Abstract

This paper describes an efficient method for constructing cyclic β-amino acids bearing quaternary stereocenters. NaHMDS-promoted asymmetric α-alkylation was employed to obtain the key intermediates with quaternary stereogenic centers, which were subsequently reduced by NaBH₄ in 10% methanol in THF, with high yields and high diastereoselectivities. By removing the allyl ester group and the chiral auxiliary, the corresponding cyclic β-amino acid hydrochlorides were finally obtained.

Key words

β-amino acids - quaternary stereocenters - asymmetric alkylation - sulfimines - diastereoselectivity

When the free acid was completely consumed (TLC), EtOAc was added to induce precipitation, and the mixture was filtered to give 1a as a pale-yellow solid; yield: 1.18 g (87% over two steps); mp 215–217 °C; [α]_D ²⁵ –43.2 (c 0.54, H₂O).
