Enantioselective organocatalytic aminomethylation of aldehydes: a role for ionic interactions and efficient access to beta2-amino acids.


ABSTRACT: Organocatalytic Mannich addition of aldehydes to a formaldehyde-derived iminium species catalyzed by proline-derived chiral pyrrolidines provides beta-amino aldehydes with >/=90% ee. Mechanistic analysis of the proline-catalyzed reactions suggests that non-hydrogen-bonded ionic interactions at the Mannich reaction transition state can influence stereochemical outcome. The beta-amino aldehydes from our process bear a substituent adjacent to the carbonyl and can be efficiently converted to protected beta2-amino acids, which are important building blocks for beta-peptide foldamers that display useful biological activities.
