Practical asymmetric amine nucleophilic approach for the modular construction of protected α-quaternary amino acids.

ABSTRACT: We report the first amine nucleophilic approach for the modular construction of enantioenriched protected α-quaternary amino acids. The key to success is the use of an alcohol solvent, which makes a rationally designed COOMe-bonded Cu-allenylidene electrophilic intermediate stable enough to couple with amine nucleophiles before its decomposition. The reaction features wide functional group tolerance with high enantioselectivity, typically >90% ee, and is amenable to the modification of commercially available bioactive molecules. The resultant protected α-amino acids could be readily converted into a number of precious enantioenriched amines featuring α-hindered tertiary carbon centers, which are otherwise synthetically quite challenging, including those of α-amino aldehyde, peptides or α-vinyl amino ester with >92% ee in excellent yields. This protocol could be utilized for the synthesis of the protected bioactive α-ethylnorvaline in 3 steps, a significant advancement in comparison to an 11-step sequence reported previously.

Construction of a quaternary stereogenic center by asymmetric hydroformylation: a straightforward method to prepare chiral α-quaternary amino acids.

Project description:The construction of chiral quaternary carbon stereocenters has been a long-standing challenge in organic chemistry. Particularly, α-quaternary amino acids that are of high importance in biochemistry still lack a straightforward synthetic method. We here reported a hydroformylation approach to access chiral quaternary stereogenic centers, which has been a long-standing challenge in transition metal catalysis. α,β-Unsaturated carboxylic acid derivatives undergo hydroformylation with a rhodium catalyst to generate an α-quaternary stereocenter under mild conditions. By using this method, a variety of chiral α-quaternary amino acids could be synthesized with satisfactory enantioselectivity. In-depth investigation revealed that the regioselectivity is dramatically influenced by the electronic properties of the substituents attached to the target C[double bond, length as m-dash]C bond. By applying NMR and DFT analyses, the chiral environment of a rhodium/Yanphos complex was depicted, based on which a substrate-catalyst interaction model was proposed.

Practical asymmetric synthesis of ?-hydroxy ?-amino acids via complimentary aldol reactions.

Project description:Orthogonally protected chiral ?-hydroxy-?-amino acids can be accessed in >100 g quantities from readily available starting materials and reagents in 3-4 steps. These chiral synthons contain two adjacent stereocenters along with suitably protected functional groups (O-TBS, N-Boc) for downstream reactivity. Implementation of two existing aldol technologies allows rapid access to all possible stereoisomers of 1. The guiding principles during reaction optimization were reaction scalability and operational efficiency. Conversion of the amino acids to a variety of chiral building blocks in 1-2 steps demonstrates their synthetic utility.

Application of Threonine Aldolases for the Asymmetric Synthesis of ?-Quaternary ?-Amino Acids.

Project description:We report the synthesis of diverse ?-hydroxy-?,?-dialkyl-?-amino acids with perfect stereoselectivity for the ?-quaternary center through the action of l- and d-specific threonine aldolases. A wide variety of aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes were accepted by the enzymes and conversions up to >80?% were obtained. In the case of d-selective threonine aldolase from Pseudomonas sp., generally higher diastereoselectivities were observed. The applicability of the protocol was demonstrated by performing enzymatic reactions on preparative scale. Using the d-threonine aldolase from Pseudomonas sp., (2R,3S)-2-amino-3-(2-fluorophenyl)-3-hydroxy-2-methylpropanoic acid was generated in preparative amounts in one step with a diastereomeric ratio >100 favoring the syn-product. A Birch-type reduction enabled the reductive removal of the ?-hydroxy group from (2S)-2-amino-3-hydroxy-2-methyl-3-phenylpropanoic acid to generate enantiopure l-?-methyl-phenylalanine via a two-step chemo-enzymatic transformation.

Synthesis of quaternary ?-methyl ?-amino acids by asymmetric alkylation of pseudoephenamine alaninamide pivaldimine.

Project description:The utility of pseudoephenamine as a chiral auxiliary for the alkylative construction of quaternary ?-methyl ?-amino acids is demonstrated. The method is notable for the high diastereoselectivities of the alkylation reactions, for its versatility with respect to electrophilic substrate partners, and for its mild hydrolysis conditions, which provide ?-amino acids without salt contaminants. Alternatively, ?-amino esters can be obtained by direct alcoholysis.

Asymmetric Synthesis of Protected Unnatural α-Amino Acids via Enantioconvergent Nickel-Catalyzed Cross-Coupling.

Project description:Interest in unnatural α-amino acids has increased rapidly in recent years in areas ranging from protein design to medicinal chemistry to materials science. Consequently, the development of efficient, versatile, and straightforward methods for their enantioselective synthesis is an important objective in reaction development. In this report, we establish that a chiral catalyst based on nickel, an earth-abundant metal, can achieve the enantioconvergent coupling of readily available racemic alkyl electrophiles with a wide variety of alkylzinc reagents (1:1.1 ratio) to afford protected unnatural α-amino acids in good yield and ee. This cross-coupling, which proceeds under mild conditions and is tolerant of air, moisture, and a broad array of functional groups, complements earlier approaches to the catalytic asymmetric synthesis of this valuable family of molecules. We have applied our new method to the generation of several enantioenriched unnatural α-amino acids that have previously been shown to serve as useful intermediates in the synthesis of bioactive compounds.

Organocatalytic asymmetric formal oxidative coupling for the construction of all-aryl quaternary stereocenters.

Project description:A new catalytic asymmetric formal cross dehydrogenative coupling process for the construction of all-aryl quaternary stereocenters is disclosed, which provides access to rarely explored chiral tetraarylmethanes with excellent enantioselectivity. The suitable oxidation conditions and the hydrogen-bond-based organocatalysis have enabled efficient intermolecular C-C bond formation in an overwhelmingly crowded environment under mild conditions. para-Quinone methides bearing an ortho-directing group serve as the key intermediate. The precise loading of DDQ is critical to the high enantioselectivity. The chiral products have also been demonstrated as promising antiviral agents.

Stereoselective Synthesis of Quaternary Pyrrolidine-2,3-diones and ?-Amino Acids.

Project description:A facile, diastereoselective synthesis of highly substituted pyrrolidine-2,3-diones is reported, along with the one-step conversion of these heterocycles to novel ?-amino acids and further functionalized derivatives. This method involves an unusually mild, one-pot, three-component cyclization/allylation followed by a Claisen rearrangement to provide unusual pyrrolidinone products that are densely functionalized and contain an all-carbon quaternary stereocenter. The reported reaction sequence is operationally simple, exquisitely diastereoselective, and provides gram-scale access to valuable heterocyclic scaffolds and ?-amino acids not readily accessible via existing approaches.

Palladium-catalyzed asymmetric conjugate addition of arylboronic acids to five-, six-, and seven-membered ?-substituted cyclic enones: enantioselective construction of all-carbon quaternary stereocenters.

Project description:The first enantioselective Pd-catalyzed construction of all-carbon quaternary stereocenters via 1,4-addition of arylboronic acids to ?-substituted cyclic enones is reported. Reaction of a wide range of arylboronic acids and cyclic enones using a catalyst prepared from Pd(OCOCF(3))(2) and a chiral pyridinooxazoline ligand yields enantioenriched products bearing benzylic stereocenters. Notably, this transformation is tolerant to air and moisture, providing a practical and operationally simple method of synthesizing enantioenriched all-carbon quaternary stereocenters.
