Scheme 3.27 – reduction of ester 211<br />

Cyclohexanecarboxylic acid was easily recovered from the hydrogenation, which did<br />

not require workup, whilst reduction with ethereal lithium borohydride returned mostly<br />

amide 205, rather than the desired alcohol. Disappointingly precipitation could not be<br />

induced with arene 101b, and amide 211, the thermodynamic product, was isolated in<br />

near quantitative yield (Scheme 3.28).<br />

Scheme 3.28 – hydrolysis of aryl oxazolines<br />

Ar =<br />

MeO<br />

Hydrolysis of diol 213 and enone 201 both precipitated the ester as the major product,<br />

although enone 201 gave equal amounts of the ester and an unidentified oil. <strong>The</strong> IR<br />

spectrum of this oil contained only one strong absorption at 1672 cm -1 , likely <strong>to</strong> be the<br />

enone, and NMR analysis showed no significant aromatic or isopropyl peaks. Whilst<br />

attempting the epoxide opening of 216, ester 217 was isolated in good yield, but was<br />

not reacted further (Scheme 3.29).<br />
