The transamination of α-keto acids with 2-phenylglycine is an effective methodology for directly synthesizing unprotected α-amino acids. However, the synthesis of 2-arylglycines by transamination is problematic because the corresponding products, 2-arylglycines, transaminate the starting arylglyoxylic acids. Herein, we demonstrate the use of commercially available l-2-(2-chlorophenyl)glycine as the nitrogen source in the transamination of arylglyoxylic acids, producing the corresponding 2-arylglycines without interference from the undesired self-transamination process.

The reaction of N-unprotected methylesters of phenylglycine derivatives (1a–1f) with electron-rich internal alkynes (2a–2e), catalyzed by [Ru(cymene)Cl2]2 (10%), gives the corresponding 3,4-disubstituted isoquinoline-1-carboxylates 3 through C[sbnd]H/N[sbnd]H oxidative coupling. The C[sbnd]H bond activation step is assisted by carboxylates, and N-fluoro-2,4,6-trimethylpyridinium triflate works as the terminal oxidant. The process shows a remarkable tolerance to the presence of diverse electron-releasing and electron-attracting functional groups at the phenyl ring of the amino acid. In addition, the reaction of phenylglycine derivatives (1a–1f) with methyl acrylate (4a) catalyzed by [Ru(cymene)Cl2]2 (10%) under the same experimental conditions, gives the corresponding 3,N-disubstituted isoindoline-1-carboxylates 5 through C[sbnd]H/N[sbnd]H coupling. Isoindolines 5 are obtained as a mixture of diastereoisomers, with moderate to high values of diastereomeric excess (up to 80%).

Paragraph 0314; 0324, (2015/03/28)
The present invention relates to an iridium-based catalyst compound for hydrogenating reducible moieties, especially imines and iminiums, the catalyst compounds being defined by the formulas: where ring B is either itself polycyclic, or ring B together with R is polycyclic. The catalysts of the invention are particularly effective in reductive amination procedures 10 which involve the in situ generation of the imine or iminium under reductive hydrogenative conditions.
