Asymmetric Synthesis XXVIII: Novel Chiral Aminophosphine Phosphinite Ligand and Its Application in Homogenous Catalytic Asymmetric Hydrogenation of Dehydroamino Acid Derivatives
Aminophosphine Phosphinites Derived from Chiral 1,2-Diphenyl-2-aminoethanols: Synthesis and Application in Rhodium-Catalyzed Asymmetric Hydrogenation of Dehydroamino Acid Derivatives
A series of chiral aminophosphine phosphinites DPAMPPs was synthesized from optically active 1,2-diphenyl-2-aminoethanols. The erythro-DPAMPPs were found to serve as excellent ligands for rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of dehydroaminoacid derivatives. For an array of dehydroaminoacid precursors, remarkably high enantioselectivity (up to 98.4% e.e.) and reactivity (the ratio of substrate/catalyst
21 (Z)-alpha-N-benzoylamino-beta-arylacrylic acids and their esters were prepared by known procedures and hydrogenated to the corresponding optically active alpha-benzoyl-beta-arylalanine derivatives with optical yields in the range of 82-95% ee using the cationic rhodium complex of ''PROPRAPHOS'' as the chiral catalyst No electronical influences of the substituents at the aryl moiety on the enantioselectivity were observed but a sterical one, proved by X-ray crystallographic analysis and computer-aided modellings. Deacylation of the hydrogenated spezies produced the hydrochlorides of the 3-arylalanines attended by a partial racemisation In this case the hydrogenation of urethane type protected dehydroaminoacid derivatives seems to be the alternative.
