Enantiomerically Pure Highly Functionalized α-Amino Ketones from the Reaction of Chiral Cyclic N-(9-Phenylfluoren-9-yl) α-Amido Esters with Organolithium Reagents
摘要:
The reaction of methyl N-(9-phenylfluoren-9-yl)pyroglutamate with several organolithium reagents afforded the corresponding ketones in excellent yields and with complete retention of enantiomeric purity. The success of this transformation is due to the unusual stability of the tetrahedral intermediates 5, which stems from two factors: the electron-withdrawing effect of the amide nitrogen and the Lithium complexing ability of the fluorenyl ring of the 9-phenylfluoren-9-yl group, This ester-to-ketone transformation was also successfully applied to oxazolidinone 9 and imidazolidinone 20 and provided a ketone (21b) that was ultimately transformed inter the urea-lactam 26 which incorporates the bicyclic core of streptolidine lactam, a component of the streptrothricin antibiotics.

We have developed efficient and stereoselective preparations of enantiomerically pure (3R)- and (3S)-N-Pf-3-hydroxy- and N-Pf-3-aminoaspartates by reaction of N-Pf-aspartate enolates with electrophilic hydroxylating or aminating reagents. The stereoselectivity of the hydroxylation and amination reactions was shown to be dependent on the structure of the enolate (which is strongly affected by the presence of strong metal complexing agents) and whether the electrophile is able to complex the enolate counterion in the transition state of the reaction. We have also developed a regioselective preparation of enantiomerically pure N-Pf-3-hydroxy-3-methylaspartates, albeit with only modest stereoselectivity.
