| Research Abstract |
Synthesis of optically pure organic compounds is one of topics in current organic synthesis. In this study, electrochemical oxidation was used as a key step for the transformation of easily available α-amino acids to new optically active intermediates, which were further elaborated in organic synthesis as described below.
(1) L-Protein and L-lysine derivatives were converted to optically active α-alkylproline and α-alkylpipecolinic acid derivatives by using electrochemical oxidation as a key step. (2) Optically active acyclic ω-carboxyl-α-alkyl-α-amino acids and new optically active auxiliary were prepared through oxidation products that were prepared by electrochemical oxidation of L-lysine derivative. (3) Optically active β-amino acid (d-threo-methylphenidate) was prepared with a high enantioselectivity by the carbon-carbon bond formation between a-methoxypiperidine derivative and N-phenylacetyloxazolidinone prepared from L-valine. (4) A new reaction condition appropriate to the Hofmann rearrangement was exploited. The reaction condition was created by using an electrochemical method in which 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol (TFEOH) was used as a solvent. Under the reaction condition, L-Glutamine ester derivative was efficiently converted to 2,4-diaminobutyric acid ester without a loss of the original optical purity. Furthermore, tirflouroethoxycarbonylamines, the Hofmann rearrangement products in TFEOH, were found to be precursors for unsymmetrical ureas. (5) Memory of chirality was observed in the non-Kolbe reaction of some kinds of optically active cyclic α-amino acids. (6) An efficient reagent for the Cα-Cβ bond of cyclic amino compounds was exploited and it was applied to the ring opening of L-pipecolinic acid derivative.
