Enantioselective Chemoenzymatic Synthesis of cis- and trans-2,5-Disubstituted Morpholines
摘要:
A versatile synthesis of enantiomerically pure cis- and trans-2,5-disubstituted morpholines is described. Hydroxynitrile lyase-mediated cyanide addition onto aldehydes provided cyanohydrins in virtually quantitative yield and excellent enantioselectivity. Subsequent formation of diastereomerically pure amino esters via a three-step, one-pot reduction-transimination-reduction sequence followed by reduction and simultaneous protection provided cyclization precursors. Finally, cyclization and SmI2-mediated reductive detosylation completed the synthesis of cis- and trans-2,5-disubstituted morpholines in good yields and excellent diastereoselectivities.
