Stereoselective addition reactions of chiral N-benzylidene-p-toluenesulfinamides. Asymmetric syntheses of .beta.- and .gamma.-amino acids
摘要:
Chiral N-benzylidene-p-toluenesulfinamides 2 were prepared by the reaction of benzonitrile with alkyllithium in ether followed by (-)-l-menthyl (S)-p-tolylsulfinate. Treatment of 2 with allylmagnesium bromide in ether at 0-degrees-C gave the adducts (R)-7 with excellent stereoselectivity. Pure chiral sulfinamides 7 were converted into chiral beta- and gamma-amino acids in four and five steps, respectively.
