Preparation of the "Ziegler key intermediate" 2from lactone 3, readily obtained from hydroxy-O-ionone, was studied. In a first exploratory approach, lactones 11 and 13 were obtained but further transformations aimed at setting the ring junction were unsuccessful due to unexpected rearrangements. Thr
A short stereoselective synthesis of the acetoxy azetidinone (1), an important precursor of several biologically active โค-lactam antibiotics, has been accomplished in seven steps and 32.8% overall yield from the easily available and inexpensive (R) ethyl 3-hydroxybutanoate.
The enantioselective hydrogenation of (E)-2-(4-methoxy-3-(3-methoxypropoxy)-benzylidene)-3-methylbutanoic acid (1) to (R)-2-(4-methoxy-3-(3-methoxypropoxy)-benzyl)-3-methylbutanoic acid (2)-a key intermediate in the synthesis of the pharmacologically important renin inhibitor Aliskiren-is described.
