Title:
SN1-Type Substitution Reactions of N-Protected ss-Hydroxytyrosine Esters: Stereoselective Synthesis of ss-Aryl and ss-Alkyltyrosines
Abstract:
The title compounds were prepared by aldol reaction of anisaldehyde and the respective N,N-dibenzyl glycinates. Deprotection of the nitrogen atom with Pearlmans catalyst delivered the unprotected beta-hydroxytyrosine esters, which were further N-protected as N,N-phthaloyl (Phth) and N-fluorenylmethylcarbonyloxy (Fmoc) derivatives. The FriedelCrafts reaction with various arenes was studied employing these alcohols as electrophiles. It turned out that the facial diastereoselectivitiy depends on the nitrogen protecting group and on the ester group. The unprotected substrates (NH2) gave preferentially syn-products but the anti-selectivity increased when going from NHFmoc over NPhth to NBn2. If the ester substituent was varied the syn-preference increased in the order Me 95:5). Upon acetylation of the latter compound to the respective acetate, Bi(OTf)3-catalyzed alkylation reactions became possible, in which silyl enol ethers served as nucleophiles. The respective alkylation products were obtained in high yield and with excellent anti-selectivitiy (anti/syn=95:5).
