Transformations of 4,5-Substituted (4S,5S)-2,2-Dimethyl-1,3-dioxolanes

(4S,5S)-4,5-Bis(hydroxymethyl)-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolane treated with trifluoromethanesulfonyl chloride in pyridine undergoes tandem substitution of one hydroxy group by a triflate group, and the other by pyridinium moiety. In neutral solvents the (4S,5S)-4,5-bis(hydroxymethyl)-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolane dilithium salt reacts with trifluoromethanesulfonyl chloride affording both triflates and chlorides and also suffers a cleavage of the dioxolane ring followed by transformations of acyclic products. A triflate cationic complex rhodium cyclooctadiene (4S,5S)-2,3-dihydroxy-1,4-bis(dimethylamino)-2,3-O-isopropylidenebutane was prepared and used as catalyst for hydrogenation of -acetamidocinnamic and itaconic acids.

Metal complexes of C2-symmetric chiral bipyridine ligands. X-ray structure of [bis(nitrato)(4S,5S)-2,2-dimethyl-4,5-bis(2-pyridyl)-1,3-dioxolane cobalt(II)]

Chelating properties of C₂-symmetric chiral bipyridine ligands are discussed. In particular we report the syntheses of the cobalt(II), nickel(II), zinc(II) and copper(II) complexes of (4S,5S)-2,2-dimethyl-4,5-bis(2-pyridyl)-1,3-dioxolane. All compounds have been characterized by IR spectroscopy, and an X-ray diffraction analysis has been carried out on one of them: Co(L)(NO₃)₂. The ligand coordinates the cobalt atom by the two nitrogen donors N(1) and N(2). A seven-membered chelation ring is formed, presenting a remarkable non-crystallographic twofold pseudosymmetry around the axis connecting Co and the midpoint of the C(6)–C(7) bond. The metal also binds two monodentate nitrates, thus completing a distorted coordination tetrahedron.

The title compounds, $\text{1}$ and $\text{1}$', are readily available in four steps from 2-benzyloxymethyl-2-propen-1-ol, the key step being Sharpless asymmetric epoxidation to give the chiral epoxides $\text{5}$ or $\text{5}$'.

By suitable protecting group manipulation, both title enantiomers can be produced from either of the antipodal epoxides $\text{5}$ or $\text{5}$'.
