General Access to Modified α-Amino Acids by Bioinspired Stereoselective γ-C?H Bond Lactonization

α-Amino acids represent a valuable class of natural products employed as building blocks in biological and chemical synthesis. Because of the limited number of natural amino acids available, and of their widespread application in proteomics, diagnosis, drug delivery and catalysis, there is an increasing demand for the development of procedures for the preparation of modified analogues. Herein, we show that the use of bioinspired manganese catalysts and H2O2 under mild conditions, provides access to modified α-amino acids via γ-C?H bond lactonization. The system can efficiently target 1°, 2° and 3° γ-C?H bonds of α-substituted and achiral α,α-disubstituted α-amino acids with outstanding site-selectivity, good to excellent diastereoselectivity and (where applicable) enantioselectivity. This methodology may be considered alternative to well-established organometallic procedures.

Chiral sensors for determining the absolute configurations of α-amino acid derivatives

A simple strategy for configurational assignments of alpha-amino acids has been developed by comparison of the proton NMR chemical shift values of the alpha hydrogens of N-phthaloyl protected alpha-amino acids in the presence of (R)-CSA 1 and (S)-CSA 1, respectively. Highly resolved NMR spectra can be obtained directly on the mixed solution of the chiral solvating agents with N-phthaloyl protected alpha-amino acids in NMR tubes, giving well distinguishable proton signals without interference which dramatically improve the accuracy of assignment and hasten the assigning procedure. The strategy is widely applicable for varied natural and non-natural amino acids.

Silver-Catalyzed Efficient Synthesis of Oxindoles and Pyrroloindolines via α-Aminoalkylation of N-Arylacrylamides with Amino Acid Derivatives

α-Aminoalkylation of N-arylacrylamides with amino acid derivatives was achieved by silver-catalysis in moderate to high yields. The reaction provides an efficient strategy for the synthesis of functionalized oxindoles, and is suitable for a wide range of N-arylacrylamides and amino acids, both of which are inexpensive and readily available. The oxindoles obtained were readily transformed into densely functionalized pyrroloindolines by deprotection and cyclization in one pot.

1,2-Hydride Migration in Dialkyl α-Diazophosphonates Catalyzed by [Cu(MeCN)4]PF6: A Novel Approach to β-Amino (E)-Enylphosphonates

The regiospecific and stereoselective 1,2-migration reaction of dialkyl α-diazophosphonates for the synthesis of β-amino (E)-enylphosphonates is developed utilizing tetrakis(acetonitrile)copper(I) hexafluorophosphate [Cu(MeCN)4PF6] as the catalyst and N,N-dimethylformamide as an additive. A possible mechanism for the 1,2-migration reaction involving a metal carbene is presented. An investigation on the E/Z isomer selectivity of this process demonstrates that steric factors play an important role on the outcome. This process provides a straightforward access to β-amino (E)-enylphosphonates in moderate to good yields.

Direct, visible light-sensitized benzylic C[sbnd]H fluorination of peptides using dibenzosuberenone: selectivity for phenylalanine-like residues

A visible light-sensitized benzylic sp3C[sbnd]H fluorination protocol using dibenzosuberenone (5?mol?%) and Selectfluoris optimized for the direct functionalization of phenylalanine-like residues in short chain peptides. Amino acids, dipeptides, and tripeptides undergo benzylic fluorination with remarkable regioselectivity in the presence of protected basic, acidic, and nonpolar side chains (including those with tertiary sites). Additionally, protecting group compatibility, a gram scale application, and competition experiments were explored.

Trifluoroborane-catalyzed C-H functionalization/S-H insertion reaction: Construction of N,S-acetal quaternary centers

Abstract The trifluoroborane-catalyzed C-H functionalization/S-H insertion reaction of α-diazophosphonates with thiols has been developed. A plausible reaction mechanism has been proposed to understand the combined reaction. This process provides straightforward access to N,S-acetals containing quaternary centers in moderate to good yields and chemoselectivity.

Unexpected stereoselective synthesis of (Z)-β-alkenyl substituted β-amino phosphonates through β,γ-dihydrogen shift reaction catalyzed by a copper(I) complex and iodine [Cu(MeCN)4]PF 6/I2

A series of dialkyl a-diazophosphonates has been prepared from natural amino acids. The diazo decomposition of these diazophosphonate compounds with tetrakis(acetonitrile)copper(I) hexafluorophosphate/iodine, [Cu(MeCN) 4]PF6/I2, as catalyst has been investigated. It was found that the diazo decomposition of dialkyl a-diazophosphonates gave a mixture of β,γ-dihydrogen shift and 1,2-hydride migration products and afforded β-alk- enyl-substituted β-amino phosphonates with the Z configuration. The mechanism of this novel diazo decomposition process was discussed.

Nonnatural amino acid synthesis by using carbon-hydrogen bond functionalization methodology

Taking direction well: Substituted phenylalanine derivatives were prepared by C-H bond functionalization (see scheme). The syntheses are highly convergent and employ an N-phthaloylalanine with a 2-thiomethylaniline directing group. The use of an 8-aminoquinoline directing group allows for the diarylation of methyl and the diastereoselective arylation of methylene groups. Copyright
