Asymmetric synthesis of ?-allyl-?-aryl ?-amino acids by tandem alkylation/?-allylation of ?-iminoesters.


ABSTRACT: The first asymmetric synthesis of ?-allyl-?-aryl ?-amino acids by means of a three-component coupling of ?-iminoesters, Grignard reagents, and cinnamyl acetate is reported. Notably, the enolate from the tandem process provides a much higher level of reactivity and selectivity than the same enolate generated via direct deprotonation, presumably due to differences in the solvation/aggregation state. A novel method for removal of a homoallylic amine protecting group delivers the free amine congeners. The ?-allyl group offers a means to generate further valuable ?-amino acid structures as exemplified by ring closing metathesis to generate a higher ring homologue of ?-aryl-proline.
