Diastereoselective Pictet–Spengler condensation of tryptophan with α-amino aldehydes as chiral carbonyl components
摘要:
The Pictet-Spengler reaction of Trp with alpha-amino aldehydes derived from L and D-amino acids was studied in terms of double stereodifferentiation. The results observed for D-amino aldehydes represent 'matched' situation (one diastereoisomer was formed) whereas with L-amino aldehydes 'mismatched' (two diastereoisomers were formed). The conformation of newly formed six-membered ring was analyzed. It was found that stable conformers were different for cis and trans isomers. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
