A facile chemoenzymatic approach to chiral non-racemic β-alkyl-γ-amino acids and 2-alkylsuccinic acids. A concise synthesis of (S)-(+)-Pregabalin
摘要:
Both enantiomerically pure antipodes of GABA analogues were prepared as hydrochloride salts, by enzymatic kinetic resolution of their precursors ethyl 2-(nitromethyl)alkanoates. These latter compounds can be easily transformed into enantiomerically pure 2-alkylsuccinic acids by a Nef reaction followed by oxidation. Interestingly, this reaction was particularly easy for the neopentyl derivative (S)-(+)-7d, which underwent conversion into its corresponding succinic acid derivative (S)-(-)-8d in buffered solution. The absolute configurations of the main Compounds of interest involved are given, together with their CD spectra. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
Steric and Electronic Influences on the Diastereoselectivity of the Rh2(OAc)4-Catalyzed C−H Insertion in Chiral Ester Diazoanilides: Synthesis of Chiral, Nonracemic 4-Substituted 2-Pyrrolidinones
摘要:
A series of N-substituted N-(4-methoxyphenyl)-alpha-(alkoxycarbonyl)-alpha-diazoacetanilides, 10 and ent-10, wherein the alkoxy unit is a chiral auxiliary group [(-)-7 or (+)-8)], was prepared. The Rh-2(OAc)(4)-catalyzed intramolecular C-H insertion reaction of 10 and ent-10, under optimized reaction conditions, was investigated as a route for the preparation of chiral, nonracemic 4-substituted 2-pyrrolidinones. The cyclization reaction led only to 2-pyrrolidinone and 2-azetidinone products; the former products were obtained as major and, in a few cases, as exclusive products. The type and nature of the N-substituent in 10 or ent-10 was found to govern the diastereoselectivity of the reaction. With N-alkyl groups, steric effects play an important role in determining the diastereoselectivity of the reaction. However, with N-arylethyl substituents, electronic effects transmitted by the aryl substituents influenced the diastereoselectivity of the C-H insertion reaction. Specifically, electron-donating substituents were found to markedly attenuate the diastereoselectivity of the reaction. The diastereoselectivity of the reaction ranged from moderate to high (37-98%). A transition-state model to explain the observed diastereoselectivity is provided. The synthetic utility of the method is demonstrated by the stereoselective synthesis of the medicinally important, unnatural amino acid trans-4-cyclohexyl-L-proline 23.

Conjugate additions of RCuCNLi to the chiral alpha,beta-unsaturated lactam 4 gives almost exclusive exo addition-a reversal in stereochemistry when cuprates were added to chiral lactam 1. The lactams 5 were transformed into 4-substituted pyrrolidinones 8 via a three-step sequence which involved decarbalkoxylation, silane reduction and metal-ammonia benzylamine cleavage. The chemical yields as well as the enantiomeric purity were very high for this process. As an example of the usefulness of this scheme, the antidepressant (-)-Rolipram was prepared in good overall yield. Furthermore, the bicyclic lactams 6 were readily transformed, using alane as the reducing agent, to 3-substituted pyrrolidines 11. Absolute configurations of 8 and 11 were confirmed by comparison with literature assignments which also gave strong support to the facial addition of the cuprates to 4.
