Synthesis of Higher α-Chlorovinyl and α-Bromovinyl Amino Acids: The Amino Protecting Group Determines the Reaction Course

David B Berkowitz et al. Tetrahedron Lett. .

Abstract

N-Trifluoroacetyl α-vinyl amino esters are smoothly converted to the corresponding α-chlorovinyl or α-bromovinyl amino esters through the agency of phenyselenyl chloride or phenylselenyl bromide, respectively, followed by oxidation and pyrolysis. Exclusively the (E)-extemal halovinyl isomer and the internal halovinyl isomer are observed. The amino protecting group is a critical determinant of the reaction course (alkene addition vs. 5-exo-trig-like cyclization).
