Abstract

N-Benzyldiphenylphosphinamides are deprotonated at the NCα position diastereospecifically upon treatment with t-BuLi in diethyl ether at low temperature. The reaction of the anions with alkyl, acyl, and tin halides, aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes, and Michael acceptors allowed installation of a variety of functional groups into the benzylic arm in excellent yields. Cleavage of the P−N linkage affords 1,2-amino alcohols and α-, β-, and γ-amino acids.

Alicia Boto and Iván Romero-EstudilloOrganic Letters2011 Article ASAPOne-Pot Stereoselective Synthesis of 1,2-Amino Alcohol Derivatives
Alicia Boto and Iván Romero-EstudilloOrganic Letters2011 Article ASAPCommon β-hydroxy amino acids (such as threonine) can be readily transformed into 1,2-amino alcohols with excellent stereoselectivity. This one-pot decarboxylation–alkylation process allows the replacement of the carboxyl group by alkyl, allyl, or aryl ...
