Diastereo and enantioselective entry to β-amino esters by hydride reduction of homochiral β-enamino esters.
摘要:
The reduction of homochiral beta-enamino esters 1 with sodium triacetoxyborohydride, which occurs with good diastereo- and enantioselectivity in the beta-amino esters 2, is described. This procedure allows a straightforward preparation of compounds with known biological activity.
The asymmetric Michael-type alkylation of chiral β-enamino esters: critical role of a benzyl ester group in the racemization of adducts
摘要:
In contrast with keto diester (R)-10a bearing a methyl ester group at the quaternary carbon center, the benzyl ester analogue (R)-10a partially racemized during workup, thereby revealing that the nature of the ester group at the quaternary carbon center has a critical role in the rate of racemization of such Michael adducts.

route to β-enamino esters 1, using accessible starting materials, was developed. Lithiated enamines are allowed to react with diethyl carbonate or benzyl chloroformate with the formation of the β-enamino esters 1a or 1b. The reaction is rather general from a wide array of ketimines and aldimines. Products included cyclic β-enamino esters 1aa-ac, very useful for the synthesis of natural products.
An improved method for the preparation of both the enantiopure beta -amino acids is presented. The diastereomer benzyl beta -amino esters, obtained by stereoselective reduction of beta -enamino esters, were separated and hydrogenolyzed to the free enantiopure beta -amino acids.

The reduction of enantiopure beta-enamino esters 1 with sodium triacetoxyborohydride in acetic acid is described. This occurs with good diastereo- and enantioselectivity to yield beta-amino esters 2 and 3 (after hydrogenolysis of the N-chiral group). A model is reported for the origin of the stereoselectivity through an enol ester-diacetoxyborohydride 6, which affords the intramolecular reduction. By choosing the appropriate chiral amine, this procedure allows a straightforward preparation of both the enantiopure beta-amino esters and derivatives with known biological activity, using readily available starting materials and inexpensive reagents and conditions.
