New Expedient Route to Both Enantiomers of Nonproteinogenic α-Amino Acid Derivatives from the Unsaturated 2-Aza-Bicyclo Moiety
摘要:
The influence of the reaction conditions on the catalytic hydrogenation of 2-aza-bicyclo hept-5-ene and oct-5-ene derivatives has been investigated. We found it possible to fully control the extent of allylic vs benzylic C-N hydrogenolysis by simple variations of H-2 pressure and acidity of the reaction medium. The use of the reaction pathways was demonstrated by the selective preparation of four categories of optically active alpha-amino acid derivatives. The strategy was also extended to the synthesis of enantiopure alpha-amino ketones.
