enantioselective synthesis of the bioactive (S)-N-(5-chlorothiophene-2-sulfonyl)-β,β-diethylalaninol (1), a Notch-1-sparing γ-secretase inhibitor metabolite (with EC50 = 28 nM) effective in reduction of Aβ production in vivo, has been realized starting from readily available 3-pentanone. The key steps of the synthesis are proline-catalyzed α-aminooxylation and α-amination of aldehyde; the latter contributing
A high-yielding enantioselective synthesis of the bioactive (S)—N-(5-chlorothiophene-2-sulfonyl)- β,β-diethylalaniol (7.b.2), a Notch-1-sparing γ-secretase inhibitor metabolite (with EC
50
=28 nM) effective in reduction of Aβ production in vivo, has been realized starting from readily available 3-pentanone. The key steps of the synthesis are proline-catalyzed α-aminooxylation and α-amination of aldehyde; the latter contributing an overall yield of 50-75% and 90-99% enantiomeric excess.
