The oxidation of a series of -acetyl amino acid methyl esters with HO catalyzed by a very simple iminopyridine iron(ii) complex 1 easily obtainable by self-assembly of 2-picolylaldehyde, 2-picolylamine, and Fe(OTf) was investigated. Oxidation of protected aliphatic amino acids occurs at the α-C-H bond exclusively (-AcAlaOMe) or in competition with the side-chain functionalization (-AcValOMe and -AcLeuOMe). -AcProOMe is smoothly and cleanly oxidized with high regioselectivity affording exclusively C-5 oxidation products. Remarkably, complex 1 is also able to catalyze the oxidation of the aromatic -AcPheOMe. A marked preference for the aromatic ring hydroxylation over Cα-H and benzylic C-H oxidation was observed, leading to the clean formation of tyrosine and its phenolic isomers.
研究了由一种非常简单的亚氨基吡啶铁(II)配合物1催化的一系列α-乙酰基氨基酸甲酯与HO的氧化反应,该配合物1可通过2-吡啶甲醛、2-吡啶甲胺和Fe(OTf)的自组装轻松获得。受保护的脂肪族氨基酸的氧化仅发生在α-C-H键处(α-乙酰丙氨酸甲酯),或与侧链官能化竞争(α-乙酰缬氨酸甲酯和α-乙酰亮氨酸甲酯)。α-乙酰脯氨酸甲酯能顺利且干净地被氧化,具有高区域选择性,仅生成C-5氧化产物。值得注意的是,配合物1还能够催化芳香族α-乙酰苯丙氨酸甲酯的氧化。观察到对芳香环羟基化的明显偏好超过Cα-H和苄基C-H氧化,从而干净地生成酪氨酸及其酚类异构体。
