Over last decade, the use of Ni(II) complexes, derived from of glycine Schiff bases with chiral tridentate ligands, has emerge as a leading methodology for preparation of structurally diverse Tailor-Made Amino Acids, the key structural units in modern medicinal chemistry, and drug design. Here, we report asymmetric synthesis of derivatives of (S)-α-(octyl)glycine ((S)-2-aminodecanoic acid) and its N-Fmoc derivative via alkylation of chiral nucleophilic glycine equivalent with n-octyl bromide. Under the optimized conditions, the alkylation proceeds with excellent yield (98.1%) and diastereoselectivity (98.8% de). The observed stereochemical outcome and convenient reaction conditions bode well for application of this method for large-scale asymmetric synthesis of (S)-2-aminodecanoic acid and its derivatives.

A new type of chiral pyridoxamines bearing an adjacent chiral stereocenter has been developed via multi-step synthesis. The pyridoxamines displayed catalytic activity in asymmetric transamination of α-keto acids to give a variety of optically active amino acids in 27–78% yields with 34–62% ee's under very mild conditions. This work provides a synthetic strategy to construct new chiral pyridoxamines using bromopyridine 7 as a key synthon and also represents an early example of the applications of chiral pyridoxamines in asymmetric catalysis.
