| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In order to synthesize α-amino acid derivatives directly from carboxylic acid equivalents, we developed a first general catalytic α-amination of carboxylic acid oxidation state pronucleophile.
We focused on the bidentate coordinative acylpyrazole and iminoiodinane for the simultaneous activation of both the nucleophile and the electrophile. The bidentate coordination mode enabled chemoselective enolization over readily enolizable ketones and much more acidic nitroalkyl functionality. This is the first catalytic chemoselective deprotonative activation method of a carboxylic acid oxidation state pronucleophile over a highly acidic nitroalkyl functionality. In addition, the present catalysis could be applicable to late-stage α-amination of complex molecules. Mechanistic studies revealed that highly reactive copper nitrenoid species with a radical character was crucial for obtaining the product in high yield.
