An improved protocol for the preparation of (S)-vinylglycine from (S)-methionine

Abstract: We present an optimized procedure for the synthesis of (S)-vinylglycine from (S)-methionine. The key step is a solvent free pyrolysis of an intermediate sulfoxide at high temperature. Using our optimized reaction conditions, Cbz-protected vinylglycine was obtained in high yield and with almost no side products. The protocol is scalable, fast and avoids the use of poisonous reagents.

“…The earlier unknown D -Glu-γ-P H ( 1 ) may be prepared chemically (Fig. 2 ) and key precursor is methyl N -Cbz- D -vinylglycine ( 2 ), which can be synthesised following the protocols developed and used for the corresponding L -isomer 32 . To prepare methyl N -Cbz- L -vinylglycine different starting compounds, including amino acids, were used and reported elsewhere 32 and many of these synthetic approaches may be directly applied to prepare ( 2 ).…”

“…2 . Pathway (D), starting from D -Met, follows a classical and widely used 3-step Rapoport synthesis 32 . Alternatively, ( 2 ) can be prepared from commercially available D -3-aminobutyrolactone hydrochloride ( 3 ) in six steps, either following pathway (C) via selenide ( 4 ) 33 or via sulfoxide ( 5 ), following pathway (B), which also consists of six steps 34 .…”

“…Following a known protocol, we started our synthesis with enantiomerically pure Cbz-(S)-vinylglycine (3), which is readily available by a two-step synthesis from Cbz-(S)-methionine (2). 23 In parallel, dibenzyl glutarate (5) was prepared from benzyl acrylate (4) via a Baylis-Hilman type reaction with (n-Bu) 3 P. 24 Addition of ammonium hypophosphite gave phosphinic acid 6 as a racemate. Following a protocol of Vitharana et al, 25 stepwise crystallization with first yohimbine and second (S)-methylbenzylamine gave (S)-6 and (R)-6 in 31 and 28% yield, respectively over two steps.…”
