One-pot diastereoselective synthesis of α-aminonitriles from aldehydes, chiral amines, and trimethylsilyl cyanide under solvent-free conditions
摘要:
Treatment of aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes with chiral amines and trimethylsilyl cyanide in the absence or in the presence of Lewis acids (including lithium perchlorate) under solvent-free conditions afforded the corresponding alpha-aminonitriles in good yields and with a diastereoselectivity of 68 to 86%.
Chemoselective and stereoselective synthesis of gem-difluoro-β-aminoesters or gem-difluoro-β-lactams from ethylbromodifluoroacetate and imines during Reformatsky reaction
摘要:
The chemoselective and stereoselective synthesis of gem-difluoro-beta-amiinoesters or genz-difluoro-beta-lactams was investigated from ethylbromodifluoroacetate and imines during Reformatsky reaction. Influence of various reaction parameters, such as nature of the amine part, nature of the chiral auxiliary, was evaluated. High levels of stereoselectivity (up to 98%) were obtained for gem-difluoro-beta-aminoesters and gem-difluoro-beta-lactams using either (R)-phenylglycinol or (R)-methoxyphenylglycinol.
