β¦ Synopsis
An efficient synthesis of the (R)-3-hydroxy-and alkanoyloxytetradecanoic acid components of bacterial lipid A has been achieved using a Ru(lI)-Binap-catalyzed low-pressure hydrogenation in the key step. The enantiomeric purity of p-bromophenacyl ester intermediate 4 could be assessed directly by chiral HPLC---obviating separate derivatization steps and/or chiral NMR shift studies.

The detailed synthesis of (2R, 3R)-3-benzylglycidol by the Sharpless asymmetric epoxidation route is described. The enantiomeric purity determination of this compound is complicated by the presence of small quantities of the diastereometric (2R,3S)-3benzylglycidol from the asymmetric epoxidation of
A method is described for the synthesis of a-chloro-a-alkyl-and a-methyl-a-alkylphosphonic acids in either enantiomeric form and in high optical purity, based on the asymmettic allrylation of a-substituted bicyclic phosphonamides derived from a C2 symmetrical diamine.
