73. 1H NMR coupling constant analysis with 51 and 52 displaying diagnostic coupling constants of 3.6 and 4.0 Hz, respectively between the C(2′)H and C(3′)H protons, indicative of a syn-configuration. Furthermore, recrystallisation of the minor diastereoisomeric product of the reaction with isobutyraldehyde allowed the syn-relative configuration of the minor aldol product 52 to be unambiguously determined by X-ray crystallographic analysis, with the absolute (4S,2′R,3′S)-configuration assigned relative to the known (S)-configuration of the C(4)-stereogenic centre. Within the crystal lattice for compound 52 intermolecular hydrogen bonding is observed between the C(3′)-hydroxyl groups and the C(1′)-carbonyl groups.{A figure is presented} Chem3D representation of the single crystal X-ray structure of 52 (some H atoms have been omitted for clarity).
74. Within the crystal lattice for compound 22 intermolecular hydrogen bonding is observed between the C(3′)-hydroxyl groups and the C(2)-carbonyl groups, whereas for compound 23 intermolecular hydrogen bonding is observed between the C(3′)-hydroxyl groups and the C(1′)-carbonyl groups.
75. No aldol products were isolated upon reaction with pivalaldehyde, presumably due to its steric bulk precluding reaction.
76. In each case, β,γ-unsaturated 12 was isolated (typically in ∼20% yield), along with small amounts (<5%) of SuperQuat auxiliary 11.
