A novel and convenient method for the stereoselective synthesis of d-biotin 1 starting from the commercially available cis-1,3-dibenzyl-2- imidazolidone-4,5-dicarboxylic acid 2 has been developed. The key features of this synthesis include the enantioselective reduction of a meso-cyclic imide, mediated by a chiral oxazborolidine catalyst, derived from (1S,2S)-(+)-threo-1- (4-nitrophenyl)-2-amino-1,3-propanediol and the direct introduction of a C 5 side chain to the (3aS,6aR)-thiolactone through a modified di-Grignard reaction. Enantioselectivities of 98% in the oxazborolidine- catalyzed asymmetric reduction process have been achieved.

An efficient and highly enantioselective synthesis of d-biotin from the known cis-1,3-dibenzyl-2-imidazolidone-4,5-dicarboxylic acid (5) was accomplished in 48% overall yield. The key reactions in the sequence involve the catalytic enantioselective reduction of meso-cyclic imide 6 using polymer-supported chiral oxazoborolidine, derived from (S)-α,α -diphenylprolinol and polymer-bound sulfonyl chloride, and the installation of the C5 side chain at C4 in the thiolactone 9 via a Ni/C-catalyzed Fukuyama coupling reaction.
