22. In the preliminary experiments, (R)-4-isopropyloxazolidin-2-one (i), (S)-4-isopropyl-thiazolidin-2-thione (ii), and (1R)-2,10-camphur-sultam (iii) were examined as chiral auxiliaries in addition to (R)-4-benzyloxazolidin-2-one. However, when i was employed as a chiral source, the deconjugative asymmetric α-sulfenylation usually took place with a decreased diastereoselectivity and in a lower chemical yield than those obtained using (R)-4-benzyloxazolidin-2-one. In the case where ii was used as a chiral source, the attempted asymmetric reaction under various conditions always gave complex mixtures of the products. The asymmetric reaction employing iii as a chiral source afforded the ε-sulfenylated product corresponding to 11 (see text) as a sole product. Based on these numerous experiments, (R)-4-benzyloxazolidin-2-one was selected as the most promising chiral auxiliary. Ohata, K.; Terashima, S., unpublished results.

25. At the design stage for this synthetic strategy, it was uncertain whether 7 or ent-7 should be selected to produce the desired 5. However, it was expected that 5 could be obtained as a major product by selecting a chiral auxiliary and by tuning the conditions for reaction.

33. In our preliminary experiments, Dieckmann condensation of the imide compound derived from 5 by sequential deacetalization, retro-Michael reaction, and acylation without transesterification were attempted to produce 1. However, since the leaving ability of the imide moiety toward nucleophilic attack of the α-carbanion of thioester was insufficient for Dieckmann condensation under various conditions, we decided to subject the corresponding ester 3, which had a leaving ability superior to that of the imide compound, to Dieckmann condensation.
34. In addition to benzyl ester 15, some other esters (methyl, ethyl, and isopropyl ester) were synthesized in a similar manner. Since the thiols derived from these esters by sequential deacetalization and retro-Michael reaction were fairly volatile and unstable, the chemical yield of the acylated compound carrying a methyl, ethyl or isopropyl ester was found to be lower than that for 3 bearing a benzyl ester.
