- Hydrogen-Borrowing Alkylation of 1,2-Amino Alcohols in the Synthesis of Enantioenriched γ-Aminobutyric Acids
-
For the first time we have been able to employ enantiopure 1,2-amino alcohols derived from abundant amino acids in C?C bond-forming hydrogen-borrowing alkylation reactions. These reactions are facilitated by the use of the aryl ketone Ph*COMe. Racemisation of the amine stereocentre during alkylation can be prevented by the use of sub-stoichiometric base and protection of the nitrogen with a sterically hindered triphenylmethane (trityl) or benzyl group. The Ph* and trityl groups are readily cleaved in one pot to give γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) products as their HCl salts without further purification. Both steps may be performed in sequence without isolation of the hydrogen-borrowing intermediate, removing the need for column chromatography.

Optically active 4-substituted tetrahydroisoquinolines were synthesized via intramolecular Friedel-Crafts (FC) reactions of aziridinium ions in a highly regio- and stereoselective manner. Control experiments suggest the formation and ring-opening of aziri

- Parallel kinetic resolution of acyclic γ-amino-α,β- unsaturated esters: Application to the asymmetric synthesis of 4-aminopyrrolidin-2-ones
-
Conjugate addition of a 50:50 pseudoenantiomeric mixture of lithium (R)-N-benzyl-N-(α-methylbenzyl)amide and lithium (S)-N-3,4- dimethoxybenzyl-N-(α-methylbenzyl)amide to a range of racemic acyclic γ-amino-α,β-unsaturated esters (derived from the corresponding α-amino acids) effects their efficient parallel kinetic resolution, allowing the preparation of enantiopure β,γ-diamino esters. The β,γ-diamino ester products of these reactions are readily converted into the corresponding substituted 4-aminopyrrolidin-2-ones via N-debenzylation and cyclization.

- 4,5-Dialkylsubstituted 2-imino-1,3-thiazolidine derivatives as potent inducible nitric oxide synthase inhibitors
-
In the course of our search for selective iNOS inhibitors, we have previously reported that 2-imino-1,3-oxazolidine derivatives (1) and 2-aminothiazole derivatives (2) are selective iNOS inhibitors. In order to find more potent iNOS inhibitors, we focused
