Synthesis of Cαα-unsymmetrically disubstituted nitroesters by electron transfer C-alkylation of ethyl 2-nitropropionate anion
摘要:
The ethyl 2-nitropropionate anion was shown to react with six reductive alkylating agents to give new C-alpha alpha-unsymmctrically disubstituted nitroesters and in some cases new ethyl monosubstituted methacrylates. The C-alkylation was shown to proceed by the S(RN)1 mechanism which was confirmed by the classical criteria for S(RN)1 reaction: the electron-withdrawing group effect and classical inhibition experiments by dioxygen, p-dinitrobenzene, cupric chloride or TEMPO. For example, ethyl 2-methyl-2-nitro-3-p-nitrophenylpropionate was transformed in the corresponding amino acid. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

Ethyl alpha-halo-alpha-nitropropionate and -butyrate were prepared by alkylating ammonium salts of ethyl bromo- and chloronitroacetates. The addition of alkyl acrylates to alkyl chloronitroacetates or their salts gives dialkyl alpha-chloro-alpha-nitroglutarates. Sodium salts of ethyl alpha-nitro-alpha-sulfo-beta-hydroxypropionate and -butyrate were obtained by the sulfo-dehalogenation of ethyl alpha-chloro-alpha-nitro-beta-hydroxypropionate and -butyrate with sodium dithionite. Esters of a-amino acid hydrochlorides were prepared by the reduction of alkyl alpha-chloro-alpha-nitrocarboxylates. The hydrogenation of alkyl nitrosulfoacetates leads to the corresponding disodium salts of alkyl aminodisulfoacetates and piperazine-2,5-dione.
