A NEW CHIRAL ALPHA-AMINO-ACID WITH ONLY AXIAL DISSYMMETRY - SYNTHESISAND X-RAY-ANALYSIS OF A 1,1'-BINAPHTHYL-SUBSTITUTED ALPHA-AMINOISOBUTYRIC-ACID (BIN) AND OF ITS BIPHENYL ANALOG (BIP)
Jp. Mazaleyrat et al., A NEW CHIRAL ALPHA-AMINO-ACID WITH ONLY AXIAL DISSYMMETRY - SYNTHESISAND X-RAY-ANALYSIS OF A 1,1'-BINAPHTHYL-SUBSTITUTED ALPHA-AMINOISOBUTYRIC-ACID (BIN) AND OF ITS BIPHENYL ANALOG (BIP), Tetrahedron letters, 37(17), 1996, pp. 2971-2974
Racemic as well as optically pure 1,1'-binaphthyl-substituted alpha-am
inoisobutyric acid (Bin), a new chiral atropoisomeric alpha,alpha-disu
bstituted glycine, and its biphenyl analogue (Bip), have been prepared
by bis-alkylation of a glycine tert-butyl ester Schiff base. The free
aminoacids Bin and Bip, as well as their C- and/or N-protected deriva
tives have been obtained. X-ray analysis of H-Bip-OtBu and H-(S)Bin-OH
is presented. (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd
