Stereoselective Synthesis of N,N‘-Diaryl-2,5-dioxopiperazines from Homochiral or Racemic 2-Bromopropananilides
摘要:
N,N'-Diaryl-2,5-dioxopiperazines 8 and 9, related to the amino acid alanine, are easily obtained by self-cyclocoupling of 2-bromopropananilides 7. The cis-(R,R) or cis-(S,S)/trans-(R,S) distribution is controlled, to varying extents, by starting either from a single enantiomer or racemate and by the promoter, aryl substituent, and solvent. H-1 NMR spectra of the members of six diastereomeric couples and X-ray structures of representative products are reported.
