Title:
PRODUCTION OF OXY-MICHAEL ADDUCTS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2004085344
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The invention provides a method of producing an oxy-Michael adduct comprising allowing a Michael acceptor to react with an alkoxide of an alcohol of formula R<1>0H having a chiral centre at the hydroxy carbon, in the presence of a multidentate ligand. The use of the multidentate ligand significantly increases stereoselectivity of the reaction. In a further aspect the multidentate ligand is not essential but the R<1> group is removed from the oxy-Michael adduct by acidic solvolysis. In a further aspect in which the multidentate ligand is not essential the alcohol R<1>0H is a lactol.
