Enantioselective Alkylation of Amino Acid Derivatives with Unactivated Olefins via C–N Bond Cleavage
Financial support for this work was provided by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (Grant No. 22101171), ‘Thousand Youth Talents Plan’, and startup funding from Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU).
Abstract
We reported a nickel-catalyzed enantioconvergent deaminative alkylation of α-amino acid derivatives with unactivated olefins, providing an efficient and convenient access to a range of α-enantioenriched amides. This method represents the first example of enantioselective deaminative functionalization with racemic amine precursors and features in mild conditions and broad substrate scope. New sterically encumbered bis(oxazoline) ligand was developed to improve both reactivity and enantioselectivity, which is key to the success of this reaction.
Key words
deaminative alkylation - enantioselective - chiral bis(oxazoline) ligands - α-amino acid - sp3 cross-couplingPublication History
