Abstract

A synthetic strategy toward the glutarimide-derived metabolite of thalidomide, 5′-hydroxythalidomide (5′-OH THD, 2) was developed which utilizes aspartic acid as a "chiral pool"-type starting material. The synthesis incorporates a Henry reaction as the key carbon-carbon bond-forming step followed by a tandem reduction-cyclization of the intermediate nitroalcohol in forming the heterocyclic core of 5′-OH THD.
