Unusual nonchelation controlled allylation of a N -monoprotected α-amino aldehyde: stereoselective entry to nonracemic trifluoromethyl dipeptide isosteres
摘要:
An efficient synthesis of the non-racemic (66-68% e.e.) homoallylic beta -trifluoromethyl beta -amino alcohol (2S,3R)-9, a key intermediate in the synthesis of trifluoromethylated dipeptide isosteres and oligopeptides, was developed starting from N-Cbz-trifluoropyruvaldehyde-N,S-ketal (R)-1a. The correct syn-stereochemistry was achieved by combining two moderately stereoselective steps: (1) addition of allylmagnesium chloride to (R)-1a, occurring with unusual nonchelation control; (2) reductive: desulfenylation of the phenylacetate 6 with NaBH4/pyridine.
