Asymmetric Synthesis of α-Aryl Amino Acids; Aryne-Mediated Diastereoselective Arylation
摘要:
An aryne-mediated alpha-arylation reaction of Schollkopf's bis-lactim ether is described. Arynes were generated via an ortho-lithiation approach, affording syn-arylated products in up to 94:6 dr with moderate to good yields and excellent regioselectivities. Hydrolysis provided a variety of substituted arylglycines containing a range of functional groups without racemization.
