Highly enantioselective synthesis of beta-aminophosphinates with two stereogenic atoms and their conversion into optically pure ethyl beta-amino-H-phosphinates
Zhang, D., & Yuan, C. (2009). Highly enantioselective synthesis of beta-aminophosphinates with two stereogenic atoms and their conversion into optically pure ethyl beta-amino-H-phosphinates. Chemistry - A European Journal, 15(16), 4088-4101. https://doi.org/10.1002/chem.200802248
beta-Amino acid analogues: The nucleophilic addition of ethyl (diethoxyethyl)methylphosphinate to a variety of (S)-(tert-butanesulfinyl)imines leads to the isolation of two enantioenriched beta-aminophosphinates (>95 % ee; see scheme). Subsequent removal of the protecting groups through pivotal metal-catalyzed thiophenolysis leads to optically pure ethyl beta-amino-H-phosphinates.The first highly stereoselective synthesis of beta-aminophosphinates has been realized by the nucleophilic attack of an anion generated from ethyl (1,1-diethoxyethyl)methylphosphinate and nBuLi on (S)-N-(tert-butanesulfinyl)imines at -78 degrees C. Subsequent removal of the protecting groups through pivotal metal-catalyzed thiophenolysis leads to optically pure ethyl beta-amino-H-phosphinates. During this process, a pair of diastereoisomers with different configurations on the phosphorus atom can be obtained. Until now, Ellman N-(tert-butanesulfinyl)imines have demonstrated excellent chirality-induced activity in the syntheses of both alpha-aminophosphinates and beta-aminophosphinates. On the other hand, the Cram rules have been successfully applied to rationalize the highly enantioselective formation of (R(C))-alpha-aminophosphinates and (R(C))-beta-aminophosphinates, whereas the phenomenon that the two pairs of diastereoisomers could both be efficiently isolated is tentatively discussed based on X-ray crystallographic and (1)H NMR spectroscopic analysis.
