Rh-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of γ-phthalimido-substituted α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acid esters: An efficient enantioselective synthesis of β-aryl-γ-amino acids
(Chemical Equation Presented) A series of chiral β-aryl-γ-amino acid ester derivatives were synthesized in high enantioselectivities (93-97% ee) via the Rh-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of γ-phthalimido-α, β-unsaturated carboxylic acid esters using highly modular chiral BoPhoz-type phosphine-aminophosphine ligands. The method has been applied successfully to the synthesis of several chiral pharmaceuticals including (R)-baclofen and (R)-rolipram with high enantioselectivities.
Co-catalyzed reductive cyclization of azido and cyano substituted α,β-unsaturated esters with NaBH4: enantioselective synthesis of (R)-baclofen and (R)-rolipram
Sodium borohydride in combination with a catalytic amount of CoCl2 has been found to be an excellent catalytic system in reductive cyclizations of suitably substituted azido and cyano groups of α,β-unsaturated esters to afford γ and δ-lactams in high yields. The process has been demonstrated for the enantioselective synthesis of (R)-baclofen, (R)-rolipram, and (R)-4-fluorophenylpiperidinone, a key intermediate for (-)-paroxetine.
