The reduction of dimethyl 3-N,N-di(a-methylbenzyl)amino-2-ketophosphonates 9 with catecholborane ... more The reduction of dimethyl 3-N,N-di(a-methylbenzyl)amino-2-ketophosphonates 9 with catecholborane at À78°C in presence of LiClO 4 , gave c-amino-b-hydroxyphosphonates 10 and 11 in good yield and with excellent diastereoselectivity. This procedure represents an example of highly diastereoselective 1,4-induction. The hydrolysis and hydrogenation of 10 and 11 afforded the (R)-and (S)-c-amino-b-hydroxypropylphosphonic acid (GABOB P ), respectively.

This procedure represents a new approach to the diastereoselective synthesis of diphenylphosphinoyl diols and an example of highly diastereoselective 1,2-induction. A theoretical model to explain the direction and degree of asymmetric induction is proposed.

An example of "diastereoselective 1,2-induction" is showed and a mechanistic model to explain the stereochemical outcome is proposed. Assignment of the configuration at the new stereogenic centers was achieved by 1 H NMR spectral data of their corresponding acetonides.

This type of addition to chiral b-dicarbonyl substrates represents a new synthetic methodology leading to the formation of enantiomerically pure cyanohydrins.

Research paper thumbnail of One-pot three-component highly diastereoselective synthesis of isoindolin-1-one-3-phosphonates under solvent and catalyst free-conditions

Tetrahedron-asymmetry, 2011

The use of a solvent decreases the diastereoselectivity and slows the reaction rate. The reaction rate was also influenced by CO 2 H functionality through protonation of the imine intermediate. The absolute configuration at the new stereogenic center was determined by X-ray crystal analysis, and a mechanism was proposed to explain the high diastereoselectivity.

Over the last few years, significant interest in the stereoselective synthesis and practical application of linear and cyclic chiral camino acids in the synthesis and design of a,b-and b,c-hybrid peptides with definite secondary structures and design of nanotubes has been reported, thus demonstrating the theoretical interest and the practical importance of c-amino acids. An overview of synthetic approaches to linear and cyclic chiral c-amino acids and derivatives is presented. Data on the practical applications of c-amino acids are also discussed.
