Diastereoselective functionalisation of Baylis–Hillman adducts: a convenient approach to α-methyl-α-amino acids
2010
The N-tosyl carbamates 4a–e, easily prepared starting from the Baylis–Hillman adducts 3a–e, underwent cyclization carried out with I2/NIS in the presence of NaH, to give the corresponding 2-oxo-1,3-oxazolidines 5a–e in good yield and total stereoselection when the substituent at C-5 is Ar. After the removal of tosyl group, followed by the cleavage of the heterocyclic ring, the α-methyl-α-amino acids 8a,b and 10 were obtained in good yield as hydrochlorides.
