Abstract
Analytical HPLC methods for the determination of the enantiomeric excess of N-protected malimides 1 as well as the corresponding pyrrolidinol 5 and tartarimides 2 and 3 have been established. On this basis, a study to reveal the racemization step in the synthesis of pyrrolidinols from alpha-hydroxyacids, via chiral cyclic alpha-hydroxyimides, has been undertaken. It was confirmed that the known, one-step method for the synthesis of the N-protected chiral cyclic imides from alpha-hydroxydiacids proceeded with little racemization, and partial racemization has been proven to occur during the reduction of the resultant imide la with LAH to yield the corresponding pyrrolidinol 5. Conditions have been defined in order to avoid racemization in the LAH reduction step. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
