Page/Page column 39, (2008/06/13)
Disclosed are materials and methods for preparing optically active β-amino acids, which bind to the alpha-2-delta subunit of a calcium channel and are useful for treating pain, fibromyalgia, and a variety of psychiatric and sleep disorders. The method includes reacting a chiral allyl amine with a 2-alkynoate in the presence of a Lewis acid and a base to give a chiral tertiary enamine, which after reaction with ammonia, is hydrogenated to give optically active β-amino acids.
Nickel catalysed coupling of allylamines and boronic acid

Allylamines function as substrates for cross-coupling with boronic acids in the presence of nickel(0) catalysts rather than palladium(0) catalysts.Aryl-, vinyl- and methyl-boronic acids function well.With vinyl derivatives, E-isomers couple more efficiently than Z-isomer and both fully retain the geometrical integrity.Methylations preferably employ the boronic esters like 2-methyl-1,3,2-benzodioxaborole or 2-methyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolane rather than methylboronic acid.The stereochemistry of the reaction involves a net inversion with respect to the allylamine.The regioselectivity is a function of ligand.Generally, sterically bulky donor phosphines promote new C-C bond formation at the less substituted position.Bidentate ligands, notably 1,1'-binaphthyl-2,2'-ylbis(diphenylphosphinite) (BINAPO), promote new C-C bond formation at the more substituted allyl terminus.The amines appear to be the preferred partner compared to allyl alcohols and esters with the boronic acids and give higher stereospecificity.
