Scheme 1.19
Asymmetric synthesis of (R) -configured homoallyl amines using fucosyl amine 58.
of allyl trimethylsilane in the allylic addition of the corresponding
β
-L-fucosyl
imines 60 (R
n Pr).
Schiff bases derived from glucosyl amines and aliphatic aldehydes do not react
with allyltrimethylsilane under the same conditions. Even at low temperature
(
=
78 °C), only anomerization and decomposition occurred. However, these imines
could be converted into the corresponding homoallylamines using allyltributyls-
tannane instead of the silane at
78 °C, and SnCl 4 (1.2 equiv) was used to activate
the imine.
The homoallylamines 62 can be released from the carbohydrate template using
aqueous HCl in methanol. Homoallylamine hydrochlorides 62 could easily be N-
protected and were subsequently oxidized to yield the N-protected
β
-amino acid 64,
which was finally deprotected to the corresponding
-amino acid 65 (Scheme 1.20).
A tentative reaction mechanism was proposed by the authors. In the transition
state the tin atom of the Lewis acid SnCl 4 has octahedral coordination, with sites
occupied by chlorine atoms, the imine nitrogen and the carbonyl oxygen of the
