Regioselective hydroaminomethylation of 1,1-diaryl-allyl-alcohols: a new access to 4,4-diarylbutylamines
摘要:
Pharmacologically active 4,4-diarylbutylamines like Fluspirilene and 4-amino-1,1-diarylbutan-1-ols like Difenidol were prepared in high yields via rhodium catalysed hydroaminomethylation of 1,1-diaryl-allylalcohols. Conversion of these olefins with carbon monoxide, hydrogen and secondary amines proceeds with complete regioselectivity. This group can easily be removed under acidic and hydrogenating conditions, enabling the transformation of 4-amino-1,1-diarylbutan-1-ols to 4,4-diarylbutylamines in high yields. Thus Fluspirilene was synthesised in 88% yield in four steps starting from commercially available materials. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
