A simple and efficient synthesis to both enantiomers of highly enantiomerically enriched alpha-trifluoromethyl-alpha-(heteroaryl)-glycine derivatives via highly stereoselective aminoalkylation of indoles and pyrroles is described. The triflic acid-catalyzed reaction of enantiomeric 3,3,3-trifluoro-pyruvate-alpha-methylbenzyl imines with indoles and pyrroles and the subsequent Pd-catalyzed hydrogenolysis of the methylbenzyl group provided the products in high yields and excellent enantioselectivities.
描述了一种通过吲哚和吡咯的高度立体选择性氨基烷基化反应,简单高效地合成高对映体富集的α-三氟甲基-α-(杂芳基)-甘氨酸衍生物对映体的方法。对映体3,3,3-三氟丙酮酸-α-甲基苄基亚胺与吲哚和吡咯在三氟甲磺酸催化下反应,随后钯催化甲基苄基的氢解反应,以高收率和优异的对映选择性得到产物。
