Development of an Asymmetric Hydrogenation Route to (S)-N-Boc-2,6-dimethyltyrosine

Abstract: An improved, simpler and potentially more economical route to (S)-N-Boc-2,6-dimethyltyrosine 1, based on a previously published route, is presented. Key modifications were to prepare the dehydroaminoacid hydrogenation substrate 6 in a one-pot process directly from serine methyl ester and 4-iodo-3,5-dimethylphenyl acetate 4 and to identify a significantly more active asymmetric hydrogenation catalyst that allowed a 5-fold reduction in catalyst loading.

“…It relied on the enantioselective hydrogenation of the sterically encumbered b-aryl-substituted acrylate 13. 66 A low catalyst loading (0.20 mol%; S/C = 500) of a rhodium complex of the ferrocenyl diphosphine (S,S)-Et-FerroTANE sufficed to fully reduce the congested alkene 13 under optimised reaction conditions. The resultant Dmt-protected derivative 14 was isolated in 95% yield and with 93% ee.…”

“…We therefore turned to precursor 1 a as a substitute of 3methyl-6-vinyl tetrazine and explored an in situ elimination-Heck cascade reaction. [12] We initially screened the reaction conditions for the Heck cascade reaction of 1 a with iodobenzene using common catalysts, ligands, bases, and solvents. However, using 1.5 equiv iodobenzene, 10 % [Pd(PPh 3 ) 4 ]/Et 3 N/DMF and heating to 80 8C for 90 min, led to no observable product (Table 1, entry 1).…”

“…19,11 The applications of P-chirogenic and P-chirotopic organophosphorus compounds concern agrochemistry, 1 medicinal drugs 2 or biomolecules, 3 ligands 20 or organocatalysts 21 in asymmetric reactions, chiral coordinating polymers 22 or counter-ions, 9,11 rhodium complex and P-chirogenic diphosphines 14 or 18 has also been the subject of substantial industrial developments to produce amino acid derivatives 16 or 20 respectively, having a therapeutic interest (Scheme 1). 23,24 Therefore interest in P-chirogenic organophosphorus compounds has greatly expanded in recent past years, due to the development of new efficient stereoselective synthetic methods, using mainly menthol, ephedrine, sparteine or a-arylethylamine as chiral auxiliaries. 20, 25 On the other hand, the use of borane as P(III)-protecting group of the tricoordinated organophosphorus compounds has also resulted in significant breakthroughs in their asymmetric synthesis.…”
