A New Route to the Synthesis of Amino Acids through the Mercury Cyclization of Chiral Amidals

By means of the mercury cyclization of the unsaturated amidals 3a-e, obtained from the reaction of 1,3,5-tris-hexahydrotriazine (1) and α,β-unsaturated acyl chlorides, diastereomeric mixtures of imidazolidin-4-ones 5-8 and perihydropyrimidin-4-ones 9-10 have been synthesized and easily separated by flash chromatography.The subsequent hydrolysis under acid conditions of the separated heterocycles affords respectively D or L α- and β-amino acids.The regiochemistry of the cyclization has been studied, depending on the substituents of the double bond.Furthermore the absolute configuration of the newly introduced stereogenic center has been attributed on the basis of the 1H NMR spectra of the heterocycles.

Synthesis of L and D α-amino acids from chiral amidals

A new synthesis of D- and L-alanine is described, by means of the mercury cyclisation of the chiral amidal obtained from the reaction of 1,3,5-tri-(S)-phenylethylhexahydrotriazine and acryloyl chloride.
