Abstract

A synthetic strategy has been developed wherein the high 1, 2-stereoselection obtainable from aldol reaction of an a,@-unsaturated aldehyde is parlayed by a subsequent Claisen rearrangement into 1, 4-or 1, 5-stereoselection. For example, diol monoethers 26 and 31, obtained in three steps from aldol 11, are subjected to Claisen rearrangement to obtain amides 40 and 41 or ester 42. The diastereomeric diol monoethers 29 and 32 are similarly ...
