naturally abundant chiral scaffolds such as α-amino acid esters or amides with widely abundant alcohols, without any racemization, is a demanding transformation that is of central importance for the synthesis of bio-active compounds. Herein a robust and general method was developed for the direct N-alkylation of α-amino acid esters and amides with alcohols. This powerful ruthenium-catalyzed methodology
天然丰富的手性支架(例如α-氨基酸酯或酰胺)与广泛丰富的醇的直接官能化,无需任何外消旋作用,是一个要求很高的转化,对于生物活性化合物的合成至关重要。本文开发了一种稳健且通用的方法,用于 α-氨基酸酯和酰胺与醇的直接N-烷基化。这种强大的钌催化方法是原子经济的、无碱的,并且可以很好地保留立体化学完整性。使用磷酸二苯酯作为添加剂对于显着提高反应活性和产物选择性至关重要。值得注意的是,唯一的副产品是水,两种底物都可能来自可再生资源。
