Stereoselective synthesis of 3,4-disubstituted pyroglutamates by ring transformation of 5-ylidene-1,3-diosan-4-ones with N-(diphenylmethylene)-glycinate
A. Ali et al., Stereoselective synthesis of 3,4-disubstituted pyroglutamates by ring transformation of 5-ylidene-1,3-diosan-4-ones with N-(diphenylmethylene)-glycinate, TETRAHEDR-A, 11(21), 2000, pp. 4365-4375
N-(Diphenylmethylene)-glycinate gives stereoselective conjugate addition to
readily available (E) and (Z)-5-ylidene-1,3-dioxan-4-ones. Hydrolytic clea
vage of the imine functionality of the resulting Michael-adducts causes rin
g transformation to new, optically active 3,4-disubstituted pyroglutamates.
