An efficient, stereodivergent and enantioselective synthesis of N-Boc-aminoalkyl epoxides has been developed. Starting from enantiomerically enriched anti N-diphenylmethyl-3-amino-1,2-diols, and after a change in the nitrogen protecting group, an intramolecular Mitsunobu reaction leads to the erythro aminoalkyl epoxides; a three step sequence consisting of protection of the primary alcohol, activation of the secondary alcohol and simultaneous deprotection/cyclization affords in good yields the corresponding threo isomers. |
