ASYMMETRIC-SYNTHESIS OF (1R,8S)-1-HYDROXYPYRROLIZIDIN-3-ONES AND (1S,8S)-1-HYDROXYPYRROLIZIDIN-3-ONES VIA THE ALDOL REACTION BETWEEN N-BOC-(S)-PROLINAL AND CHIRAL ACETATE ENOLATE EQUIVALENTS DERIVED FROM (S)-[(ETA-5-C5H5)FE(CO)(PPH3)COCH3] AND (R)-[(ETA-5-C5H5)FE(CO)(PPH3)COCH3]

Syntheses of both title compounds have been achieved with excellent stereocontrol using chiral acetate enolate equivalents derived from the iron acetyl complex [(η5-C5H5)Fe(CO)(PPh3)COCH3]. The different diastereoselectivities in the two syntheses are rationalised in terms of the concept of double a...
