Reproduction of the experimental results with Allinger's MM3 program was successfully accomplished in the case of the sulfoxide and sulfide groups. Nevertheless, modification of the original force field torsional parameters was required in order to adequately reproduce the experimentally observed behavior of the sulfonyl derivatives. Rationalization of the enthalpic and entropic contributions to DeltaG degrees [S(O)(n)()R, n = 0, 1, 2; R = CH(3), Ph] is advanced in terms of the steric characteristics of these sulfur-containing groups and the resulting rotameric populations in the axial and equatorial monosubstituted cyclohexanes.

In particular, good to excellent yields of several relevant α,β- and β,β-dipeptides were obtained. An illustrative application of this methodology consisted in the high-yield synthesis of the mammalian α,β-dipeptide N-Boc-l-carnosine-OMe.

Research paper thumbnail of Conformational analysis of 1,3-dithian-2-yltrimethylphosphonium chloride. Origin of the S-C-P anomeric effect

J Am Chem Soc, 1993

The conformational energy of the trimethylphosphonium group in the 1,3-dithian-2-yl system was de... more The conformational energy of the trimethylphosphonium group in the 1,3-dithian-2-yl system was determined by multinuclear ('H, I3C, 31P) NMR analysis of the mobile title compound as well as the corresponding conformationally fixed models. A definite preference for the axial conformation, = 0.36 f 0.10 kcal/mol, reflects a substantial S-C-+PMe, anomeric effect in this system, with a value at least equal to 2.2 kcal/mol. This result is compared with thermodynamic data obtained from the systematic study of other 2-P-substituted 1,3-dithianes, in order to gain insight into the nature of the SX-P anomeric effect. In particular, the trimethylphosphonium group lacks unshared electrons; therefore, this result is not in line with interpretations of the S-C-P anomeric effect invoking a dominant repulsion between electrons at sulfur and the P-substituents in the equatorial conformation. Analysis of the NMR spectroscopic data lends support to a tweelectron/tweorbital stereoelectronic interaction that stabilizes the axial isomer. Furthermore, the substantial anomeric effect observed in the title system clearly violates expectations in terms of the so-called *reverse anomeric effect". (8) See, for example: (a) Mikolajczyk, M.

Alkylation of the lithium enolates of these chiral glycine derivatives proceeds with high diastereoselectivity. In particular, the reaction of the unlike isomers, (2R, 1′S)- and (2S, 1′R)-7, afforded the desired phosphorylated products 9 with ≥ 98% diastereoselectivity. Hydrolysis of the alkylated products proceeds under relatively mild conditions to give enantiomerically pure

The substitution with amines for CeN bond formation on these substrates bearing substituents on the Ca, Cb, and Cg position of the allylic system has received, until now, little attention. The reactions, carried out under palladium-catalyzed conditions, resulted in good yields and complete regioselectivity. Moreover, starting from enantiopure carbonates, complete retention of the configuration could be observed, affording enantiopure allylic amines.

For comparison purposes, a few natural products were also examined as catalysts in this study. Among the results obtained, (R)-N-benzyl-N-(1-phenylethyl)-amine and (R,R)-N,N′-bis(1-phenylethyl)-propane-1,3-diamine as the catalysts afforded the amination products in excellent yields and with up to 84% ee. By contrast, under comparable conditions the two derivatives of natural products (DHQ) 2 PYR and (DHQD) 2 PYR provided the product of amination with lower than 10% enantiomeric excess.

Plots of In K versus l/T are linear, permitting evaluation of the enthalpic and entropic contributions to the S-C-Y anomeric effects in these heterocycles. Ab initio Density Functional Theory calculations in the gas phase and in solution were carried out on slightly simplified models with Y = SCH3, CO2CH3, and COCH3. The influence of the solvent was simulated with a self-consistent reaction field (SCRF) continuum model. The axial preference observed for 1-3 is reproduced by calculation.

In particular, the methyl ester of (S)-proline-(S)-tryptophan, (S,S)-1c, proved to be an efficient organocatalyst, and the aldol reaction proceeded with good chemical yields and excellent diastereo-and enantioselectivity (up to 98:2 anti/syn dr and up to 98% ee), in the presence of water, and 5 mol % of benzoic acid as additive.
