Organocatalytic Approach to the Enantioselective Total Synthesis of (+)-Serinolamides A and B and (+)-Lacosamide

Abstract

A short and highly efficient enantioselective synthesis of (+)-serinolamide A, B and (+)-lacosamide from 3-methoxypropanal using l-proline-catalyzed α-amination, Grubbs metathesis, and acid-amine coupling as key steps is reported.

Key words

enantioselective - l-proline-catalyzed - asymmetric α-amination - serinolamide A, B and lacosamide
