204Although the structure of the bimetallic complex of γ-205 cyclopalladation of tert-leucine derivative (+)-1 (complex A) 206 strongly suggested that the NH−SO 2 Py directing group is 207 crucial for this transformation, we were interested in confirming 208 this issue by screening other potentially coordinating N-209 protecting groups. For this purpose, a set of L-valine derivatives 210 (substrates 4−8) were examined in the carbonylation reaction 211 under the optimized conditions, and the results are summarized 212 in Table 2. While L-valine methyl ester hydrochloride 213 decomposed under the reaction conditions (entry 2 in Table 214 2), the NH-Ts derivative 5 and the NH-(2-thienyl)sulfonyl 215 derivative 6 were recovered unaltered without detecting any 216 carbonylation product (entries 3 and 4, respectively, in Table 217 2). The reaction of the (8-quinolyl)sulfonyl and (2-pyridyl)-218 carbonyl derivatives (7 and 8, respectively) led to a complex 219 mixture of products in low conversion (<10%) (entries 5 and 6 220 in Table 2). Interestingly, the lack of reaction efficiency 87 (75) e 5.7:1 (9) 9 7 2 −(4)a Reaction conditions are identical to those given in Table 1 This method was extended to β-amino acid derivatives, as 260 exemplified by the clean cyclocarbonylation of β-amino ester 261 (±)-19, affording the product (±)-20 as a separable 3.8:1 262 mixture of trans/cis diastereoisomers in good overall yield 263 (76%).
264Extension of the Method to Simple Aliphatic Amines. 265 The broad substrate scope displayed by this reaction with α-266 amino acid derivatives prompted us to explore the extension of 267 this method to simple aliphatic amine derivatives. We first 268 tested if compound (−)-21, analogue to tert-leucine derivative 269 1 but lacking the methyl ester moiety, could undergo γ-270 cyclometalation. The stoichiometric reaction of (−)-21 with 271 Pd(OAc) 2 (1.0 equiv) in acetonitrile at 60°C for 3.5 h, cleanly 272 provided, after simple recrystallization, the expected bimetallic 273 complex B in 91% yield (unambiguously determined by singles3 274 crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis; see Scheme 3), which 275 presents an analogous structure to complex A. This result demonstrated that the ester group at the α-277 position of the previously studied α-amino ester derivatives was 278 not essential for the C−H activation step. Fu...
