A practical method for the synthesis of chiral β2,3-amino esters having various substituents was developed, which is characterized by an asymmetric Michael addition reaction of a chiral lithium amide with trisubstituted (E)-α,β-unsaturated esters. We found that a highly face-selective protonation occurred by the quick addition of water to the enolate intermediate derived from the Michael addition reaction to afford N-protected β2,3-amino esters in moderate to excellent yields. This finding was made possible by the facile preparation of geometrically pure trisubstituted (E)-α,β-unsaturated esters, which was established recently by our group. The subsequent deprotection of the amino group in the Michael adduct by using N-iodosuccinimide (NIS) efficiently provided β2,3-amino esters having various substituents.

Enantioselective conjugate reduction of a wide range of α,β-unsaturated carboxylic esters was achieved using chiral Ir N,P complexes as hydrogenation catalysts. Depending on the substitution pattern of the substrate, different ligands perform best. α,β-Unsaturated carboxylic esters substituted at the α position are less problematic substrates than originally anticipated and in some cases α-substituted substrates actually reacted with higher enantioselectivity than their β-substituted analogues. The resulting saturated esters with a stereogenic center in the α or β position were obtained in high enantiomeric purity. Copyright
