Organocatalytic Synthesis of β-Alkylaspartates via β-Lactone Ring Opening
摘要:
[GRAPHICS]Cinchona alkaloid-catalyzed reaction of ethyl glyoxylate with substituted ketenes, formed in situ, gives disubstituted beta-lactones in moderate yield and high enantiomeric excess. Subsequent azide ring opening, reduction, and ester hydrolysis allows access to chiral beta-alkyl aspartates.
