A reasonably stereospecific multistep conversion of Boc-protected α-amino acids to Phth-protected β3-amino acids
摘要:
A method for the synthesis of beta(3)-amino acids starting from alpha-amino acids is described. This conversion can be effected by an eight-step procedure which involves the transformation of the carboxylic group into an alkyne followed by a selenium-mediated conversion of the carbon-carbon triple bond to a Se-phenyl selenocarboxylate intermediate. The reactive Se-phenyl selenocarboxylate intermediates can be trapped with water, alcohols or the amine of an amino acid derivative to give beta(3)-amino acids, beta(3)-amino esters or mixed peptides, respectively. The whole transformations of the carboxylic group into an alkyne and of the alkyne group into beta(3)-amino acids may not require purification of the intermediate products but a workup and isolation procedure of crude materials.

A direct oxidative radical decarboxylative cyanomethylation of carboxylic acids is described using 3-azido-2-methylbut-3-en-2-ol as the carbon-centered radical acceptor. The transformation is applicable to structurally diverse α-amino acids, α-oxy acids, α-keto acids, pentofuranuronic acids, and hexopyranuronic acids. The mechanistic investigations suggest that a radical process is involved in the
