First Highly Diastereoselective Synthesis of syn α-Methyl β-Fluoroalkyl β-Amino Esters
摘要:
[GRAPHICS]A new two-step approach for the diastereoselective synthesis of the syn alpha-methyl beta-fluoroalkyl beta-amino esters 4 has been developed. This approach is based on the chemical reduction of the fluorinated beta-enamino esters 3, which have been previously obtained from imidoyl chlorides 1 and lithium ester enolates, with Znl(2)/NaBH4 as the reducing agent. The process takes place with high syn diastereoselectivity and good to excellent yields. A metal-chelated six-membered model has been suggested to explain the stereochemical outcome of the reduction reaction.
