Scheme 5-18<br />

We also investigated azidation <strong>of</strong> the enolate <strong>of</strong> 53. The addition <strong>of</strong> trisyl azide<br />

4.105 to the enolate <strong>of</strong> 5-38 consistently gave the p-azide 5.53 with poor<br />

diastereoselectivity since a mixture <strong>of</strong> approximately 1:l inseparable epimers was<br />

obtained under al1 the conditions examined (LiHMDS with or without HMPA.<br />

LiHMDSlnBuLi, NaHMDS <strong>and</strong> KHMDS) (Scheme 5.19). The azide 5.53 was also<br />

generated in poor yield (15-288) even after wanning to rwm temperature after 16 hours<br />

at -78°C <strong>and</strong> 12 hours at 4°C. Previous reports for the synthesis <strong>of</strong> 5.12 (P=PhFi,<br />

R'=~Bu,M~, It2=~e, E=N3) stated the importance <strong>of</strong> shon reaction times (4 min.).<br />

However, the formation <strong>of</strong> 5.53 was not detected by ESI-MS after 5 <strong>and</strong> 10 minute<br />

periods. The diastereomen <strong>of</strong> 5.53 were reduced to the amine 5-54 in 67% yield, in an<br />

unsuccessful attempt to facilitate isolation <strong>of</strong> both diastereomers. Hycirolysis <strong>of</strong> 5.54<br />

gave the p-aminoaspartate 5-6 as a mixture <strong>of</strong> diastereomers in 32% yield.<br />
