Palladium-Catalyzed Decarboxylative Asymmetric Allylic Alkylation of 1,4-Diazepan-5-ones.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: We report the palladium-catalyzed asymmetric allylic alkylation of 1,4-diazepan-5-ones. This reaction proceeds smoothly to give gem-disubstituted diazepanone heterocycles bearing various functional groups in up to >99% yield and up to 95% ee. An electron-rich p-anisoyl lactam protecting group and the use of a nonpolar solvent proved crucial to obtaining high enantioselectivity in most cases. Additionally, we demonstrate the use of our methodology in the synthesis of a gem-disubstituted analogue of the FDA-approved anti-insomnia drug suvorexant.
