Petasis vs. Strecker Amino Acid Synthesis: Convergence, Divergence and Opportunities in Organic Synthesis. Molecules 2021; 26:molecules26061707. [PMID: 33803879 PMCID: PMC8003338 DOI: 10.3390/molecules26061707] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/20/2021] [Revised: 03/11/2021] [Accepted: 03/13/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
α-Amino acids find widespread applications in various areas of life and physical sciences. Their syntheses are carried out by a multitude of protocols, of which Petasis and Strecker reactions have emerged as the most straightforward and most widely used. Both reactions are three-component reactions using the same starting materials, except the nucleophilic species. The differences and similarities between these two important reactions are highlighted in this review.

Abstract
A simple method for preparation of fluoroalkyl beta-enaminophosphonates 1 from alkylphosphonates 2 and perfluoroalkyl nitriles 3 is reported. Olefination reaction of functionalized phosphates 1 with aldehydes gives alpha,beta-unsaturated imines 5. Acid hydrolysis of these fluoroalkyl derivatives 5 affords alpha,beta-unsaturated ketones 6, while their selective reduction with hydrides leads to the formation of allylamines 7, enamines 8, and saturated ketones 9 or amines 10. Selective oxidative cleavage of the carbon-carbon double bond of allylamines 7 gives fluorinated alpha-amino aldehydes 12, alpha-amino ketones 13, or alpha-amino acid derivatives 14.

Abstract
The highly functionalized bicyclic lactam 7 was prepared from diolefinic-2-piperidone 18 by the use of ruthenium-catalyzed RCM, and in turn, 18 was derived via a two-carbon addition process from readily accessible 4-olefinic-2-azetidinone 13. Bicyclic lactams 7 and 20 could serve as potentially valuable intermediates for the chiral synthesis of various hydroxylated indolizidine alkaloids as exemplified by the synthesis of (8S,8aS)-perhydro-8-indolizinol 19.

The "Non-Oxidative" pummerer reaction: conclusive evidence for S(N)2-type stereoselectivity, mechanistic insight, and synthesis of enantiopure L-alpha-trifluoromethylthreoninate and D-alpha-trifluoromethyl-allo-threoninate(1).

Abstract
Enantiopure methyl D-alpha-trifluoromethyl-allo-threoninate 18 and L-alpha-trifluoromethylthreoninate 19 were synthesized using (R)-ethyl p-tolylsulfoxide as chiral alpha-hydroxyethyl anion equivalent. The key step was the S(N)2-type replacement of the sulfinyl auxiliary with a hydroxy group, via trifluoroacetic anhydride promoted "non-oxidative" Pummerer reaction (NOPR) of the diastereomeric intermediate beta-sulfinyl amines 14 and 15, obtained by condensation of (R)-ethyl p-tolylsulfoxide 13 with the N-Cbz imine of methyl trifluoropyruvate 12. The conclusive evidence for S(N)2-type stereoselectivity of the NOPR was achieved by X-ray diffraction of both the starting diastereomer 14 and the p-bromobenzoate 25, obtained from the threoninate 19. NMR monitoring of the NOPR performed on 15 allowed the detection of a transient intermediate, which was identified as the four membered cyclic sigma-sulfurane 27. This intermediate spontaneously rearranged (40 min, rt) into the corresponding sulfenamide 17, probably via an intramolecular displacement of the sulfinyl by a trifluoroacetoxy group, with inversion of configuration at the carbon stereocenter. The same process occurred for the diastereomeric beta-sulfinyl amine 14, but the sulfenamide 16 was formed at a very fast rate, thus precluding NMR detection of the corresponding sigma-sulfurane intermediate 26. One-pot treatment of the diastereomeric sulfenamides 16 and 17 with NaBH(4) afforded very good yields of the corresponding threoninates 18 and 19.

Abstract
The [3',5']-ditritio-alpha-fluoromethyl-tyrosine 4 (specific activity 15.0 Ci/mmol) has been synthesized and used as a radioactive probe for rat neuronal tyrosine hydroxylase (TH). The route of synthesis for the preparation of 3 and 4 allowed us to not only introduce a fluorine atom into 3/4 using an inorganic source of fluorine (CsF), but also to take advantage of the high-yielding cyclization of (alpha,beta)-acetamido alcohols mediated by diethylaminosulfur trifluoride (DAST) to give the corresponding oxazolines. The distribution and metabolism of 4 have been studied in control conditions within the rat locus caeruleus (LC). Intracisternal injection of 20 microCi of 4 was followed by a rapid disappearance of 4 (t1/2 = 1.5 h) and by a specific accumulation of radioactivity into the LC anatomical limits. This was investigated each 140 microns along the caudo-rostral axis of the noradrenergic nucleus. In each anatomical interval, its distribution correlated nicely with already described caudo-rostral distribution of TH in noradrenergic cells. Thus, 4 may provide a reliable measure of TH activity in such catecholamine structures.
