Goeschke, Richard published the artcileThe nonchiral bislactim diethoxy ether as a highly stereo-inducing synthon for sterically hindered, γ-branched α-amino acids: A practical, large-scale route to an intermediate of the novel renin inhibitor aliskiren, Safety of 2-(3-Methoxypropoxy)-4-((R)-2-(bromomethyl)-3-methylbutyl)-1-methoxybenzene, the main research area is gamma branched amino acid aliskiren intermediate preparation; stereoslective alkylation gamma branched amino acid preparation.
The diastereoselective synthesis of the sterically hindered, γ-branched α-amino acid derivative, I (R = CO2CMe3), and its N-[(tert-butoxy)carbonyl](Boc)-protected alc., both key intermediates of a novel class of nonpeptide renin inhibitors such as aliskiren, is described. Initially, the analogous Me ester was obtained by alkylation of the chiral Schoellkopf dihydropyrazine with a dialkoxy-substituted alkyl bromide, which proceeded with explicitly high diastereofacial selectivity (ds ≥98%) to give II, followed by mild acid hydrolysis and N-Boc protection. Conversely, the complete lack of stereocontrol and poor yields suggested, in addition to the anticipated shielding effect by the iPr group at C(2) of the auxiliary, steric repulsion between the MeO-C(6) and bulky residues in the proposed transition state, which would strongly disfavor both the Si and Re attack of the electrophile. Based on this rationale, alkylation of a readily accessible achiral diethoxy-dihydropyrazine was found to provide a 95:5 mixture of the product diastereoisomers in high yield, which afforded in two steps and after recrystallization enantiomerically pure I (R = CO2CMe3). Similarly, the stereochem. course for the alkylation reactions of the related alkyl bromides was investigated. The precursor bromides were efficiently synthesized via the diastereoselective alkylation of the Evans 3-isovaleroyloxazolidin-2-ones either with a bromide or with benzyl chloromethyl ether, and subsequent standard transformations. A practical and economical protocol of the preparation of I (R = CO2CMe3) on a multi-100-g scale is given. This is the first report of the application of an achiral dihydropyrazine, as a highly stereo-inducing synthon providing rapid access to a N-protected γ-branched α-amino acid with (2S) absolute configuration.
