Abstract

When the PADAM (Passerini reaction-amine deprotection-acyl migration) strategy is applied to N-Boc amino acids, the resulting β-acylamino-α-hydroxyamides can be elaborated by secondary-alcohol oxidation, Boc deprotection, and intramolecular ­cyclisation. When TFA is employed to cleave the Boc group a spontaneous aromatisation to 2(1H)-pyrazinones is observed.

Key words

Passerini multicomponent reaction - isocyanides - heterocycles - ring closure - protecting groups - aromatisation

    The absence
    of racemisation was checked by NMR analysis of the corresponding Mosher esters obtained by aldehyde reduction with NaBH4 and subsequent reaction with (R)-Mosher’s chloride. We found that when the reduction with LiAlH4 was performed in THF partial racemisation (5-10%) occurred, whilst complete retention of configuration was observed in Et2O.

We have already applied this concept using the same PG for the α-amino aldehyde and the α-amino acid (ref. 6a).
