Synthesis of Single-Enantiomer 6-Hydroxy-7-phenyl-1,4-oxazepan-5-ones

2005 
An efficient two-step preparation of (6R,7R)-6-hydroxy-7-phenyl-l,4-oxazepan-5-ones (1) starting from aminoethanols and (2R,3S)-3-phenyloxirane-2-carboxylic ethyl ester or potassium salt has been described. The most efficient catalyst identified for the ring closure of the resulting intermediate epoxyamides was Sc(OTf) 3 . By choice of appropriate chiral starting substituted aminoethanol and 3-phenyloxirane-2-carboxylic derivatives, the procedure allows facile synthesis of other single enantiomer 6-hydroxy-7-phenyl-1,4-oxazepan-5-ones.
