Abstract:Interaction of L-histidine methyl ester (2) with N,N'-carbonyldiimidazole gave nearquantitative ring closure between the N' and the N" function to form (7S)-5,6,7.8-tetrahydro-7-(methoxycarbonyl)-5-oxoimidazo[l,5-c~]pyrimidine (3). Alkylation of 3, c.g. with an alkyl halide. trialkyloxonium tetrafluoroborate or dialkyl sulfate, is then only possible at the "N' function" to form (7S)-2-alkyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-7-(methoxycarbonyl)-5-oxoimidazo[ I ,5-r,]pyrimidinium salt (4).Hydrolysis of 4, aided by hydrochloric… Show more
“…The 1-methylhistidinol (16b) and the corresponding hydrochloride 16a were synthesized starting from commercially available histidine methyl ester dihydrochloride (11) (Scheme 3). Selective protection of the amino and imidazole N-atoms (N" and N(3)) of 11 and subsequent methylation were accomplished following a procedure of Noordam et al [13]. Conversion to the pyrimidine 12 with 1,l'-carbonylbis[lHimidazole] followed by methylation yielded the pyrimidinium salt 13 in high yield [13].…”

Conversion to the pyrimidine 12 with 1,l'-carbonylbis[lHimidazole] followed by methylation yielded the pyrimidinium salt 13 in high yield [13]. After acid-catalyzed ring opening, the resulting N-(methoxycarbony1)-protected amino ester 14 could be selectively reduced with NaBH, to give the corresponding alcohol 15 in 90% yield.…”
The synthesis of a series of chiral enantiomerically pure C,-symmetric binucleating ligands i s reported. Ligands of type 1-4. which consist of a phenolic or heterocyclic unit bridging two chiral dihydrooxnzole rings, are readily accessible from chiral amino alcohols. Ligands 5a and 5b are composed of a cyclic urea or thiourea unit, respectively, and two 3,4-dihydro-2H-pyi-l.ole rings containing a stereogenic center next to the "atom. Compounds of this type are readily assembled from ethane-1,2-diainine and an imidothioic ester derived from pyroglutamic acid. These new ligands. which can coordinate two melals in close proximity to each other, are of interest regarding possible applications in asymmetric catalysis.
