Cyclic sulfate compounds

2. Background of the Invention
The study of the relationship of three dimensional structure to properties is called stereochemistry, one aspect of which is the study of stereoisomers. Isomers are compounds which have the same molecular formula; stereoisomers differ from each other only in the way the atoms are oriented in space. Enantiomers are stereoisomers which are mirror images of each other and which share all of the same physical properties except one: the direction in which they rotate a plane polarized light, or optical rotation. Enantiomers are distinguishable from each other only by their optical rotation. Enantiomers display a property known as chirality. One characteristic of chiral molecules is that they are not superimposible on their mirror images. One enantiomer rotates the plane of polarized light to the left and the other enantiomer, its mirror image, rotates the plane of light to the right. If the rotation of the plane is to the right (clockwise), the substance is dextrorotatory, and the enantiomer is designated with a plus (+) sign. Conversely, if the optical rotation is to the left (counterclockwise), the substance is levorotatary, and the enantiomer is designated as minus (-). Enantiomers display equal, but opposite, optical rotation.
The existence of stereoisomers provides us with one of the most sensitive probes into mechanisms of chemical and biological reactions. Despite the very close similarity of enantiomers, they may display very different properties. Although very similar in structure, one isomer of the chiral pair may serve as an antibiotic, heart stimulant, food, or display other biological activity, and the other isomer may be totally biologically inert. J. March, Advanced Organic Chemistry, page 87, (2nd edition) McGraw Hill Co., New York, N.Y. (1977).
Enantiomers have identical chemical properties, except their interactions with optically active reagents. Enantiomeric molecules undergo the same chemical reactions with achiral molecules, and at the same rates, since the atoms of each are influenced in their reactivity by exactly the same combination of substituents. A reagent approaching either enantiomer encounters the same environment, except that one environment is the mirror image of the other. In the case of an optically active reagent, however, the influences exerted on the reagent in its attack on the enantiomers are not identical, and reaction rates will be different. In some systems of this nature, the reaction will not take place at all for one of the isomers.
In biological systems, such stereospecificity is the rule rather than the exception. The most obvious reason for this is that enzymes and most of their targets are optically active molecules. For example, (+)-glucose is an extremely important metabolite, but (-)-glucose is biologically inactive. The hormonal activity of (-)-adrenaline is several times greater than its mirror image (+)-adrenaline, and only one enantiomer of the compound chloromycetin is an antibiotic. (For other examples, see R. T. Morrison and R. N. Boyd, Organic Chemistry, 3rd edition, Allyn and Bacon, Inc., Boston, Mass., pages 126-127) This stereospecific activity is one reason why chiral molecules are so important as a basis for bioactive compounds.
Tartaric acid, (C.sub.4 H.sub.6 O.sub.6) which is readily available in both enantiomeric forms, is an extremely useful and versatile chiral starting material for natural product and drug synthesis. Tartaric acid is used extensively in industry and as a food acidulant. Its two-fold symmetry axis causes all four functionalized carbon atoms to exist as homotopic pairs and thus simplifies its functional group transformations. Owing to its unique properties, many synthetic applications based on tartaric acid have been developed. For example, D. Seebach and coworkers describe the synthesis of chiral compounds from tartartic acid enantiomers in Modern Synthetic Methods 1980, R. Scheffold (ed.), Otto Salle Verlag, Frankfurt, FRG, p. 115-171 (1980). Hungerbuhler et al. describe the synthesis of chiral agents from tartaric acid using an epoxyalcohol intermediate in Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. Engl., 18(12):958-960 (1979). Schnurrenberger, et al. describe the synthesis of a chiral antibiotic, (+)-colletodiol, in Liebigs. Ann. Chem., pages 733-744 (1987). Mori and Iwasawa describe the synthesis of chiral pheromones using the enantiomers of tartrate as starting materials in Tetrahedron, 36:87-90(1980). Saito et al. describe the production of four stereoisomers of pure 2,3 epoxyesters from tartaric acids in Tetrahedron Letters, 27(43):5249-5252 (1986). Hansson and Kihlberg describe the synthesis of an optically active derivative of the amino acid aspartic acid in J. Org. Chem., 51:4490-4492 (1986).

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to ruthenium-catalyzed conversion of cyclic sulfites to cyclic sulfates, methods of producing cyclic sulfates by ruthenium-catalyzed in situ oxidation of cyclic sulfites, compounds produced by such methods and methods of reacting the resulting cyclic sulfates with selected nucleophiles. More particularly, the invention relates to tartrate cyclic sulfate compounds, particularly tartrate cyclic sulfate diesters and diamides, and to a method of producing such compounds. In the method of the present invention, tartrate cyclic sulfate compounds are synthesized from dialkyl tartrates in a two-stage reaction in which the tartrates are cyclized to form the corresponding cyclic sulfite, which are then converted to the corresponding cyclic sulfate by ruthenium-catalyzed in situ oxidation of the cyclic sulfites. Ruthenium-catalyzed in situ oxidation of cyclic sulfites produced or obtained by other means can also be carried out by the method of the present invention.
The invention further relates to products produced by reacting the cyclic sulfate compounds with selected nucleophiles, to produce substituted products useful for natural product and drug syntheses, as well as to a method of producing such compounds. The present method provides an efficient means of synthesizing chiral building blocks from tartrates or other compounds using a two stage, one-pot procedure which produces high yields of the desired product.
The method of the invention produces cyclic sulfate compounds having the general structure: ##STR1## and its enantiomers, wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 can be any organic or inorganic substituent which forms a covalent bond with a carbon atom of the starting compound, and which permits formation of the stable, sulfite and sulfate ring structures. R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 can be hydrogen, alkyl, aryl, carbonyl, carboxylic esters, carboxyalkyl, amide or any other organic group, providing that the corresponding cyclic sulfite and cyclic sulfate ring structures are stable, and that R.sub.1 -R.sub.4 are stable under the reaction conditions (i.e., they do not decompose or become oxidized during the reaction). For example, when R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 hydrogen, alkyl or aryl groups, the above structure represents a simple 1,2 cyclic sulfate. When either R.sub.1 or R.sub.2 is an ester group and the other is hydrogen, and either R.sub.3 or R.sub.4 is an alkyl group and the other is hydrogen, the structure represents an .alpha.,.beta.-ester cyclic sulfate. When either R.sub.1 or R.sub.2 is an amide group and the other is hydrogen, and either R.sub.3 or R.sub.4 is an alkyl group and the other is hydrogen, the structure represents an .alpha., .beta.-amide cyclic sulfate. When either R.sub.1 or R.sub.2 is an ester group and the other is hydrogen and either R.sub.3 or R.sub.4 is also an ester group and the other hydrogen, the structure represents a tartrate 2,3 cyclic sulfate. All four R groups may be different.
The method of the invention also produces tartrate cyclic sulfate diesters having the general structure: ##STR2## and its enantiomers. R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 can be alkyl or aryl groups. R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are generally the same, although they may be different. R.sub.1 or R.sub.2, but not both, can be hydrogen.
The method of the invention also produces tartrate cyclic sulfate diamides having the general structure: ##STR3## and its enantiomers, wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3, and R.sub.4 can be hydrogen, or an alkyl or aryl group. Each of the four substituents can be different. R.sub.1 and R.sub.3 will generally be the same, although they may be different. Similarly, R.sub.2 and R.sub.4 will generally be the same, but they may also be different. All four substituents may be the same, except in the case of hydrogen; at least one substituent must be other than hydrogen.
The process of the present invention is used to produce both enantiomers of cyclic sulfate compounds. For example, tartrate cyclic sulfate diesters and tartrate cyclic sulfate can be produced from either (+)-tartrate esters or amides, respectively, or (-)-tartrate esters or amides, respectively. These cyclic tartrate diesters and diamides are then transformed by nucleophilic reactions into chiral building blocks which can be used as chiral synthons for natural product and drug syntheses.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to the ruthenium-catalyzed conversion of cyclic sulfites to cyclic sulfates, methods of producing cyclic sulfates by ruthenium catalyzed in situ oxidation of the cyclic sulfites, compounds produced by such methods and methods of reacting the cyclic sulfate products with a selected nucleophile. More particularly, the invention concerns tartrate cyclic sulfate diesters and diamides, and to methods of preparing them from dialkyl tartrates or dialkyl tartramides using a two-stage reaction process. The present process utilizes ruthenium-catalyzed oxidation of the corresponding cyclic sulfites. The tartrate cyclic sulfate diesters and diamides are chiral compounds which can be used to produce biologically active substances, such as antibiotics and pheromones. The invention further relates to the reaction of these chiral compounds with nucleophiles to form various substituted chiral compounds useful for the production of drugs, and other biologically active products.
The method of the invention produces cyclic sulfate compounds having the general structure: ##STR4## wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 can be any organic or inorganic group which forms a covalent bond with the carbon atoms of the starting compound, and which permits formation of the stable intermediate sulfite or sulfate ring structures. R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 can be hydrogen, aryl groups, such as phenyl, or alkyl groups such as methyl groups, ethyl groups, cyclohexyl groups, carbonyl or carboxyalkyl groups, amides or any other group, providing that the sulfite and sulfate ring structures are stable and R.sub.1 -R.sub.4 are stable under the reaction conditions. For example, it is unlikely that R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 can both be electron rich aromatic systems because the cyclic sulfate products will not be stable due to decomposition of the cyclic sulfate caused by the formation of benzylic type carbonium ions. Within the limitations set out above, R.sub.1 through R.sub.4 can be selected from a variety of substituent groups. All four R groups may be the same or different, however, all four R groups cannot be hydrogen. The general structure above shows one enantiomer. The other enantiomer can also be produced using the method of the present invention.
In one embodiment of the present invention, ruthenium-catalyzed oxidation is used to produce tartrate cyclic sulfates. Many synthetic transformations based on tartaric acid have been developed. However, an efficient general method of selective activation of one of the hydroxyl groups for substitution by carbon, hydrogen or other heteroatom nucleophiles (e.g., compounds including oxygen, nitrogen, sulphur and halides) has, until the present invention, been unavailable. According to the method of the present invention, dihydroxy cyclic sulfates are prepared by ruthenium-catalyzed oxidation of the corresponding cyclic sulfites with an oxidant such as, for example, sodium periodate (NaIO.sub.4) or sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), from vicinal dihydroxy tartrate compounds. These dihydroxy compounds may also be referred to herein as tartrate diols. The tartrate cyclic sulfate compounds produced by the present method can then be reacted with various nucleophiles followed by hydrolysis, to form a variety of useful chiral compounds. G. W. Fisher, et al., Comprehensive Heterocyclic Chemistry, Vol. 6, Pergamon Press, Oxford, P. 851 (1984) and T. J. Tewson, J. Org. Chem., 48:3507 (1983).
This method takes advantage of the C.sub.2 symmetry of tartaric acid by simultaneously activating one hydroxyl group, and protecting the other hydroxyl group on the tartrate molecule via the cyclic intermediate.
Other starting materials may be used in addition to tartrates. For example, aminoalcohols can be used. The use of vicinal aminoalcohols will produce the intermediate cyclic sulfamite, which then undergoes ruthenium catalyzed oxidation, as described herein, to form the cyclic sulfamate. Using this process, cyclic sulfamates, such as ephedrine and pseudoephedrine cyclic sulfamate may be synthesized.
Cyclic sulfate was chosen because of its ease of access, thermostability and high reactivity toward nucleophiles (due to the ring strain inherent in the 5 membered sulfate structure ring). J. G. Tillett, Phosphorus and Sulfur, 1:341 (1976). The reactivity of tartrate cyclic sulfate is further enhanced by the carboxylate or amide groups present in the molecule. F. G. Bordwell and W. T. Brannen, Jr., J. A. Chem. Soc. 86:4645 (1964); and S. S. Shaik., J. Am. Chem. Soc.,105:4359 (1983).
Tartrate cyclic sulfate compounds are very stable at room temperature and under weak acidic conditions, and show little moisture sensitivity. They react with various nucleophiles to form substituted mono-sulfate salts. These mono-substituted salts are much less reactive toward further nucleophile substitution, however. They hydrolyze under acidic conditions in situ, through fission of the oxygen-sulfur bond to yield the .beta.-substituted erythro malate esters. The reduced reactivity of the molecule after the first nucleophilic substitution indicates that the cyclic sulfate group functions as an activating group for one hydroxyl group, and at the same time, as a protecting group for the other hydroxyl group.
FIG. 1 illustrates the general reaction scheme of the present invention. It shows the production of tartrate cyclic sulfate diesters, including the starting and intermediate materials and the resulting tartrate cyclic sulfate diester products. The tartrate diester has the general formula: ##STR5## and is shown as compound (1) in FIG. 1. In this reaction scheme, R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 can be any alkyl or aryl group capable of forming ester linkages with tartaric acid. R.sub.1 or R.sub.2, but not both, can be hydrogen. For example, R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 can be methyl, ethyl, isopropyl or cyclohexyl groups. In a given tartrate starting compound and, thus, in the resulting products, R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 can be both the same, or can be different.
In addition, the starting materials can be diamides having the general formula: ##STR6## and its enantiomer. In this case, R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3, and R.sub.4 can be hydrogen or any alkyl or aryl group capable of forming amide linkages with tartrate, and of forming stable cyclic sulfite intermediates and cyclic sulfate products.
According to the method of the present invention, the starting material (e.g., a selected dihydroxy tartrate diamide or diester), is treated with a thionyl halide, such as thionyl chloride (SOCl.sub.2), in an organic solvent, such as carbon tetrachloride (CCl.sub.4), at an appropriate temperature (e.g., approximately 60.degree. C.), to yield a cyclic sulfite compound. In most cases, there is no need for isolation of the sulfite; however, isolation may sometimes be preferable. In general, in the same reactor, the cyclic sulfite compound produced by the first stage of the reaction is combined with an oxidizing agent, which will generally be an inorganic compound such as sodium periodate (NaIO.sub.4), sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), sodium bromate (NaBrO.sub.3), calcium hypochloride (Ca(ClO).sub.2), or sodium chlorate (NaClO.sub.3). A catalytic quantity of a Ru(III)-containing compound, such as ruthenium chloride (RuCl.sub.3.3H.sub.2 O) is added, generally in combination with a L solvent or solvent mixture such as acetonitrile (CH.sub.3 CN) and water. The mixture is stirred at room temperature until the reaction is complete. The product of the reaction is the tartrate cyclic sulfate. In this step, the intermediate cyclic sulfite is oxidized to produce the desired tartrate cyclic sulfate compound, which will have one of the two following general structures: ##STR7## The preferred oxidant is sodium periodate, in an amount between about 1.0 to 1.5 equivalents to the substrate. The preferred Ru(III) catalyst is ruthenium chloride. Preferred levels of the ruthenium chloride catalyst are between about 0.001 and 0.01 equivalents.
The resulting cyclic sulfate compounds can then be isolated and subsequently reacted with a selected nucleophile, such as sodium azide or ammonium thiocyanate. The isolation step is preferred but not necessary; the reaction with the nucleophile may be performed in situ. The general reaction scheme is shown in FIG. 2. Other nucleophiles are represented in Table 3 (below). These reactions are generally fast and proceed at room temperature or below in polar solvents under neutral, basic and acidic conditions.
Nucleophilic reagents, often referred to as nucleophiles, are substances that are electron-rich and can offer a pair of electrons for bond formation. Nucleophilic substitution is the displacement of one leaving group by a nucleophile in a chemical compound. Nucleophilic substitution can proceed by two different mechanisms: first-order kinetics, in which the reaction rate depends on the concentration of only one substance; and second-order kinetics, in which the rate depends upon the concentrations of two reactants. Chiral compounds which undergo second order reactions usually yield a product with inversion of configuration at the reaction site. The production of an optically pure product is critical because of the selectivity of biological systems for a particular enantiomer.
The reaction of a cyclic sulfate compound and a selected nucleophile is described in Example 17 below and, in general, is carried out as described below. These substitutions proceed via second order kinetics to give .alpha.-substituted .beta.-succinate monosulfates, which are hydrolyzed under acidic conditions through fission of the O--S bond to yield the erythro--substituted malic esters. In general, the reaction is carried out as described below with specific reference to a tartrate diester: The tartrate cyclic sulfate diester formed as described above and represented by formula (1) below, is combined with a selected nucleophile. For example, it is combined with the nucleophile sodium azide (NaN.sub.3), in a solvent or solvent mixture in which both the tartrate compound and the nucleophile are soluble (e.g., acetone/water mixture) and maintained for a sufficient time and at an appropriate temperature for reaction of the tartrate cyclic sulfate diester and the nucleophile to occur. The product is a compound of the general formula (2), wherein Nu represents the nucleophile. ##STR8## In particular, chiral diester compounds of one of the following formulae can be produced: ##STR9## These compounds, and others which can be produced by reacting a tartrate cyclic sulfate diester or diamide of the present invention and an appropriate nucleophile, can be used to produce chiral synthons, such as .alpha.-amino-.beta.-hydroxy acids, which can be further modified to produce antibiotics, and precursors of pheromones. Basically the synthesis of chiral synthons from tartaric acid, for example, involves either transformation of the ester groups, transformation of the hydroxyl groups, or transformation of both functions. These transformations include substitution, reduction, ring formation and chain shortening or elongation. Through these transformations, both hydroxyl and ester groups can be chiral used to synthesize many useful synthons such as those shown below: ##STR10## For example, this process can be used to synthesize .beta.-hydroxyaspartate diesters, which are important chiral building blocks for .beta.-lactam antibiotics. A nucleophile, such as a sodium azide, is reacted with a tartrate cyclic sulfate compound such as, for example, (-)-diethyl tartrate 2,3 cyclic sulfate. The reaction is carried out in an organic solvent or solvent mixture (e.g., acetone and water), which is capable of solvating all of the reagents. The nucleophilic attack of this reaction causes the opening of the sulfate ring resulting in the mono-substituted product after acidic hydrolysis (here, diethyl (2S,3R)-2-azido-3-hydroxysuccinate). This product is then reduced in the presence of a catalyst (e.g., palladium) to yield the diethyl L-erythro-.beta.-hydroxyaspartate, which can be used without further purification.
Diethyl L-erythro-.beta.-hydroxyaspartate can then be used to produce a number of biologically active nuclear analogs of .beta.-lactam antibiotics using known synthetic procedures, such as the process described by Mattingly and Miller in J. Organic Chemistry, 48:3556-3559 (1983). Briefly, the substituted hydroxyaspartate diester is reacted with tert-butylpyrocarbonate to give the 7 Boc-derivative (diethyl(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-.beta.-hydroxyaspartate) which, upon coupling with o-benzylhydroxylamine, yields the desired hydroxyamate product. The hydroxyamate then undergoes diethylazodicarboxylate/triphenylphosphine-mediated cyclization to form .beta.-lactam. .beta.-lactams are an important class of antibiotics. This process can be used to form various optical isomers of .beta.-lactam to synthesize a number of chiral .beta.-lactam compounds of biological interest.
The compounds of the present invention can also be used as building blocks to form other substituted stereoisomers of .beta.-hydroxyaspartate compounds.
Ruthenium-catalyzed oxidation of cyclic sulfite compounds to form the corresponding cyclic sulfate compounds can also be used with starting compounds other than tartrate dihydroxy diesters and diamides. For example, the method of the present invention can be used to cyclize other dihydroxy compounds, such as mono-esters, monoamides, monocarboxylic acids and other carboxylate and non-carboxylate substituents. As mentioned above, non-dihydroxy compounds such as aminoalcohols can also be used. In this case, one of the oxygen molecules in the ring structure will be replaced with a nitrogen molecule to form the cyclic sulfamate. Various cyclic sulfate compounds synthesized using the present method are shown in Table 1.

EXAMPLE 1
General Procedure for Synthesis of Cyclic Sulfate
A three neck round-bottomed flask equipped with a reflux condenser and topped with a CaCl.sub.2 drying tube, a stopper and a rubber septum was charged with about 1.0 equiv. of the 1,2-diol and 1-4 ml of carbon tetrachloride (CCl.sub.4) per mmol substrate. Thionyl chloride (SOCl.sub.2) (Aldrich) in an amount of 1.2-1.5 equiv. was added via a syringe, and the resulting solution or suspension was heated at about 60.degree. C. to reflux until no 1,2-diol was left (the reaction was monitored by TLC). The solution was cooled with an ice bath and diluted with an equal amount of acetonitrile (CH.sub.3 CN) and 1.5 times the amount of water. Ruthenium chloride (RuCl.sub.3.H.sub.2) (Aldrich) in an amount of between 0.001-0.01 equiv. and 1.5-2.0 equiv. of sodium periodate (NaIO.sub.4) were added, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature until the reaction was complete. The mixture was then diluted with ether or methylene chloride (CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2) and the phases were separated. The organic phase was washed with H.sub.2 O, saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO.sub.3), brine, and dried over magnesium sulfate (MgSO.sub.4). The solution was filtered through a pad of Celite and silica gel to remove the brown color and concentrated under a vacuum. The product thus obtained was usually pure and could be used without further purification or could be purified by chromatography on silica gel or by recrystallation.
EXAMPLE 2
Preparation of 1,2-Decanediol Cyclic Sulfate ##STR12##
Preparation of 1,2-decanediol cyclic sulfate was carried out as described in Example 1. Thionyl chloride (5.5 mL, 75 mmol) was added to a suspension of 1,2-decanediol (8.71 g, 50 mmol) in CCl.sub.4 (50 ml), and the resulting solution was heated to reflux for 20 min. The solution was then cooled with ice-water and CH.sub.3 CN (50 ml) and water (75 ml) were added. After addition of RuCl.sub.3.3H.sub.2 O (130 mg, 0.5 mmol) and NaIO.sub.4 (21.4 g, 100 mmol), the mixture was stirred for 10 min. at room temperature. The mixture was then extracted with ether (250 ml), and the combined organic solution was washed with water, saturated NaHCO.sub.3 and brine. After drying over MgSO.sub.4, the solution was filtered through a pad of Celite and silica gel and concentration to give a pale yellow oil. The oil was purified by kugelrohr distillation to give 1,2 decanediol cyclic sulfate as a colorless oil in a yield of over 90% (10.81 g, 91.5%). The product had the following properties:
IR (film): 2940, 2860, 1470, 1390, 1210, 1000, 840 cm.sup.-1 ;
.sup.1 H NMR (CDCl.sub.3).delta.4.92-5.05 (m, 1 H), 4.70 (dd, J=5.9, 8.6 Hz, 1 H), 4.34 (t, J=8.4 Hz, 1 H), 1.90-2.04 (m, 1 H), 1.68-1.85 (m, 1 H), 1.20-1.45 (m, 12 H), 0.89 (t,J=6.44 Hz, 3 H).
Analysis calculated for the formula C.sub.10 H.sub.20 O.sub.4 S: C, 50,83%; H, 8.53%. Actual results: C, 51.16%, H, 8.30%.
Using a similar procedure, 1,2-decanediol cyclic sulfite (2.10 g, 10 mmol) was oxidized with sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) (Clorox.RTM., 5% active chlorine; 37 g) catalyzed by RuCl.sub.3.3H.sub.2 O (58 mg, 0.22 mmol) in CCl.sub.4 (23 ml) and CH.sub.3 CN (23 ml) at 0.degree. C. to room temperature. After 40 min., the reaction was worked up as above to give 1,2 decanediol cyclic sulfate as a pale yellow oil in a yield of over 90% (2.24 g, 95%).
EXAMPLE 3
Preparation of (2S*,3S*)-3-(2-Methylphenoxy)-3phenyl-1,2-propanediol cyclic sulfate ##STR13##
Thionyl chloride (0.50 mL, 6.8 mmol) was added to a solution of 3-(2-methylphenoxy)-3-phenyl-1,2-propanediol (1.46 g, 5.66 mmol) in CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2 (25 ml), and the solution was refluxed for 30 min. After removal of solvent, the corresponding 1,2-cyclic sulfite was obtained (1.54 g, 90%). The cyclic sulfite (608 mg, 2.0 mmol) was then dissolved into a CH.sub.3 CN-CCl.sub.4 -H.sub.2 solution (4-4-6 ml) and RuCl.sub.3.3H.sub.2 O (12 mg, 0.044 mmol) and NaIO.sub.4 (856 mg, 4.0 mmol) were added. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 15 min. and then extracted with ether (2.times.60 ml). The combined ethereal solution was washed with water (10 ml), saturated aqueous NaHCO.sub.3 (10 ml), and brine (10 ml). After dried over MgSO.sub.4, the solution was filtered through a pad of Celite and silica gel. After removal of solvent, the crude product was purified by chromatography (20% EtOAc/hexane) to give (2S*, 3S*)-3-(2-methylphenoxy)-3-phenyl-1,2 propane diol cyclic sulfate as a white solid in a yield of 90% (578 mg, 90%).

[b] Yields are isolated and purified yields. All compounds were characterized by IR, .sup.1 HNMR spectroscopy and elemental analysis.
General Procedure
The cyclic sulfate (1.0 equiv.) was dissolved in a solvent (about 0.1-0.5 M) and the nucleophile (1.5-2.0 equiv.) was added at room temperature or 0.degree. C. (for N.sub.3.sup.-). The resulting solution or suspension was then stirred at room temperature until no starting cyclic sulfate was left (the reaction was monitored by TLC). The solvent was then evaporated; ether (less than 5 ml per 1.0 mmol substrate) and H.sub.2 SO.sub.4 (20% solution, less than 5 ml per 1.0 mmol substrate) were added to the flask. The resulting solution was stirred at room temperature for 6-12 hours (heating accelerating the hydrolysis). The solution was then extracted with ether or CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2 and the combined organic phases were washed with H.sub.2, and brine and dried over MgSO.sub.4. After concentration, the crude product was purified by chromatography on silica gel to obtain the desired product.
