A New Synthesis of α-Amino Acid Thioesters by Pummerer Reaction of 3-Substituted-4-sulfinyl-β-sultams
摘要:
alpha-Amino acid thioesters were synthesized by the Pummerer reaction of 3-substituted-4-sulfinyl-beta-sultams with TFAA. The 3-substituted-4-sulfinyl-beta-sultams were prepared from the corresponding beta-sultams by sulfenylation with diphenyl disulfide followed by m-CPBA oxidation. Diastereoselective synthesis of beta-sultams by 1,3-asymmetric induction in [2 + 2] cycloaddition of a sulfene intermediate and chiral imines in solution-phase was studied, and it was found that N-alkylimines gave better diastereoselectivities than N-aralkylimines. The use of imines derived from (R)- and (S)-alpha-methylbenzylamine followed by separation of the major and minor diastereomers gave enantiopure 3-substituted-N-methylbenzyl-beta-sultams. These beta-sultams were then converted to N-methylbenzyl-alpha-amino acid thioesters via sulfenylation and Pummerer rearrangement with high or complete retention of configuration.
