Formation of Non-Natural ?,?-Disubstituted Amino Esters via Catalytic Michael Addition.


ABSTRACT: The enolate monoanion of amino esters is explored, and the first catalytic Michael addition of ?-amino esters is demonstrated. These studies indicate that the acidity of the ?C-H is the primary factor determining reactivity. Thus, polyfluorophenylglycine amino esters yield novel ?-amino esters in the presence of a catalytic amount of a guanidine-derived base and Michael acceptors. Reactivity requires an acidic N-H, which is accomplished using common protecting groups such as N-Bz, N-Boc, and N-Cbz. Calculations and labeling experiments provide insight into the governing principles in which a key C-to-N proton transfer occurs, resulting in an expansion of the scope to include a number of natural amino esters. The study culminates with a late-stage functionalization of peptidic ?-secretase inhibitor, DAPT.
