A useful and efficient method of preparing an alkylated thiazoline carboxylic acid, or a derivative thereof, comprises coupling a substituted aryl nitrile such as, for example, 2,4-dimethoxybenzonitrile or 4-methoxybenzonitrile, with a cysteine ester to form a substituted thiazoline carboxylic acid ester; optionally hydrolyzing the substituted thiazoline carboxylic acid ester to form a substituted thiazoline carboxylic acid; optionally, protecting the carboxyl group; alkylating the thiazoline ring at the 4-carbon position, as indicated in Structural Formula (I), with a compound of the formula R
1
—L, wherein R
1
is as defined above and L is a leaving group, in the presence of a phase transfer catalyst; and, optionally, deprotecting the carboxyl group.
In one embodiment of the present invention, a cinchona-alkaloid derived phase transfer catalyst is used to alkylate a protected substituted thiazoline carboxylic acid.
一种制备烷基化噻唑啉羧酸或其衍生物的有用且高效方法包括:将取代芳基腈(例如2,4-二甲氧基苯腈或4-甲氧基苯腈)与半胱氨酸酯偶合形成取代噻唑啉羧酸酯;可选择水解取代噻唑啉羧酸酯形成取代噻唑啉羧酸;可选择保护羧基;在相转移催化剂存在下,用式R1-L的化合物烷基化噻唑啉环的4-碳位,如结构式(I)所示,其中R1如上所定义,L是一个离去基团;可选择去保护羧基。在本发明的一种实施例中,使用奎宁生物碱衍生的相转移催化剂烷基化保护的取代噻唑啉羧酸。
