The synthesis of β-hydroxy-α-amino acid has been widely documented in the literature.[1] Indeed, this moiety can be found in numerous natural products such as vancomycin [2] and lactacystin.[3] One of the most rapid routes to these products involves an aldol condensation between an N-protected glycine and an aldehyde. Miller and co-workers [4] reported aldol condensation of a glycine Schiff base with aldehydes using a chiral phase-transfer catalyst. More recently, Shibasaki and co-workers [5] reported the successful direct asymmetric aldol reaction [6] between a glycine Schiff base and several aliphatic aldehydes with moderate diastereoand enantioselectivities. In the same year, Maruoka and coworkers [7] described the same reaction using a phase-transfer catalyst giving the corresponding aldol adduct with high diastereo-and enantioselectivities. Other groups also reported similar aldol condensations using glycine Schiff bases.[8] As alternative nucleophilic species, 5-alkoxyoxazole,[9] α-isocyano acetates,[10] and α-isothiocyanatoimides [11] were used for this type of reaction.[12] Moreover, enzymatic accesses have been found but show some substrate limitations.[13] Recently, our group showed that aminoalkanes could be protected and activated at the same time by using a 9-fluorenylidene group.[14] This group allows a strong activation of the α-position of the nitrogen atom via stabilization of the 14 π electron system.[15] Based on that idea, we have developed an efficient synthesis of diamine compounds by Mannich-type reactions of N-protected imines, such as N-tert-butoxycarbonyl (Boc) or N-diphenylphosphinoyl (Dpp) imines. Those results encouraged us to investigate the direct-type aldol reactions of fluorenylidene-protected glycine Schiff bases. Herein, we describe the development of highly stereoselective aldol reactions using a catalytic amount of functionalized base.
