Treatment of N,N-dibenzylamino alcohols with sulfonyl chloride leads to rearranged beta-chloro amines, precursors to beta-amino acids, and not to tetrahydroisoquinolines.

[reaction: see text] Very recently, the unexpected formation of 3-substituted 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolines starting from N,N-dibenzyl-protected beta-amino alcohols was reported. The authors claimed that treatment with tosyl chlorides induced intramolec

Starting from the enantiomerically pure building block 2 which is readily available from D-asparagine α,β-disubstituted β-amino nitriles and β-amino acids could be synthesized.After deprotonation of the nitrile α-position the introduction of substituents was performed by alkylation of either 2 or the TBDMS-protected derivative 3.Starting from the β-homoserine equivalent 2 the reaction proceeds via a dianionic intermediate resulting in a preferred formation of the threo-configurated products 6a,b (ratio of isomers: 7:1).Modification of the side chain was demonstrated by displacement reactions with LiBH4 or potassium thiacetate. - Keywords: β-Amino nitriles; β-Amino acids; Diastereoselective alkylation
