Synthesis of both syn and anti diastereoisomers of Boc-dolaproine from (S)-proline through DKR using ruthenium-catalyzed hydrogenation: a dramatic role of N-protecting groups
摘要:
The natural (2R,3R)-Boc-dolaproine and its unnatural (2S,3S) diastereoisomer were synthesized involving as key transformation the Ru(II)-promoted hydrogenation of the beta-keto-alpha-methyl ester derived from (S)-N-Boc-proline. Interestingly, the asymmetric hydrogenation of this beta-keto ester N-protected as an amine hydrochloride salt, provided the corresponding anti (2S,3R)- and (2R,3S)-beta-hydroxy-alpha-methyl esters with significant level of selectivities through dynamic kinetic resolution.

Stereoselective Synthesis of iso-Dolaproine via Dynamic Kinetic Resolution
摘要:
[GRAPHCIS]An efficient multigram-scale synthesis of optically pure Boc-(2S,3R,4S)-iso-dolaproine is reported using dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR), The catalytic asymmetric hydrogenation of ethyl (4S)-3-(2 ' -pyrrolidinyl)-3-oxo-2-methyl propanoate hydrochloride using in situ generated Ru[(S)MeO-BIPHEP]Br-2 catalyst affords the anti beta -hydroxy alpha -methyl ester quantitatively, The two new stereogenic centers are simultaneously controlled with high diastereoselectivity.
