Enantioselective Synthesis of ?-Allyl Amino Esters via Hydrogen-Bond-Donor Catalysis.


ABSTRACT: We report a chiral-squaramide-catalyzed enantio- and diastereoselective synthesis of ?-allyl amino esters. The optimized protocol provides access to N-carbamoyl-protected amino esters via nucleophilic allylation of readily accessible ?-chloro glycinates. A variety of useful ?-allyl amino esters were prepared, including crotylated products bearing vicinal stereocenters that are inaccessible through enolate alkylation, with high enantioselectivity (up to 97% ee) and diastereoselectivity (>10:1). The reactions display first-order kinetic dependence on both the ?-chloro glycinate and the nucleophile, consistent with rate-limiting C-C bond formation. Computational analysis of the uncatalyzed reaction predicts an energetically inaccessible iminium intermediate, and a lower energy concerted SN2 mechanism.
