biology. Herein we reported a method to synthesize -amino nitriles, the crucial synthetic precursor to -amino acids. By using a nucleophilic base-complex, generated from TMSCF and CsF, addition of acetonitrile to a series of aromatic imines offered the corresponding -amino nitriles in excellent yields. Moreover, other electron withdrawing group bearing methyl group could be deprotonated to produce a good
-氨基酸是化学和生物学中的重要结构单元。在此,我们报道了一种合成β-氨基腈的方法,β-氨基腈是β-氨基酸的重要合成前体。通过使用由 TMSCF 和 CsF 生成的亲核碱配合物,将乙腈加成到一系列芳香族亚胺中,以优异的产率提供相应的氨基腈。此外,在这种温和的条件下,其他带有甲基的吸电子基团可以去质子化以产生良好的亲核试剂。
