SYNTHESIS OF BOTH ENANTIOMERS OF BETA,BETA-DIPHENYL-ALPHA-ALANINE (DIP) FROM GLYCINE USING (S)-2-[(N-BENZYLPROLYL)AMINO]BENZOPHENONE OR (R)-2-[(N-BENZYLPROLYL)AMINO]BENZOPHENONE AS A REUSABLE CHIRAL AUXILIARY
Vi. Tararov et al., SYNTHESIS OF BOTH ENANTIOMERS OF BETA,BETA-DIPHENYL-ALPHA-ALANINE (DIP) FROM GLYCINE USING (S)-2-[(N-BENZYLPROLYL)AMINO]BENZOPHENONE OR (R)-2-[(N-BENZYLPROLYL)AMINO]BENZOPHENONE AS A REUSABLE CHIRAL AUXILIARY, Tetrahedron : asymmetry, 8(1), 1997, pp. 79-83
Preparative syntheses of enantiopure (S)- and (R)-Dip by alpha-C-alkyl
ation with Ph(2)CHX (X=Cl or Br) of the glycine moiety in a Ni(II) Sch
iff's base complex 1 derived from glycine and (S)- or (R)-[(N-benzylpr
olyl)amino]benzophenone (BPB) is described. The diastereoselectivity o
f the alkylation with PhCH(2)Br in DMF in the presence of NaOH is both
kinetically and thermodynamically controlled. (C) 1997, Elsevier Scie
