One-pot synthesis of enantiomerically pure N-protected allylic amines from N-protected α-amino esters

چکیده
An improved protocol for the synthesis of enantiomerically pure allylic amines is reported. N-Protected α-amino esters derived from natural amino acids were submitted to a one-pot tandem reduction-olefination process. The sequential reduction with DIBAL-H at -78 °C and subsequent in situ addition of organophosphorus reagents yielded the corresponding allylic amines without the need to isolate the intermediate aldehyde. This circumvents the problem of instability of the aldehydes. The method tolerates well both Wittig and Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons organophosphorus reagents. A better Z-(dia)stereoselectivity was observed when compared to the previous one-pot method. The (dia)stereoselectivity of the process was affected neither by the reaction solvent nor by the amount of DIBAL-H employed. The method is compatible with the presence of free hydroxy groups as shown with serine and threonine derivatives.

Synthesis of Chiral, Enantiopure Allylic Amines by the Julia Olefination of α-Amino Esters.
The four-step conversion of a series of N-Boc-protected l-amino acid methyl esters into enantiopure N-Boc allylamines by a modified Julia olefination is described. Key steps include the reaction of a lithiated phenylalkylsulfone with amino esters, giving chiral β-ketosulfones, and the reductive elimination of related α-acetoxysulfones. The overall transformation takes place under mild condition...

The development of the first highly active enantioselective catalyst for the aza-Claisen rearrangement of Z-configured allylic trifluoroacetimidates generating valuable almost enantiopure protected allylic amines is described. Usually Z-configured allylic imidates react significantly slower than their E-configured counterparts, but in the present study the opposite effect was observed. Z-Config...
متن کاملA solid-phase, library synthesis of natural-product-like derivatives from an enantiomerically pure tetrahydroquinoline scaffold.
With the goal of developing a library synthesis of tetrahydroquinoline-derived natural-product-like small molecules, a practical synthesis of enantiomerically pure tetrahydroquinoline scaffold was achieved. An asymmetric aminohydroxylation reaction was the key step in this strategy. This scaffold was further immobilized onto the solid support for the library generation. The library was obtained...

An improved synthesis of a family of amino acids that contain ω-aminoalkyl groups and of a new family containing ω-carboxyalkyl groups linked to the R-amine is described. The synthesis was performed by alkylation of suitably monoprotected alkylenediamines and protected ω-amino acids with triflates of R-hydroxy acid esters. The reaction proceeded with inversion of configuration yielding opticall...
