Abstract
Herein, we describe a Cinchona-aminocatalyzed enantioselective α-hydrazination of an α-formyl amide for the production of protected quaternized serines as tertiary amides with ee’s of generally >98% and ≤99% yields. The proposed TS model supported by density functional theory calculations involves a quinuclidinium ion Brønsted acid-assisted delivery of DtBAD, which occurs from the Re face of an H-bonded enaminone when using a 9S-cinchonamine catalyst, resulting in a hydrazide with the R-configuration as determined by X-ray analysis.
期刊介绍:
Organic Letters invites original reports of fundamental research in all branches of the theory and practice of organic, physical organic, organometallic,medicinal, and bioorganic chemistry. Organic Letters provides rapid disclosure of the key elements of significant studies that are of interest to a large portion of the organic community. In selecting manuscripts for publication, the Editors place emphasis on the originality, quality and wide interest of the work. Authors should provide enough background information to place the new disclosure in context and to justify the rapid publication format. Back-to-back Letters will be considered. Full details should be reserved for an Article, which should appear in due course.
