LIGAND-CONTROLLED C(SP3)-H ARYLATION AND OLEFINATION IN SYNTHESIS OF UNNATURAL CHIRAL ALPHA AMINO ACIDS

Page/Page column 146, (2015/10/05)
The use of ligands to tune the reactivity and selectivity of transition metal-catalysts for C(-sp3)-H bond functionalization is a central challenge in synthetic organic chemistry. Herein, we report a rare example of catalyst-controlled C(sp3)-H arylation using pyridine and quinoline derivatives: the former promotes exclusive monoarylation, whereas the latter activates the catalyst further to achieve diarylation. Successive application of these ligands enables the sequential diarylation of a methyl group in an alanine derivative with two different aryl iodides, affording a wide range of β-Ar-p-Ar ' -cc-amino acids with excellent levels of diastereoselectivity (d.r. > 20:1). Both configurations of the β-chiral center can be accessed by choosing the order in which the aryl groups are installed. The use of a quinoline derivative as a ligand also enables C(sp3)-H olefination of a protected alanine.

Some new chirally pure 2,5-substituted diketopiperazines were synthesized starting from 2-methoxybenzyl alcohol. This multistep synthesis proceeds through the enzymatic synthesis of chirally pure amino acids, protection and dipeptide coupling, cyclization of dipeptide ester formates, and nitration of the resulting diketopiperazines.
