Total synthesis and absolute structure of N55, a positive modulator of GLP-1 signaling

Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) signaling is an established therapeutic target for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). We developed a 7-step synthesis of N55, a positive modulator of GLP-1 signaling isolated from fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum) seeds,

Enantioselective aerobic oxidative cross-dehydrogenative coupling of glycine derivatives with ketones and aldehydes: Via cooperative photoredox catalysis and organocatalysis

The combination of photoredox catalysis and enamine catalysis has enabled the development of an enantioselective aerobic oxidative cross-dehydrogenative coupling between glycine derivatives and simple ketones or aldehydes, which provides an efficient appr

Asymmetric anti-Mannich reactions in continuous flow

A polystyrene-supported, pyrrolidine-based catalyst depicting very high activity and excellent stereoselectivity in the anti-Mannich reaction of aldehydes and ketones has been developed. The very robust, immobilized catalyst has been successfully used in

Highly active organocatalysts for asymmetric anti-mannich reactions

Lighten the load! A family of enantiopure 4-oxy-substituted 3-aminopyrrolidines arising from the enantioselective ring-opening of meso-3-pyrroline oxide have been developed as catalysts for the asymmetric, anti-selective Mannich reaction (see scheme; PMP=

A practical and efficient total synthesis of potent insulinotropic (2S,3R,4S)-4-Hydroxyisoleucine through a chiral N-protected γ-keto- α-aminoester

(2S,3R,4S)-4-Hydroxyisoleucine, which exhibits remarkable insulinotropic activity, is expected to be a potent drug to treat type II diabetes. We propose herein a four-step synthesis of the enantiopure natural product on the basis of successive Mannich condensation, catalytic epimerization, N-paramethoxyphenyl deprotection, and diastereoselective reduction. This compact economical and scalable sequence enables to perfectly control three contiguous chiral centers. It does not involve any chromatographic purification, and the desired compound is obtained in >99 % de, >99 % ee, and 22 % overall yield under our optimized conditions.

4-Aminothiourea prolinol tert-butyldiphenylsilyl ether: A chiral secondary amine-thiourea as organocatalyst for enantioselective anti-mannich reactions

anti-Selective Mannich reactions of N-p-methoxyphenyl (PMP)-protected α-iminoglyoxylate with unmodified aldehydes or ketones were effectively catalyzed by 4-aminothiourea prolinol tert-butyldiphenylsilyl ether. The reactions led to chiral β-amino carbonyl compounds in high yields (up to 94%), excellent diastereo- and enantioselectivities (up to 98% de and >99% ee). The study demonstrated for the first time that direct Mannich-type reactions of unmodified aldehydes or ketones to aiminoglyoxylate can be promoted by secondary amine-thiourea chiral organocatalyst.

Method for the synthesis of 4-hydroxyisoleucine and the derivatives thereof

The invention relates to a method for the synthesis of two isomers, at function OH, alone or in mixtures, of amino acids α or the derivatives thereof, having general formula (B), wherein: linkage C—O of the 4-position carbon (represented by symbol) denotes one or other of isomers III or IV, or mixtures thereof. Moreover, R1 and R2 represent: a hydrogen atom; or either R1 or R2 represents a hydrogen atom and the other substituent is a radical Ra, an acyl group —CORa, such as acetyl, or a functional group —COORa, —SO2Ra, —N (Ra, Rb), Ra and Rb, which are identical or different, representing a C1-C12 linear or branched alkyl radical, optionally substituted, an aryl group with one or more aromatic rings and heterocycles, comprising between 5 and 8C, optionally substituted, or aralkyl, the alkyl substituent and the aryl group being as defined above; or R1 and R2 both represent a substituent as defined above. R3 represents a hydrogen atom or Ra and R4 has the significance of Ra. The invention is characterised in that it comprises: the isomerisation of a compound having formula (I), wherein R1, R2, Ra, R3 and R4 are as defined above, such as to produce a compound having formula (II); and the reduction of the carbonyl function thereof which, depending on the catalytic system employed and the formula (I) compound used, produces one of the isomers having general formula (III) or (IV) or a mixture thereof having formula (B). The invention can be used for the synthesis of (2S, 3R, 4S)-4-hydroxyisoleucine.

3-Pyrrolidinecarboxylic acid for direct catalytic asymmetric anti-Mannich-type reactions of unmodified ketones

We report the development of direct catalytic, enantioselective, anti-selective Mannich-type reactions between unmodified ketones and α-imino esters under mild conditions. The reactions were performed using 5-10 mol % of (R)-3-pyrrolidinecarboxylic or (R)-β-proline as catalyst in an environmentally benign solvent, 2-PrOH, at room temperature. The anti-Mannich products were obtained in good yields with high diastereo- and enantioselectivities (up to anti/syn >99:1, 99% ee). While (3R,5R)-5-methyl-3-pyrrolidinecarboxylic acid is an excellent catalyst for the anti-Mannich-type reactions of aldehydes, it did not efficiently catalyze the corresponding Mannich-type reactions of ketones; (R)-3-pyrrolidinecarboxylic acid did efficiently catalyze the Mannich-type reactions of ketones. (S)-Proline or (S)-2-pyrrolidinecarboxylic acid has been reported to catalyze the Mannich-type reactions of ketones to afford the syn-products. Thus, the position of the carboxylic acid group on the pyrrolidine ring directs the stereoselection of the catalyzed reaction, providing either syn- or anti-Mannich products. Copyright
