A s y m m e t r i c S y n t h e s i s o f ( + ) -P o l y o x a m i c A c i dAbstract: A short and efficient stereoselective synthesis of (+)-polyoxamic acid is described using an organocatalytic asymmetric Mannich reaction as the key step. The reaction proceeded in high yield and with excellent selectivity to establish two out of the three stereocenters present in (+)-polyoxamic acid. Additional steps include a diastereoselective reduction and ozonolysis of the furyl ring to generate the corresponding carboxylic acid.

The Mannich bases were obtained in high diastereo-and enantiomeric excesses (78% to >99% de, 81-98% ee) and were further elaborated using diastereoselective reduction protocols, as well as via diastereoselective direct reductive amination reactions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations –citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
