A six-step synthetic pathway has been established to access a series of racemic 2,3-dihydroxy-3-(N-substituted carbamoyl)propylphosphonic acid derivatives, designed to contain structural features common to both the natural substrate 1-deoxy-D-xylulose 5-p

Ammonia-borane serves as an efficient substoichiometric (10%) precatalyst for the direct amidation of both aromatic and aliphatic carboxylic acids. In situ generation of amine-boranes precedes the amidation and, unlike the amidation with stoichiometric amine-boranes, this process is facile with 1 equiv of the acid. This methodology has high functional group tolerance and chromatography-free purification but is not amenable for esterification. The latter feature has been exploited to prepare hydroxyl- and thiol-containing amides.

Chemoselective synthesis of N-protected β-amino esters involving lipase-catalyzed aza-Michael additions and α,β-unsaturated precursors is mainly hampered by the two electrophilic sites present on these compounds. In order to control the chemoselectivity a solvent engineering strategy based on the thermodynamic behaviour of products in media of different polarity was designed. This strategy allowed to obtain aza-Michael adducts from benzylamine and different acrylates with high selectivity. In almost all reactions carried out in n-hexane, a non-polar solvent, aminolysis was avoided while the corresponding Michael adducts were exclusively synthesized in 53-78% yields. On the contrary, in reactions carried out in a polar solvent such as 2-methyl-2-butanol the aminolysis products were favoured. Thermodynamic analyses of these processes using the COSMO-RS method helped to understand some of the key factors affecting chemoselectivity and confirmed that a reliable estimation of the thermodynamic interactions of solutes and solvents allows an adequate selection of a reaction media that may lead to chemoselectivity.
