First regioselective ring opening of serine derived cyclic sulfamidate by hard nucleophiles like ArONa is developed, where β-elimination of serine sulfamidate ester by stronger nucleophiles is overcome by reversal of the electronic effect of the carboxylate anion. This method provides easy and direct access to a variety of N-Boc- and N-PMB protected β-aryloxy-α-amino acids with complete retention of enantiopurity in moderate to high yields.
A two step protocol is developed for the efficient synthesis of enantiopure N-Boc-dihydrobenzo[b]-1,4-oxazine-3-carboxylic acids 4 from serine derived cyclic sulfamidate via intramolecular arylamination. The RuPhos Palladacycle along with additional RuPhos ligand is found to be an efficient catalyst for the arylamination of β-(2-bromoaryloxy)amino acids 3 to provide easy and direct access to a variety of dihydrobenzo[b]-1,4-oxazine-3-carboxylic acids 4 with complete retention of enantiopurity in moderate to high yields. Dihydrobenzo[b]-1,4-oxazine-3-carboxylic acids are not only important unnatural amino acids, but are key precursors for the synthesis of important compounds such as benzoxazinyl oxazolidinones. A general approach for the synthesis of benzoxazinyl oxazolidinone is presented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
