Synthetic procedures for a large variety of C-2-symmetric chiral diols are reviewed. Prominent among these procedures are enantioselective reductions, epoxide-cleavages, dihydroxylation of olefins, and synthetic transformations. Applications of these diols as chiral auxiliaries/ligands for several important reactions are also highlighted. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Both the diastereomers of (+/-)-3-amino-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-diphenylpropan-1-ol were synthesized starting from a common intermediate, namely,B-hydroxy, oxime 6. Diastereoselective reduction with NaBH(4)/TiCl(4) and H(2)-Pd/C provided syn- and anti-isomers, respectively. Good overall yield and selectivity were realized using a simple protocol.

Efficient synthetic routes to both syn and anti diastereomers of a conformationally restricted 1,3-aminoalcohol were devised. Resolution of the aminoalcohols was accomplished through diastereomeric salt with R-(-)-O-acetyl mandelic acid. These aminoalcohols were examined as ligands for two standard reactions, namely, enantioselective addition of Et(2)Zn to aldehydes and reduction of prochiral ketones with BH(3).

A series of pyrrolidine derivatives were prepared and examined as catalysts for an aldol reaction. Structural variations in these molecules involved altering the sterics at the alpha-position, the position of the carbonyl group, and the acidities of the hydrogen bonding sites. The effect of these factors on catalytic activity and enantioselectivity was studied. The experimental results revealed that additional sterics at the alpha-position were detrimental. However, no correlation was found between the catalytic activity and N-H acidity. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Mukaiyama-type aldol reaction of trimethylsilyl enolates with aldehydes in the presence of a base is a complicated reaction. It usually results in various products determined by the nature of base and reaction medium. The present study has been undertaken to understand these factors and design new Lewis base catalysts to optimize the yield of desired aldol product. It has been shown that mild Bronsted base with inbuilt hydrogen bonding sites are efficient catalysts for the reactions involving trimethylsilyl enolates. Based on the observed results, a mechanism is proposed to explain the reaction outcome.
