Chiral electrophilic “glycinal” equivalents. New synthons for optically active α-amino acids and 4-substituted 2-oxazolidinones
摘要:
The thermal reaction of 3-[(IS)-2-alkoxy-1-apocamphanecarbonyl]-2-oxazolones (21a-c) with dialkyl azodicarboxylates (9) results in exclusive formation of [4 + 2] type cycloadducts (22 and 23) with moderate levels of diastereofacial selection (up to 72% d.e.). The diastereomers thus obtained were readily purified and subsequent treatment with acidic methanol followed by removal of the auxiliary with LiBH4/MeOH (1:2) gave optically pure 4-methoxy-5-hydrazino-2-oxazolidinones (26 and 27), which serve as alpha-aminoaldehyde templates useful for the synthesis of a wide variety of optically active alpha-amino acids as well as 4-alkyl and 4-aryl-2-oxazolidinones.

Versatile routes to chiral 4-substituted 2-oxazolidinones and .ALPHA.-amino acids. Use of chiron, (4+2) cycloadducts of dialkyl azodicarboxylates and 2-oxazolones.
The thermal reaction of 3-[(1S)-2-alkoxyl-1-apocamphanecarbonyl]-2-oxazolones with dialkyl azodicarboxylates results in exclusive formation of [4+2] type cycloadducts with moderate levels of diastereofacial selection, which serve as versatile chiral synthons for a wide variety of 4-alkyl and 4-aryl-2-oxazolidinones as well as α-amino acids.
Enantiomeric [4+2] cycloadduct-based 2-oxazolidinones (3a and4a), newly derived from 9,10-dimethylanthracene and 2-oxazolone, serve as the most effective Evans' auxiliaries so far developed in diastereoselective alkylations and Diels-Alder reactions.
Methoxyselenylation and methoxybromination of chiral 3-acyl-2-oxazolones with PhSeCl/MeOH and Br2/MeC(OMe)3 smoothly proceed to result in highly stereoselective formation of chiral synthons for β-aminoalcohols, but with opposite π-facial selectivity.
Newly introduced enantiomerically pure [4 + 2]cycloadduct-based 2-oxazolidinones which are conformationally fixed by bicyclo[2.2.2] and [2.2.1] ring systems, serve well as exellent chiral auxiliaries in the Evans' asymmetric strategy.
