Asymmetric synthesis of alpha,beta-dialkyl-alpha-phenylalanines via direct alkylation of a chiral alanine derivative with racemic alpha-alkylbenzyl bromides. A case of high enantiomer differentiation at room temperature.

[figure: see text] This study demonstrates that the direct alkylation of a Ni(II)-complex of the chiral Schiff base of alanine with (S)-o-[N-(N-benzylprolyl)amino]- benzophenone, with racemic alpha-alkylbenzyl bromides, is a synthetically feasible and methodologically advantageous approach to the target alpha,beta-dialkylphenylalanines over previously reported methods. For the first time we report and rationalize a case of a high enantiomer differentiation process at room temperature.

Copper-Catalyzed Enantioconvergent Cross-Coupling of Racemic Alkyl Bromides with Azole C(sp2)?H Bonds

The development of enantioconvergent cross-coupling of racemic alkyl halides directly with heteroarene C(sp2)?H bonds has been impeded by the use of a base at elevated temperature that leads to racemization. We herein report a copper(I)/cinchona-alkaloid-derived N,N,P-ligand catalytic system that enables oxidative addition with racemic alkyl bromides under mild conditions. Thus, coupling with azole C(sp2)?H bonds has been achieved in high enantioselectivity, affording a number of potentially useful α-chiral alkylated azoles, such as 1,3,4-oxadiazoles, oxazoles, and benzo[d]oxazoles as well as 1,3,4-triazoles, for drug discovery. Mechanistic experiments indicated facile deprotonation of an azole C(sp2)?H bond and the involvement of alkyl radical species under the reaction conditions.

Catalytic enantioselective cross-couplings of secondary alkyl electrophiles with secondary alkylmetal nucleophiles: Negishi reactions of racemic benzylic bromides with achiral alkylzinc reagents

We have developed a nickel-catalyzed method for the asymmetric cross-coupling of secondary electrophiles with secondary nucleophiles, specifically, stereoconvergent Negishi reactions of racemic benzylic bromides with achiral cycloalkylzinc reagents. In contrast to most previous studies of enantioselective Negishi cross-couplings, tridentate pybox ligands are ineffective in this process; however, a new, readily available bidentate isoquinoline-oxazoline ligand furnishes excellent ee's and good yields. The use of acyclic alkylzinc reagents as coupling partners led to the discovery of a highly unusual isomerization that generates a significant quantity of a branched cross-coupling product from an unbranched nucleophile.
