Abstract

We have reported an efficient and eco-friendly protocol for the protection of various structurally and electronically divergent aryl and aliphatic amines using Cbz-Cl in the presence of polyethylene glycol (PEG)-400 at room temperature. The reaction afforded excellent yields with low as well as high molecular weight PEGs.

Synthetic applications of lithiated N-Boc allylic amines as asymmetric homoenolate equivalents

Lithiation of N-(Boc)-N-(p-methoxyphenyl) allylic amines in the presence of (-)-sparteine provides asymmetric homoenolate equivalents which react with electrophiles to provide highly enantioenriched enecarbamates. Acidic hydrolysis of the enecarbamates can provide the corresponding beta-substituted aldehydes. A synthetic sequence that involves a stereocontrolled intramolecular nitrone-olefin dipolar cycloaddition has been developed for the preparation of enantioenriched 2-formyl-4-phenyl-1-aminocyclopentanes from one beta-allyl-substituted aldehyde. Further manipulations allow access to an enantioenriched beta-lactam. In another synthetic sequence, transmetalation of the lithiated intermediates and reactions with aldehyde electrophiles can be controlled to afford highly enantioenriched anti homoaldol products. Use of an anti aldehyde homoaldol product as the chiral electrophile in an iterative reaction provides a double homoaldol product containing four stereogenic centers with high diastereoselectivity and enantioselectivity. Reaction pathways are proposed to account for the observed products.

A facile one-pot process for the formation of hindered tertiary amines

A simple and convenient method was developed for the preparation of hindered tertiary amines via direct reductive amination of ketones with secondary aryl amines, using trichlorosilane as reducing agent and tetramethylethylenediamine (TMEDA) as organic Lewis base activator. A broad range of ketones were reacted with N-methylaniline to afford the corresponding tertiary amine products in high yield. An open transition model was proposed for the reductive step.
