- Synthesis of chiral, enantiopure allylic amines by the Julia olefination of α-amino esters
-
The four-step conversion of a series of N-Boc-protected L-amino acid methyl esters into enantiopure N-Boc allylamines by a modified Julia olefination is described. Key steps include the reaction of a lithiated phenylalkylsulfone with amino esters, giving chiral β-ketosulfones, and the reductive elimination of related α-acetoxysulfones. The overall transformation takes place under mild conditions, with good yields, and without loss of stereochemical integrity, being in this respect superior to the conventional Julia reaction of α-amino aldehydes.

- Synthesis of the Chiral (8S)-7-Aza-1,3(E),9-decatriene System from Natural α-Amino Acids and Its Intramolecular Diels-Alder Reaction Directed toward Chiral trans-Hydroisoquinolones
-
L-Alanine and L-valine were converted into optically active 7-aza-1,3(E),9-decatrienes containing a (tert-butyldimethylsilyl)oxy group at C(2) and a methyl or isopropyl group at C(8).Intramolecular thermal cycloaddition reactions of these trienes gave optically active trans-nonahydro-6(2H)-isoquinolones.The relatively bulky isopropyl group at C(8) increased the trans selectivity in the ring closure.These results are in contrast with literature reports on ring closure of analogous aza trienes that lack the (tert-butyldimethylsilyl)oxy group at C(2), whichgive predominantly cis-fused rings.
