Using chiral epoxy alcohol derivatives, the first convenient and general asymmetric synthesis of bicyclic ortho esters has been achieved.
