Aldehyde (II), prepared by ozonolysis of cyclohexene (I), was ketalized with (S,S)-2,4-pentanediol (III) to afford dioxane (IV). Titanium chloride-mediated coupling of acetal (IV) with the ketene acetal (V) afforded diastereoselectively adduct (VI), which was subsequently hydrolyzed to carboxylic acid (VII) by means of trifluoroacetic acid. Removal of the pentanediol moiety to furnish the (R)-alcohol (IX) was accomplished via Jones oxidation of the secondary alcohol (VII) to ketone (VIII), followed by beta-elimination in the presence of piperidinium acetate. Reduction of the free carboxyl group by borane-tetrahydrofuran complex gave diol (X), which was further converted to dimesylate (XI). Disulfide displacement of the mesylate groups provided (+)-lipoic acid isopropyl ester (XII), which was finally hydrolyzed to the title acid using K2CO3 in MeOH/H2O.

Alkylation of the lithio-dianion of propargyl alcohol (XIII) with 6-bromo-1-hexene (XIV), followed by in situ reduction of the resultant disubstituted acetylene with lithium metal gave the allylic alcohol (XV). Asymmetric Sharpless epoxidation of (XV) using tert-butyl hydroperoxide in the presence of L-(+)-diisopropyl tartrate afforded the (S,S)-epoxy alcohol (XVI). This was reduced to the chiral diol (XVII) employing Red-Al® in THF. After formation of the bis-mesylate (XVIII), oxidative cleavage of the terminal double bond by means of NaIO4 in the presence of ruthenium catalyst furnished the carboxylic acid (XIX). The mesylate groups were finally displaced by sodium disulfide to produce the desired cyclic disulfide compound.

An alternative route to (+)-lipoic acid used ethyl 4,6-di-O-acetyl-2,3-dideoxy-alpha-D-erythro-hexopyranoside (XX), prepared from triacetyl-D-glucal, as the chiral starting point. Deacetylation of (XX) with sodium methoxide under Zemplen conditions gave diol (XXI) which, after conventional benzylation, led to the 4,6-di-O-benzyl derivative (XXII). Ring opening of the cyclic acetal (XXII) with propanediol in the presence of boron trifluoride afforded the dithiane derivative (XXIII). The free hydroxyl group of (XXIII) was converted into xanthate (XXIV) by reaction with NaH and CS2, followed by methyl iodide. Reductive cleavage of the xanthate group by means of Bu3SnH and AIBN provided (XXV). Hydrolysis of the thioacetal function with HgO and BF3 provided aldehyde (XXVI). Chain homologation was performed by Wittig reaction of aldehyde (XXVI) with phosphorane (XXVII) to afford the unsaturated ester (XXVIII). Simultaneous double bond hydrogenation and benzyl ether cleavage in the presence of Raney nickel led to dihydroxy ester (XXIX). This was converted to the corresponding dimesylate (XXX), which was further cyclized to disulfide (XXXI) using the in situ generated sodium disulfide as in the precedent Schemes. Finally, basic hydrolysis of the ethyl ester (XXXI) yielded the title carboxylic acid.

A short synthetic strategy utilized the cyclic thioketal (XXXIII), derived from d-menthone (XXXII) and 1,3-propanedithiol, as the chiral template. Stereospecific oxidation of dithiane (XXXIII) employing NaIO4 produced sulfoxide (XXXIV). The carbanion generated from sulfoxide (XXXIV) was stereoselectively alkylated by 5-bromopentanoic acid (XXXV) in the presence of TMEDA to furnish the trans alkylated compound (XXXVI). Finally, acidic hydrolysis of (XXXVI) formed the intermediate mercapto sulfinic acid (XXXVII) which spontaneously cyclized to the desired dithiolane derivative.

A different strategy was based on the enantioselective oxidation of a cyclohexanone derivative by enzymic Baeyer-Villiger reaction. Keto ester (XXXVIII) was protected as the ethylene ketal (XXXIX) and subsequently reduced to alcohol (XL) using LiAlH4. Acetylation of alcohol (XL) to acetate (XLI), followed by acidic ketal hydrolysis afforded cyclohexanone (XLII) (9,10). The racemic ketone (XLII) was then subjected to oxidative cleavage by monooxigenase 2 obtained from Pseudomonas putida to furnish the (R)-lactone (XLIV) along with unreacted (S)-cyclohexanone (XLIII) (9-11). The use of cyclohexanone monooxigenase from Acinetobacter NCIMB 9871 has also been reported for this reaction (12). Methanolysis of lactone (XLIV) in the presence of NaOMe gave rise to the (R)-dihydroxy ester (XLV). Inversion of the configuration of (XLV) was accomplished by Mitsunobu coupling with p-nitrobenzoic acid (XLVI) to produce the (S)-p-nitrobenzoate ester (XLVII). Smooth hydrolysis of ester (XLVII) provided methyl (S)-6,8-dihydroxyoctanoate (XLVIII), which was processed through intermediates (XLIX) and (L), as for the isopropyl (X) (Scheme 29605101a) and ethyl (XXIX) (Scheme 29605103a) homologues, to afford the title compound.

A synthetic route based on the asymmetric reduction of oxo diesters has been reported. Meldrum's acid (LII) was acylated by methyl adipoyl chloride (LI) in the presence of pyridine to produce the intermediate (LIII) which, upon alcoholysis with isobutanol, led to oxo diester (LIV). Enantioselective reduction of (LIV) by means of baker's yeast furnished the (S)-hydroxy diester (LV). Alternatively, the analogous oxo diester (LVI) was prepared by acylation of methyl acetoacetate with methyl adipoyl chloride (LI), followed by deacetylation in the presence of ammonium hydroxide. Then, asymmetric chemical reduction of (LVI) by hydrogenation in the presence of the chiral catalyst Ru2Cl4[(S)-BINAP]2 provided the (S)-hydroxy diester (LVII). Regioselective reduction of either diester (LV) or (LVII) by means of NaBH4 in refluxing THF furnished dihydroxy ester (XLVIII). After conversion of (XLVIII) to the dimesylate (XLIX), displacement with potassium thioacetate afforded the bis(acetylthio) derivative (LVIII), which was further hydrolyzed with KOH to provide dihydrolipoic acid (LIX). In a related procedure, dihydrolipoic acid (LIX) was prepared by reaction of dimesylate (XLIX) with sodium disulfide, followed by reductive treatment with NaBH4 and NaOH. The title cyclic disulfide was then obtained by oxidation of the dithiol (LIX) using oxygen in the presence of FeCl3.

Both enantiomers of racemic 8-chloro-6-hydroxyoctanoic acid (LX) were separated employing either (+)- or (-)-alpha-methylbenzylamine. Esterification of the (R)-(-)-enantiomer with HCl-MeOH provided the chloro hydroxy ester (LXI). Further chlorination of (LXI) with SOCl2 and pyridine proceeded with inversion of configuration at C-6 to furnish the (S)-dichloro derivative (LXII). The cyclic disulfide (L) was then prepared by treatment of chloride (LXII) with sulfur and sodium sulfide in boiling EtOH. Basic hydrolysis of the methyl ester group of (LXII) then afforded (R) alpha lipoic acid. The title compound was also obtained from the (S)-(+)-acid (LXIII). Reaction of hydroxy acid (LXIII) with methanesulfonyl chloride produced the chloro mesylate (LXIV), which was then cyclized to the target disulfide in the presence of sulfur and Na2S.

The reaction of the chiral dibenzoyloxy-dihydropyran (LXV) with H2SO4 and HgSO4 gives the unsaturated aldehyde (LXVI), which is condensed with the phosphorane (LXVII) to yield the hepatdienoic ester (LXVIII). The hydrogenation of (LXVIII) with H2 over Pd/C affords the heptanoic ester (LXIX), which is treated with Ts-Cl and pyridine to provide the tosyloxy derivative (LXX). The cyclization of (LXX) by means of K2CO3 gives the chiral epoxide (LXXI), which is condensed with vinylmagnesium bromide (LXXII) to yield 6(S)-hydroxy-8-nonenoic acid methyl ester (LXXIII). The oxidation of the terminal double bond of (LXXIII) with ozone affords the carbaldehyde (LXXIV), which is reduced with NaBH4 to provide 6(S),8-dihydroxyoctanoic acid methyl ester (XLVIII). The reaction of (XLVIII) with Ms-Cl and pyridine gives the dimesylate (XLIX), which is treated with Na2S2 to yield the lipoic acid methyl ester (L), which is hydrolyzed to the target acid with KOH in H2O.

Diisopropylidene mannitol (I) was first converted into the dibutyltin derivative (II), which was subsequently mono-benzylated to (III). Acetylation of (III) with acetic anhydride in pyridine gave (IV). After acidic hydrolysis of the isopropylidene ketals of (IV), the resultant tetraol (V) was converted into tetramesylate (VI). Reductive elimination in (VI) with Zn and NaI produced diene (VII). The acetate group of (VII) was then hydrolyzed to (VIII) using NaOMe. Intermediate (VIII) was reacted with triethyl orthoacetate in the presence of propionic acid to generate the allyl vinyl ether (IX), which underwent a Claisen rearrangement to the diene-ester (X). Selective hydroboration-oxidation of the terminal double bond of (X) yielded the primary alcohol (XI). Subsequent benzyl group hydrogenolysis in (XI) furnished the target intermediate diol (XII).

Alkylation of the dianion of octyl acetoacetate (XIII) with 4-iodobutyronitrile (XIV) provided the cyano keto ester (XV). Enantiospecific reduction of (XV) utilizing baker's yeast gave rise to the desired (S)-hydroxy ester (XVI) in high enantiomeric excess. Subsequent ester group reduction in (XVI) by means of LiBH4 provided diol (XVII). The target dihydroxy ester (XII) was then obtained by alcoholysis of nitrile (XVII) under acidic conditions.

In a related method, keto ester (XX) was prepared by Claisen condensation of the lithium enolate of octyl acetate (XVIII) with 4-chlorobutanoyl chloride (XIX). Reduction of the beta-keto ester (XX) with baker's yeast gave rise to the (S)-alcohol (XXI). Subsequent ester group reduction in (XXI) with LiBH4 furnished diol (XXII), which was protected as the acetonide (XXIII) upon treatment with 2,2-dimethoxypropane under acidic conditions. Displacement of the chloride of (XXIII) with the sodium salt of diethyl malonate afforded the substituted malonate (XXIV). Decarbethoxylation of malonate (XXIV) to mono-ester (XXV) was accomplished employing NaCN in hot DMSO. The target dihydroxy ester (XII) was then obtained by acidic acetonide (XXV) hydrolysis.

Esterification of diisopropylidene mannitol (I) with benzoyl chloride in pyridine afforded dibenzoate (II). Hydrolysis of the isopropylidene ketals of (II) with aqueous HOAc gave tetraol (III), which was further converted to tetramesylate (IV) on treatment with methanesulfonyl chloride and pyridine. Reductive elimination of the mesylate groups of (IV) using Zn dust and NaI yielded diene (V). The benzoate esters of (V) were then removed by treatment with sodium methoxide. The resultant divinylglycol (VI) was reacted with dibutyltin oxide to produce the tin derivative (VII), which was converted to the target intermediate, themono-benzyl ether (VIII), by treatment with benzyl bromide in hot DMF.

Racemic tetrahydro-2-furylmethanol (I) was converted to tosylate (II), which was further displaced by KCN to yield nitrile (III). Basic hydrolysis of nitrile (III), followed by Fischer esterification of the resultant carboxylic acid (IV) provided ethyl ester (V). Enzymatic resolution of racemic ester (V) by means of the lipase from Candida cylindracea generated a mixture of the (R)-acid (VI) and the unreacted (S)-ester (VII), which were separated by column chromatography. The desired (S) ester (VII) was then reduced to alcohol (VIII) with LiAlH4 in cold Et2O. Regioselective opening of the cyclic ether (VIII) with iodotrimethylsilane in acetone furnished the acetonide of 6-iodo-1,3-hexanediol (IX). Alkylation of benzyl methyl malonate (X) with iodide (IX) provided malonate (XI). Hydrogenolysis of the benzyl ester group of (XI), followed by thermal decarboxylation led to ester (XII). The target dihydroxy ester precursor (XIII) was then obtained by acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of the acetonide function.

Addition of vinylmagnesium bromide to 2-nitrocyclohexanone (XIV) afforded the nitro alcohol (XV). Ring cleavage of (XVI) in the presence of anhydrous CuSO4 absorbed on silica gel gave the nitro ketone (XVI). Nitro group hydrolysis in (XVI) by successive treatment with NaOMe and H2SO4 in MeOH furnished oxo ester (XVII) as the main product. This was enantiospecifically reduced with baker's yeast to yield the (S)-alcohol (XVIII). Selective methyl ether cleavage with tetrabutylammonium iodide and BF3 provided the dihydroxy ester precursor (XIII).

A further procedure for the preparation of the key intermediate (XIII) utilized the chiral starting material (S)-4-benzyloxy-1,2-butanediol (XIX), easily accessible from (S)-malic acid. Inversion of the configuration of (XIX) was accomplished via formation of dimesylate (XX), followed by displacement with potassium acetate in refluxing Ac2O. The resultant diacetate (XXI) was hydrolyzed to the required (R)-diol (XXII) by treatment with K2CO3 in MeOH. Conversion of (XXII) into epoxide (XXIV) was performed through the benzylidene ketal (XXIII), following the reported procedure for the corresponding (S)-enantiomer. Copper(I)-catalyzed addition of 3-butenylmagnesium bromide (XXV) to epoxide (XXIV) furnished alcohol (XXVI), which was further protected as the benzyl ether (XXVII). Hydroboration of olefin (XXVII) with in situ generated disiamylborane, followed by oxidative work-up gave rise to the primary alcohol (XXVIII). This was oxidized with pyridinium dichromate to the carboxylic acid (XXIX), which was further esterified by means of methanolic HCl to afford ester (XXX). Then, catalytic hydrogenolysis of the di(benzyloxy) ester (XXX) yielded the target intermediate dihydroxyester (XIII).

A further procedure utilized the (S)-keto ester (XXXI) as the chiral starting material. Baeyer-Villiger oxidation of cyclohexanone (XXXI) with m-CPBA in the presence of a phosphate buffer at pH 8 provided two regioisomeric chiral lactones (XXXII) and (XXXIII), which were separated by column chromatography. The major isomer (XXXII) was subsequently reduced with LiAlH4 to furnish triol (XXXIV). The 1,3-dihydroxy moiety of (XXXIV) was then protected as the acetonide derivative (XXXV) employing 2,2-dimethoxypropane. The requisite ester (XXXVII) was prepared by stepwise oxidation of the primary alcohol (XXXV) to the aldehyde (XXXVI) using pyridinium dichromate, and then to the corresponding carboxylic acid with m-CPBA, followed by esterification with ethereal diazomethane to (XXXVII). Hydrolysis of the acetonide (XXXVII) by means of p-toluenesulfonic acid in methanol led to the target intermediate, the dihydroxy ester (XIII).

1,6-Hexanediol (I) was protected as the mono-tetrahydropyranyl ether (II), and the free hydroxyl group was subsequently oxidized to aldehyde (III) under Swern conditions. Reformatskii reaction of aldehyde (III) with the organozinc reagent generated from ethyl bromoacetate yielded the racemic hydroxy ester (IV). The requisite (S)-enantiomer (VI) was obtained via oxidation of (IV) to oxo ester (V) using pyridinium chlorochromate, and then asymmetric hydrogenation in the presence of (S)-(-)-2,2'-bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1'-binaphthyl dichlororuthenium complex. Oxo ester (V) was also prepared by SnCl2-catalyzed insertion of ethyl diazoacetate into aldehyde (III). The chiral hydroxy ester (VI) was then reduced to diol (VII) by means of NaBH4-CuSO4. After conversion of (VII) to the corresponding dimesylate (VIII), removal of the tetrahydropyranyl protecting group under acidic conditions gave alcohol (IX). This was sequentially oxidized with PCC to aldehyde, and then with Ag2O to furnish the target dimesylate acid intermediate (X).
