A study on the induction of stereoselectivity in the Strecker synthesis of basic amino acid-derived α-amino nitriles
摘要:
Diverse basic amino acid-derived alpha-amino nitriles have been synthesized via a modified Strecker reaction, using TMSCN as the cyanide source. It has been found that this synthesis is a slow thermodynamically controlled reaction, where it was difficult to induce stereocontrol. Moderate selectivity was induced by thermodynamic control of the reaction in MeOH. The absolute configuration at the stereogenic center generated was assigned by chemical correlation with 2-oxopiperazine derivatives. (c) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

An efficient and environmentally friendly methodology for the solvent-free synthesis of alpha-amino nitrile derived ureas from alpha-amino acid based amino nitriles has been developed. At room temperature no epimerization was observed in the resulting ureas, but under microwave heating, epimerization occurred at the chiral center bearing the cyano group.
