3- and 4-uloses derived from N-acetyl- D -glucosamine: A unique pair of complementary organocatalysts for asymmetric epoxidation of alkenes
Schoeberl, Christof,Jaeger, Volker
, p. 790 - 796 (2012)
The 4-ulose and the 3-ulose, both derived in two steps from the α-methyl glycoside of N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (GlcNAc), act as organocatalysts in the asymmetric epoxidation of alkenes, with unprecedented complementary enantioselectivity. The best results are found with α,β-unsaturated esters as substrates, with enantiomeric ratios up to 90:10 and 11:89, respectively. Copyright
