Stereoselective Syntheses of l-Pipecolic Acid and (2S,3S)-3-Hydroxypipecolic Acid from a Chiral N-Imino-2-phenyl-1,2-dihydropyridine Intermediate
摘要:
Stereoselective syntheses of L-pipecolic acid and (2S,3S)3-hydroxypipecolic acid were achieved from a chiral N-imino-2-phenyl-1,2-dlhydropyridine intermediate. The 3-hydroxy substituent of the latter amino acid was introduced by hetero-Diels-Alder reaction of singlet oxygen with the 1,2-dihydropyridine.
The reduction of the carbon-nitrogen double bond is an important transformation. Here we report our studies on a family of chiral organic catalysts able to promote the stereoselective reduction of ketimines with trichlorosilane. The very cheap, metal-free catalysts were easily prepared in one step from commercially available products, namely a chiral aminoalcohol and picolinic acid derivatives. The catalyst structure was extensively modified in a study that allowed to identify an extremely active species, able to promote the reduction on a large variety of substrates with high efficiency (up to 95% ee). A three component methodology has been also developed, where the enantiomerically enriched amine was isolated after performing the reaction by mixing a ketone and an amine in the presence of trichlorosilane and the catalyst. Its synthetic potentiality was demonstrated by employing the present metal-free catalytic procedure in the preparation of (S)-metolachlor, a potent and widely used herbicide. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd.

Enantioselective Synthesis of 2-Substituted Pyrrolidines via Intramolecular Reductive Amination
Reactions in Organic Synthesis Abstract Catalyzed by the complex generated in situ from iridium and the chiral ferrocene ligand, tert-butyl (4-oxo-4-arylbutyl)carbamate substrates were deprotected and then reductively cyclised to form 2-substituted arylpyrrolidines in a one-pot manner, in which the intramolecular reductive amination was the key step. A range of chiral 2-substituted arylpyrrolidines were
