The Claisen rearrangement of the N-protected, silylated allyl glycinates 11 and 12 led to the formation of allyl/silyl-functionalized amino acids 13 and 14 in yields up to 80%. The diastereoisomer ratio varied from 2:1 to 29:1 for 11mb, and from 2:1 to 46:1 (syn/anti) for 12mb, depending on reaction conditions, as shown by X-ray crystallographic analysis of 14mb. The relationship between the size of the alkyl groups on the chlorosilane reagent (Me2R″SiCl, R″ = Cl, Me, t-Bu, Ph) used as an enolate trap and the observed stereoselectivity was investigated in the case of the Ireland - Claisen variant. Me3SiCl gave the best results. However, the size of the alkyl groups on the silylated ester (Me2R″Si, R = Me, t-Bu, Ph, i-Pr) did not exert a significant effect on the diastereoselectivity or yield of the rearrangement.
