The Chiral Auxiliary N-1-(1′-Naphthyl)ethyl-O-tert-butylhydroxylamine: A Chiral Weinreb Amide Equivalent
摘要:
The chiral auxiliary N-1-(1'-naphthyl)ethyl-O-tert-butylhydroxylamine is readily prepared from N-hydroxyphthalimide in four steps, with resolution giving access to both enantiomers in >98% ee, on a multigram (>25 g) scale. Conversion to a range of N-acyl derivatives, followed by highly diastereoselective alkylation (>= 94% de) gives the corresponding chiral, 2-substituted derivatives as single diastereoisomers (>98% de) after chromatography. Reductive cleavage with LlAlH(4) allows direct access to chiral aldehydes, and treatment with MeLi gives chiral methyl ketones in excellent enantiopurity (>= 94% ee). The auxiliary can be recovered in >98% ee and recycled.

alpha,beta-Unsaturated hydroxamates derived from the 'chiral Weinreb amide' auxiliary (S)-N-1-(1'-naphthyl) ethyl-O-tert-butylhydroxylamine consistently adopt a defined conformation and undergo highly diastereoselective conjugate addition reactions with lithium amide reagents. The configuration of the N-1-(1'-naphthyl)ethyl group dictates the position of the O-tert-butyl group and also the configuration adopted by the pyramidal nitrogen atom via a 'chiral relay' effect. Conjugate addition of lithium amide reagents to these substrates proceeds on the face opposite to both the O-tert-butyl group and nitrogen lone-pair with high levels of diastereoselectivity.
