PG - 1206-10 LID - 10.3762/bjoc.6.138 [doi] AB - We report the first study of substrate-controlled diastereoselection in a double [3 + 2] dipolar cycloaddition of benzyl azide with alpha,beta-unsaturated imides. Using a strong Bronsted acid (triflic acid) to activate the electron deficient imide pi-bond, high diastereoselection was observed provided that a 1,1,3,3-tetraisopropoxydisiloxanylidene group (TIPDS) is used to restrict the conformation of the central 1,3-anti diol. This development provides a basis for a stereocontrolled approach to the aminopolyol core of (-)-zwittermicin A using a bidirectional synthesis strategy.
