An efficient and highly enantioselective synthesis of d-biotin from the known cis-1,3-dibenzyl-2-imidazolidone-4,5-dicarboxylic acid (5) was accomplished in 48% overall yield. The key reactions in the sequence involve the catalytic enantioselective reduction of meso-cyclic imide 6 using polymer-supported chiral oxazoborolidine, derived from (S)-α,α -diphenylprolinol and polymer-bound sulfonyl chloride, and the installation of the C5 side chain at C4 in the thiolactone 9 via a Ni/C-catalyzed Fukuyama coupling reaction.
