Stereoselective organocatalytic approach to α,β-disubstituted- β-amino acids: A short enantioselective synthesis of cispentacin
Pou, Ana,Moyano, Albert

α-Branched α,β-unsaturated aldehydes have been tested in the organocatalytic tandem Michael addition/cyclization with N-(benzyloxycarbonyl)hydroxylamine, a reaction which until now has been restricted to α-unsubstituted enals. Starting from cyclopentene-2- carbaldehyde, and using diphenylprolinol trimethylsilyl ether as a chiral amine catalyst, this approach has led to the development of a practical, high yielding (93-98 % overall yield, three steps), and highly enantioselective (up to 98:2 er) route to the cyclic β-amino acid cispentacin, which compares favourably with previously described asymmetric syntheses of this biologically active natural product. When using acyclic α-branched α,β-unsaturated aldehydes as substrates, the reaction yields depend on the substitution pattern of the aldehydes, and mixtures of cis- and trans-isomers are obtained. Nevertheless, this strategy has proved to be successful in some instances, and (3R,4R)-benzyl 3-ethyl-4-methyl-5-oxoisoxazolidin-2-carboxylate could be obtained in 70 % overall yield (two steps) from the reaction of 2-ethylcrotonaldehyde and N-(benzyloxycarbonyl)hydroxylamine under catalysis with diphenylprolinol trimethylsilyl ether, and with high enantiomeric purity (99:1 er). The organocatalytic tandem Michael addition/cyclization of cyclopentene-2-carbaldehyde with N-Cbz-hydroxylamine, using diphenylprolinol TMS ether as a chiral amine catalyst, gives a practical, high yielding, and highly enantioselective route to the cyclic β-amino acid cispentacin. Acyclic α-branched enals give variable results in the same reaction, depending on the substitution pattern. Copyright
An improved synthesis of enantiopure β-amino acids
Cimarelli,Palmieri,Volpini
, p. 2943 - 2953 (2007/10/03)
An improved method for the preparation of both the enantiopure β-amino acids is presented. The diastereomer benzyl β-amino esters, obtained by stereoselective reduction of β-enamino esters, were separated and hydrogenolyzed to the free enantiopure β-amino acids.
Chemoenzymatic synthesis of both enantiomers of cispentacin
Theil, Fritz,Ballschuh, Sibylle

Based on the lipase-catalysed kinetic resolution of the silyloxyalcohol (1RS,2SR)-5 by transesterification with vinyl acetate in the presence of lipase from Pseudomonas cepacia a synthesis of both enantiomers of the β-amino acid cispentacin (1R,2S)-1 and (1S,2R)-1 using simple functional group interconversions is described.
