Diastereo- and Enantioselective Synthesis of trans-2-Amino-Cycloalkane-1-Carboxylic Acids via Intramolecular Tandem Michael-Addition/α-Alkylation Using TMS-SAMP as Chiral Equivalent of Ammonia

Abstract
trans-2-amino cyclopentane-, cyclohexane- and cycloheptane-1-carboxylic acids of high diastereo- and enantiomeric purity (de ≥ 96-98%, ee ≥ 98%) are prepared utilizing the stereoselective conjugate addition of lithiated (S)-(-)-2-methoxymethyl-1-trimethylsilylamino-pyrrolidine (TMS-SAMP) to ω-halide substituted α,β-unsaturated enoates followed by subsequent ring closure of the intermediate ester enolate (MIRC-reaction). The auxiliary is removed by reductive N-N bond cleavage.
