Scheme 1.30 Synthesis of N -galactosyl α -aminoalkylphosphonates 97.
The diastereomerically pure compounds 97 were obtained by simple recrystal-
lization from n -hexane and diethyl ether. To determine the absolute configuration
of the main isomer of the diethyl phosphite addition to N -galactosyl aldimines 5,
a single-crystal X-ray diffraction study of 97 (R
=
p -Cl) was performed. The molecu-
lar structure of 97 (R
p -Cl), shown in Figure 1.4, proves that the absolute con-
figuration of the main product is (S) [42].
Figure 1.5 shows a possible mechanism for the reaction. The preferred forma-
tion of the (S)- configured diastereomers of 97 can be rationalized by an attack of
diethyl phosphite from the Si side of N -galactosylaldimines 5. Initially, the Lewis
acid boron trifluoride is coordinated to the imine nitrogen of 5. The Re -face of the
imine is shielded by the 2- O -pivaloyl group, leaving the Si -face exposed. Upon
attack of the diethyl phosphite in the transition state, one fluoride may be removed
from the Lewis acid and the vacant coordination site may then be filled by the
carbonyl oxygen of the 2- O -pivaloyl group.
