SN1-Type Substitution Reactions ofN-Protected β-Hydroxytyrosine Esters: Stereoselective Synthesis of β-Aryl and β-Alkyltyrosines
摘要:
AbstractThe title compounds were prepared by aldol reaction of anisaldehyde and the respective N,N‐dibenzyl glycinates. Deprotection of the nitrogen atom with Pearlman’s catalyst delivered the unprotected β‐hydroxytyrosine esters, which were further N‐protected as N,N‐phthaloyl (Phth) and N‐fluorenylmethylcarbonyloxy (Fmoc) derivatives. The Friedel–Crafts reaction with various arenes was studied employing these alcohols as electrophiles. It turned out that the facial diastereoselectivitiy depends on the nitrogen protecting group and on the ester group. The unprotected substrates (NH2) gave preferentially syn‐products but the anti‐selectivity increased when going from NHFmoc over NPhth to NBn2. If the ester substituent was varied the syn‐preference increased in the order Me <Et <iPr. The reactions were shown to be fully stereoconvergent and proceeded under kinetic product control. A model is suggested to explain the facial diastereoselectivity based on a conformationally locked benzylic cation intermediate. The reactions are preparatively useful for the N‐unprotected isopropyl ester, which gave Friedel–Crafts alkylation products with good syn‐selectivity (anti/syn=21:79 to 7:93), and for the N,N‐dibenzyl‐protected methyl ester, which led preferentially to anti‐products (anti/syn=80:20 to >95:5). Upon acetylation of the latter compound to the respective acetate, Bi(OTf)3‐catalyzed alkylation reactions became possible, in which silyl enol ethers served as nucleophiles. The respective alkylation products were obtained in high yield and with excellent anti‐selectivitiy (anti/syn≥95:5).

The one-step aza-Darzens reaction of sulfinimines 2 with lithium alpha-bromoenolates readily affords diversely substituted cis and trans N-sulfinylaziridine 2-carboxylate esters 3 and 7 in good yield and excellent diastereoselectivity. Higher yields, but lower de's, result when a mixture of the alpha-bromo ester and 2 are treated with base. The N-sulfinyl group is transformed, nearly quantitatively, without ring opening, into the N-tosyl activating group by oxidation with m-CPBA. Selective removal of the N-sulfinyl group in aziridines 3a and 3h with TFA/H2O affords VI-aziridines 21 which are difficult to prepared by other means. However, C(3) activated azirines such as 3b undergo ring-opening under these conditions. Alternatively, the N-sulfinyl group, even in C(3)-activated aziridines, was selectively and efficiently removed by treatment of the aziridine with 2 equiv of MeMgBr.
