A diastereo- and enantioselective propargylic substitution reaction between propargylic carbonates and α-substituted nitroacetates catalyzed by a Cu-pybox complex is described. This method allows the preparation of a series of non-proteinogenic quaternary α-amino acid precursors featuring two contiguous stereogenic centers and a terminal alkyne moiety in high yields with good to excellent diastereo- and enantioselectivities in most cases. The propargylated adducts were elaborated into a diverse set of quaternary α-amino acid derivatives.

Transformations that selectively functionalize aliphatic C-H bonds hold significant promise to streamline complex molecule synthesis. Despite the potential for site-selective C-H functionalization, few intermolecular processes of preparative value exist. Herein, we report an approach to unactivated, aliphatic C-H bromination using readily available N-bromoamide reagents and visible light. These halogenations proceed in useful chemical yields, with substrate as the limiting reagent. The site selectivities of these radical-mediated C-H functionalizations are comparable (or superior) to the most selective intermolecular C-H functionalizations known. With the broad utility of alkyl bromides as synthetic intermediates, this convenient approach will find general use in chemical synthesis.

Enoate reductases belonging to the Old Yellow Enzyme (OYE) family were employed to develop a biocatalysed approach to methyl (S)-2-bromobutanoate, a key intermediate for the introduction of a particular stereogenic unit into the molecular skeleton of a certain class of chiral drugs. Methyl (Z)-2-bromocrotonate afforded, respectively, (S)-2-bromobutanoic acid (ee = 97%) and methyl (S)-2-bromobutanoate (ee = 97%) by baker's yeast fermentation and by OYE1-3 biotransformations. The bioreductions of other methyl 2-haloalkenoates were also considered. It was observed that the (Z)- and (E)-diastereoisomers of α-bromo unsaturated esters afforded the same enantiomer of the corresponding reduced product.
