✦ Synopsis
Both threo-and erythro-8-hydroxy-u-methylcarboxylic acid thiol esters are stereoselectively synthesized through an aldol-type condensation of vinyloxyboranes derived formally from S-tertbutyl propanethioate.
The basic carbon skeletons of many macrolide antibiotics are biosynthesized through a series of condensations of acetyl-and propionyl-CoA units and are rich in chirality. 1 Methods to achieve stereoselective construction of the @hydroxy-a-methylcarbonyl system, 2 therefore, are highly useful for, and sometimes essential to, the synthesis of these antibiotics.
We have recently demonstrated that z-and E-vinyloxyboranes can be prepared stereoselectively and that the z-and s-isomers react with aldehydes to yield mainly the erythro and threo aldol products, ~-

We report the stereoselectivity in the formation and radical reduction of six-and seven-membered cyclic bromoacetals. The oxidative ring cleavage of the resulting acetals gave the corresponding acyclic d-hydroxyand o-hydroxy-a-methylcarboxylic acid esters.
A diastereoselective synthesis of [5-Lactams 5a-e and 6a-e has been achieved, via a Staudinger reaction using imines derived from (1S)-(+)-camphor-10-sulfonamide, in good yields. The major diastereomers 6a-e were isolated in pure form by crystallization. The absolute configuration of the [5-1actam 6
