[2,3]-Sigmatropic Rearrangement of Allylic Selenimides: Strategy for the Synthesis of Peptides, Peptidomimetics, and N?Aryl Vinyl Glycines

摘要

The scope of the NCS-mediated amination/ [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement of enantioenriched allylic selenides has been expanded to provide access to three new product classes. The use of N-protected amino acid amides provides a novel strategy for accessing peptide chains containing unnatural vinyl glycine amino acid residues. Also reported is the use of amino acid esters, allowing the diastereoselective synthesis of N,N-dicarboxymethylamines, a motif found in a number of pharmaceuticals. Furthermore, use of a range of N-aromatic and N-heteroaromatic amines allows the formation of enantioenriched N-arylamino acids, a motif found in a number of synthetically and biologically interesting compounds.
