“…[28] Ϫ Optical rotations were deterethyl acetate, 3:1 (19.6 mg, 0.02 mmol) and dppb benzophenone. The following compounds were prepared according (34.5 mg, 0.08 mmol) in THF (5 mL) was added to a degassed mixto literature procedures: but-3-en-1,2-diol, [31] (Z)-1,4-bis(methoxyture of 3-methoxybenzene-1,2-diol (9c) (150 mg, 1.07 mmol) and carbonyloxy)but-2-ene (2a), [32] 4-N-acetylaminobenzene-1,2-diol (Z)-1-benzyloxy-4-(methoxycarbonyloxy)but-2-ene (253 mg, (6b), [33] 3-tert-butylbenzene-1,2-diol (9b), [34] 3-nitrobenzene-1,2-1.07 mmol), in THF (2 mL). After being stirred for 12 h at 25°C, diol (9c), [34] (Z)-4-(methoxycarbonyloxy)but-2-en-1-ol, [35] (Z)-4-the solvent was evaporated and the residue was separated by chromethoxycarbonyloxy)-1-benzyloxybut-2-ene [36] and (1R,2R)-1,2-matography on silica to give 51 mg of compound 14 as an oil bis-N-[2Ј-(diphenylphosphanyl)benzoyl]-1,2-diaminocyclo-(16%); R f 0.54 (eluent: petroleum ether/diethyl ether, 1:1.5).…”
