Stereoselective deuterium-labelling of diastereotopic methyl and methylene protons of L-leucine
摘要:
An asymmetric synthesis of regio-and stereoselectively deuterium-labelled L-leucine was examined using 4-hydoxy-L-poline as a chiral template. An enol triflate of 4-oxoproline prepared from 4-hydroxyproline was effectively methylated by a Gilman reagent to afford a 4-methyl-3,4-dehydroproline derivative. Then, a catalytic deuteration of the dehydroproline followed by RuO4-oxidation gave a deuterated 4-methylpyroglutamic acid derivative that could easily be converted to (2S,3S,4R)-leucine-3,4,5,5-d(5) via a base-promoted ring opening and a reductive deuteration of the terminal carboxyl moiety. This strategy wits also applied to the stereoselective synthesis of (2S,3S,4S)-[3,4,5,5,5-D-5]leucine. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
