[Technical Field]

[0001] (CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS) This application claims partial priority from Chinese Patent Application No. 202310794646.0, entitled "Chiral Pyridinium Salt Carbonyl Catalysts and Preparation Methods and Uses Thereof," filed on June 30, 2023, and Chinese Patent Application No. 202410863976.5, entitled "Chiral Pyridinium Salt Carbonyl Catalysts and Preparation Methods and Uses Thereof," filed on June 30, 2024, the relevant contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.

[0002] The present invention belongs to the technical field of chemical synthesis, and relates to chiral pyridinium salt carbonyl catalysts and their preparation methods and uses. [Background technology]

[0003] In vivo, threonine aldolase catalyzes the direct addition of glycine to acetaldehyde to produce threonine (β-hydroxyα-aminobutyric acid). The active center of this enzyme is vitamin B6, a water-soluble vitamin that includes pyridoxal, pyridoxine, pyridoxamine, and their phosphate ester derivatives. Its main function is as a coenzyme factor, participating in various enzyme-catalyzed reactions. Since the 1980s, chemists have been mimicking the chemical structure of vitamin B6 to develop biomimetic catalysts / artificial enzymes. For example, the asymmetric aldol reaction of glycine with aldehydes involving an equivalent amount of chiral carbonyl catalyst, conducted by Kuzuhara and Breslow, laid the foundation for biomimetic studies of threonine aldolase (H. Kuzuhara, N. Watanabe, M. Ando, ​​J. Chem. Soc., Chem. Commun. 1987, 95-96; M. Ando, ​​H. Kuzuhara, Bull. Chem. Soc. Jpn. 1990, 63, 1925-1928; J. T. Koh, L. Delaude, R. Breslow, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1994, 116, 11234-11240). These studies usually required the use of an equivalent amount of chiral pyridoxal, and the early chiral pyridoxal carbonyl catalysts were not widely applicable to organic synthesis due to their moderate reactivity and stereoselectivity and limited applicability to aldehyde substrates.In recent years, Zhao's research group has synthesized and developed a series of chiral pyridoxal carbonyl catalysts, which have been successfully applied to the asymmetric Mannich reaction of glycine esters, the asymmetric aldol reaction of trifluoromethyl ketones, the asymmetric Michael addition reaction and asymmetric α-allylation reaction, and the asymmetric aldol reaction of unactivated aromatic and alkynylmethylamines, achieving very good results (Chen, J. et al., Science 2018, 360, 1438-1442; Ma, J. et al., Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2021, 60, 10588-10592; Cheng, A. et al., Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2021, 60, 20166-20172; Ma, J. et al., Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2022, 61, e202200850; Hou, K. et al. al, Nat. Catal. 2022, 5, 1061-1068; Ji, P. et al, Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2022, 61, e202206111). However, a chiral carbonyl catalyst capable of efficiently catalyzing the aldol reaction of glycine compounds with aldehydes has not yet been successfully developed. The main reasons for this are that the reaction faces many challenges, including: (1) aldehydes readily form imines with glycine compounds, preventing the aldol reaction from proceeding; (2) under carbonyl catalysis, the product is prone to undergo a retroaldol reaction, resulting in decomposition and racemization; and (3) the product amino α-H is highly acidic, prone to epimerization under basic conditions, making it difficult to control the enantioselectivity and diastereoselectivity of the product. Due to these challenges, no catalyst capable of efficiently catalyzing this transformation has yet been developed.

[0004] Many β-hydroxy-α-amino acids are important pharmaceutical intermediates, and their synthesis has attracted widespread attention. Although there have been reports on the aldol reaction of glycine with aldehydes catalyzed by biological enzymes, the moderate conversion and low diastereoselectivity have limited the synthetic application of biological methods for preparing β-hydroxy-α-amino acids (Duckers, N. et al., Appl. Microbiol. Biotechnol. 2010, 88, 409-424; Fesko, K. et al., Appl. Microbiol. Biotechnol. 2016, 100, 2579-2590; Wang, S. et al., Appl. Microbiol. Biotechnol. 2021, 105, 3507-3520). The asymmetric aldol reaction of glycine and its derivatives with aldehydes using chemical catalysts is also difficult to achieve. This is because there is currently a lack of chiral catalysts that can efficiently catalyze this reaction, making it difficult to achieve rapid chemical synthesis of chiral β-hydroxy-α-amino acid compounds. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] The object of the present invention is to overcome at least one of the deficiencies of the above-mentioned prior art by providing a chiral pyridinium salt carbonyl catalyst, which can be used in the biomimetic aldol reaction of amino acid derivatives to synthesize a series of β-hydroxy-α-amino acid compounds with extremely high enantioselectivity, as well as a preparation method and use thereof.

[0014] [ka]

[0015] One technical solution of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing chiral pyridinium salt carbonyl catalysts, which involves using the single-configuration compound 5 after resolution as the starting material, condensing the chiral amine compound 5 with dimethyl squarate in a solvent to produce compound 6, which is then condensed with a primary amine to produce an amide intermediate, which is then reacted with a halogenated hydrocarbon to produce a quaternary ammonium salt intermediate, and finally hydrolyzing the intermediate under acid to produce the final product, pyridinium salt carbonyl catalyst 1a. The reaction process is as follows:

[0016] [ka]

[0017] The molar ratio of the compound 5 to dimethyl squarate is 1:(1 to 10), the reaction temperature is −20 to 120° C., and the reaction time is 1 to 72 hours.

The reaction process is as follows:

[0019] [ka]

The reaction process is as follows:

[0023] [ka]

[0024] The molar ratio of the compound 5 to the isothiocyanate or isocyanate is 1:(1 to 10), the reaction temperature is −20 to 120° C., and the reaction time is 1 to 72 hours.

The ethyl carbonate protecting group of compound 10 is then removed under the action of trimethylsilyl bromide to produce compound 11. Compound 11 is then reacted with a halogenated hydrocarbon to produce a quaternary ammonium salt intermediate, which is finally hydrolyzed under the action of acid to produce the final product, pyridinium salt carbonyl catalyst 1d. The reaction process is as follows:

[0026] [ka]

[0027] The molar ratio of the compound 5 to the isothiocyanate is 1:(1 to 10), the reaction temperature is −20 to 120° C., and the reaction time is 1 to 72 hours. the molar ratio of the compound 9 to the carbodiimide hydrochloride and the primary amine is 1:(1-10):(1-10), the reaction temperature is 0-100°C, and the reaction time is 1-72 hours; The molar ratio of the compound 10 to trimethylsilyl bromide is 1:(1 to 10), the reaction temperature is 0 to 100°C, and the reaction time is 1 to 72 hours.

[0032] One technical solution of the present invention is to provide a chiral pyridinium salt carbonyl catalyst. The pyridinium salt carbonyl catalyst 1 is used in the asymmetric biomimetic aldol reaction of an amino acid derivative with a carbonyl compound to synthesize chiral β-hydroxy-α-amino acids (chiral β-hydroxy-α-amino acids and their derivatives).

[0043] The present invention relates to novel biaryl chiral pyridinium salt carbonyl catalysts, as well as methods for synthesizing and using such catalysts. These catalysts can be used in biomimetic aldol reactions to synthesize a series of chiral β-hydroxy-α-amino acids, providing a new method for the asymmetric synthesis of β-hydroxy-α-amino acids. The biomimetic aldol reactions are carried out under mild conditions, are simple to operate, highly reproducible, and have extremely high dr and ee values ​​and high to very high yields. [Effects of the Invention]

[0044] The present invention has the following advantageous effects compared to the prior art: (1) Pyridoxal belongs to the vitamin B6 family and functions as a coenzyme for many enzymes in the body, catalyzing numerous biotransformations as a reaction center. The pyridoxal-catalyzed addition reaction of amino acid derivatives with carbonyl compounds to prepare β-hydroxy-α-amino acid compounds is of great synthetic significance, but biomimetic simulation of this reaction has not been successful for many years. The novel chiral pyridinium salt carbonyl catalyst designed and synthesized in this invention catalyzes the biomimetic aldol reaction process of amino acid derivatives and carbonyl compounds with high activity and high stereoselectivity, enabling the efficient synthesis of chiral β-hydroxy-α-amino acid compounds. (2) The chiral pyridinium salt carbonyl catalyst of the present invention can be prepared by a multi-step reaction from inexpensive and readily available raw materials, and the reaction occurs under mild conditions, so that it is generally easy to scale up and large-scale preparation is possible. (3) The pyridinium salt carbonyl catalyst of the present invention catalyzes the biomimetic aldol reaction under very mild conditions, and the reaction is stable, the operation is easy, and the stereoselectivity and yield of the product are excellent. This makes it one of the most efficient methods for preparing optically active β-hydroxy-α-amino acid compounds. (4) The chiral β-hydroxy-α-amino acid compounds prepared by the biomimetic aldol reaction catalyzed by pyridinium salt carbonyl catalysts in this invention can be used as important intermediates in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals such as florfenicol, droxidopa, and eliglustat, providing a new green synthetic method for the synthesis of these drug molecules.

[0050] Examples 1 to 9 Catalyst (S,S)-1a and its preparation method, the reaction formula is as follows:

[0051] [ka]

[0052] The general steps are as follows: Compound (S,S)-5a (1.0 g, 2.06 mmol) and dimethyl squartate (1.46 g, 10.3 mmol) were dissolved in anhydrous methanol (10 mL) and reacted overnight at 50°C. The mixture was then concentrated and subjected to column chromatography to obtain compound (S,S)-6a (colorless oil, (0.75 g, yield 61%)). Compound (S,S)-6a (0.15 g, 0.25 mmol) and a primary amine compound (1.38 mmol) were dissolved in absolute ethanol (1.5 mL) and reacted at 42°C for 48 hours. The mixture was then concentrated and subjected to column chromatography to obtain an amide intermediate. The amide intermediate was dissolved in CH3CN (1.5 mL), and CH3I (20 equivalents of the amide intermediate) was added. After reacting at 30 °C for 8 hours, the system was concentrated and subjected to column chromatography to obtain a quaternary ammonium salt intermediate. After spin drying, tetrahydrofuran (1.5 mL) and hydrochloric acid (1.0 M, 2.0 mL) were added and reacted at 55 °C for 6 hours. After the reaction was completed, the tetrahydrofuran was spin dried, and the water was removed under vacuum with phosphorus pentoxide. The mixture was ground into powder with a teaspoon. The solid was washed with a mixture of 4 mL of Et2O and then 7 drops of tetrahydrofuran. The supernatant was removed by suction. This process was repeated three times, and the supernatant and solid were suction filtered together. The filter cake was dried to obtain catalyst (S,S)-1a.

After the reaction was completed, 3 mL of ethyl acetate was added, and the mixture was washed three times with water and once with saturated brine. The organic phase was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, suction filtered, concentrated, and subjected to column chromatography to obtain the urea intermediate. The urea intermediate was dissolved in CH3CN (1.5 mL), and CH3I (20 equivalents of thiourea) was added. After reacting at 30 °C for 8 hours, the system was concentrated and subjected to column chromatography to obtain a quaternary ammonium salt intermediate. After spin drying, tetrahydrofuran (1.5 mL) and hydrochloric acid (1.0 M, 2.0 mL) were added and reacted at 55 °C for 6 hours. After the reaction was completed, the tetrahydrofuran was spin dried, water was removed under vacuum using phosphorus pentoxide, and the solid was ground into powder using a teaspoon. The solid was washed with a mixture of 4 mL of Et2O and then 7 drops of tetrahydrofuran, and the supernatant was removed by suction. This process was repeated three times, and the supernatant and solid were suction filtered together. The filter cake was dried to obtain catalyst (S,S)-1c (a yellow-brown solid (0.0905 g, yield 49%)). Basic parameters of said compound: 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 10.31 (s, 1H), 9.90 (s, 1H), 9.32 (d, J = 10.0 Hz, 1H), 8.91 (s, 1H), 8.22 (d, J = 8.8 Hz, 1H), 8.07 (d, J = 8.4 Hz, 1H), 7.66 (d, J = 8.4 Hz, 1H), 7.62 (t, J = 8.0 Hz, 1H), 7.49 (t, J = 8.4 Hz, 1H), 7.46-7.38 (m, 2H), 7.38-7.30 (m, 4H), 7.20 (d, J= 6.8 Hz, 2H), 7.07 (t, J = 1.6 Hz, 1H), 6.24 (d, J = 9.6 Hz, 1H), 4.29 (s, 3H), 1.82 (s, 3H), 1.25 (s, 18H); 13 C NMR (100 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 188.8, 182.8, 179.8, 167.1, 164.6, 155.3, 151.6, 145.5, 140.1, 138.3, 137.7, 136.8, 136.3, 133.4, 132.2, 131.4, 130.3, 129.2, 128.4, 128.2, 127.7, 127.1, 127.0, 125.1, 124.3, 116.6, 112.7, 58.2, 47.3, 34.6, 31.1, 15.9.

[0081] (Examples 19 to 68) In this example, reaction conditions are screened for the preparation of (2R,3S) or (2S,3R)-β-hydroxy-β-(p-methylsulfonylphenyl)-α-alanine tert-butyl ester, and the general procedure for this series of examples is as follows: According to the specific requirements in Table 1, p-methylsulfonylbenzaldehyde 3a (0.2321 g, 1.26 mmol), additive (1.512 mmol), and chiral pyridinium salt carbonyl catalyst (0.00126 mmol) were weighed into a 50 mL Schlenk tube in a glovebox. Solvent (7.0 mL) was added sequentially to the Schlenk tube using a syringe at room temperature. Glycine tert-butyl ester 2a (0.4127 g, 3.15 mmol) was then added at low temperature and the reaction was continued for the required time at this temperature. After completion of the reaction, anhydrous methanol (1.0 mL) and aqueous hydroxylamine solution (1.0 mL, 50 wt% aqueous solution) were added. The reaction was continued at the reaction temperature for 1 hour, then returned to room temperature and continued for 30 minutes. The diatomaceous earth was then filtered off with suction, the organic solvent was removed, and the water was removed under vacuum using phosphorus pentoxide to obtain crude compound 4a. The NMR yield and dr values ​​of compound 4a were the same as those of the crude reaction product. 1 The ee values ​​were obtained by HPLC analysis of the oxazolidine-2-thione derivatives after reaction with 1,1'-thiocarbonyldiimidazole. The reaction equation is as follows:

[0082] [ka] Basic parameters of said compound: 4a: white solid; 1 H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.93 (d, J = 8.0 Hz, 2H), 7.60 (d, J = 8.0 Hz, 2H), 4.87 (d, J = 5.0 Hz, 1H), 3.53 (d, J = 5.0 Hz, 1H), 3.05 (s, 3H), 1.40 (s, 9H); 13 C NMR (100 MHz, CDCl3) δ 171.9, 147.8, 139.9, 127.5, 127.4, 82.4, 73.6, 60.6, 44.6, 27.9.

[0083] Table 1. Reaction conditions, yields, dr values, and ee values ​​for Examples 19 to 68 [Table 1] [Table 2] [Table 3]

[0084] Table 1 shows the reaction conditions screened. First, catalysts were screened. Examples 19-35 show that the chiral pyridinium salt carbonyl catalysts (S,S)-1a-1-15 and (S,S)-1c can all catalyze this reaction. Comparisons of the yields, dr, and ee values ​​of the reactions using (S,S)-1a-1-3, 8, 13, and 15 as catalysts were relatively good, with no significant differences, indicating that all catalysts can catalyze the reaction as preferred catalysts (Examples 19, 21, 22, 27, 32, and 34). Among these, the highest yields were (S,S)-1a-3 and (S,S)-1a-8 (86%), the highest dr values ​​were (S,S)-1a-1-3 and 13 (12:1), and the highest ee values ​​were (S,S)-1a-1 and 15 (98%). Although at least one of the three catalysts (S,S)-1a-4 to 7, 9 to 12, 14, and (S,S)-1c) performed slightly worse than the others, they all catalyzed the reaction and achieved better results. Considering the catalytic reaction results and the difficulty of catalyst preparation, (S,S)-1a-1 was ultimately selected as the lead catalyst for subsequent screening (Example 19).

[0085] Next, in screening the solvent, additive, catalyst equivalent, and reaction temperature, five solvents were screened: dichloromethane, tetrahydrofuran, toluene, methanol, and ether (Examples 36-40). Except for methanol, which failed due to the formation of acetal upon reaction with the catalyst, the others were able to achieve the reaction. Among them, tetrahydrofuran produced the highest yield, and the dr value continued to increase even after shortening the reaction time to 6 hours (Example 40). Various additives were screened: NaHPO-12H0, NaHPO (equivalents were also screened), no additive (temperature was also screened), MgSO, NaHPO, KHPO, LiHPO, and NHHPO (Examples 40-50). All of these additive conditions were able to achieve the reaction, and NHHPO produced the best results, with the yield, dr, and ee values ​​increasing simultaneously (Example 50). Regarding temperature screening, the temperature was further lowered (-40 to -20 °C, Examples 50 to 52). The reaction dr value continued to improve with decreasing temperature, but at -40 °C, the reaction time (6 to 48 hours) had to be extended, and the ee value slightly decreased. At -30 °C, the dr value was slightly lower, but it exceeded 20:1. Subsequently, catalysts were screened again at this temperature (Examples 52 to 63). It was again found that catalyst (S,S)-1a-1 was most effective, with a slightly lower dr value but the highest ee value. Therefore, Example 52 was finally selected as the reaction condition for substrate expansion. We also attempted to reduce the catalyst equivalent (0.01 to 0.1 mol%) and screen the temperature (-30 to -10 °C, Examples 64 to 68). The reduction was at least 1 / 10,000, and when the reaction time (24-72 hours) was extended to 72 hours at -20°C, 3.22 g of product was obtained from 1 mg of catalyst, and the dr and ee values ​​of these products maintained good results (15:1 / 98%).

[0086] (Examples 69 to 87) In this example, the reaction conditions for the preparation of (2R,3S) or (2S,3R)-β-hydroxy-β-(4-biphenylyl)-α-alanine tert-butyl ester are screened, and the general procedure of this example is as follows: According to the specific requirements in Table 2, p-phenylbenzaldehyde 3af (0.2293 g, 1.26 mmol), additive (1.512 mmol), solid base (1.89 mmol), and chiral pyridinium salt carbonyl catalyst (0.00126 mmol) were weighed into a 50 mL Schlenk tube in a glovebox. Solvent (6.0 mL) and liquid base (1.89 mmol) were sequentially added to the Schlenk tube using a syringe at room temperature. Glycine tert-butyl ester 2a (0.4127 g, 3.15 mmol) was then added at low temperature and allowed to react for the required time. After completion of the reaction, anhydrous methanol (1.0 mL) and aqueous hydroxylamine solution (1.0 mL, 50 wt% aqueous solution) were added. The reaction was continued at room temperature for 1 hour, then cooled to room temperature and continued for 30 minutes. The diatomaceous earth was then filtered off with suction, the organic solvent was removed, and the water was removed under vacuum with phosphorus pentoxide to give crude compound 4af. The NMR yield and dr values ​​of compound 4af were the same as those of the crude reaction product. 1 The ee values ​​were obtained by HPLC analysis of the oxazolidine-2-thione derivatives after reaction with 1,1'-thiocarbonyldiimidazole. The reaction equation is as follows:

[0087] [ka] Basic parameters of said compound: 4af: white solid; 1 H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.65-7.57 (m, 4H), δ 7.51-7.42 (m, 4H), 7.37 (t, J = 7.2 Hz, 1H), 4.82 (d, J = 5.4 Hz, 1H), 3.59 (d, J= 5.4 Hz, 1H), 1.39 (s, 9H). 13C NMR (100 MHz, CDCl3) δ 172.5, 140.9, 140.8, 140.1, 128.8, 127.3, 127.1, 127.1, 127.0, 81.9, 74.4, 61.0, 27.9.

[0088] Table 2: Bases, yields, dr values ​​and ee values ​​in reaction screening of Examples 69 to 87 [Table 4]

[0089] Table 2 shows the reaction conditions screened. In Examples 69-75, five bases, Na3PO4, K3PO4, Cs2CO3, DIPEA, and Et3N, were compared (Examples 69-73), and Et3N was found to be the base that produced the best results. The reaction time and catalyst type were also screened (Examples 73-75). Reducing the reaction time (20-48 hours) improved the reaction selectivity, and the catalytic effect of (S,S)-1a-1 was found to be the best compared to (S,S)-1a-5. The temperature was then lowered to -20°C (-20 to -5°C) to screen solvents. Dichloromethane, chloroform, toluene, methanol, acetonitrile, and tetrahydrofuran were screened (Examples 76-81). Except for methanol, which showed very poor reaction efficiency, the other solvents showed good effects, with tetrahydrofuran showing the best effect (Example 81). We then screened the catalyst equivalent (0.1-0.5 mol%, Examples 81-83). We found that good yields could be maintained even when the equivalent was reduced by a factor of 1,000. Furthermore, the dr value improved as the equivalent decreased. Finally, we screened the temperature (-40 to -20°C, Examples 83-86). The dr and ee values ​​increased as the temperature decreased. A comparison of Examples 84 and 85 again demonstrated that the dr value decreased over time (24-48 hours). In Example 87, after adding NaH2PO4, the ee value of the reaction increased to 99%, ultimately determining the reaction conditions for substrate expansion.

[0090] (Examples 88 to 113) In this example, the reaction conditions for the preparation of (2R,3S) or (2S,3R)-β-hydroxy-β-(n-nonyl)-α-alanine tert-butyl ester are screened, and the general procedure of this example is as follows: According to the specific requirements in Table 3, NH4H2PO4 and chiral pyridinium salt carbonyl catalyst were weighed into a 50 mL Schlenk tube in a glove box. Tetrahydrofuran, decanal 3bb (0.1969 g, 1.26 mmol), and triethylamine were added sequentially to the Schlenk tube using a syringe at -30°C. After stirring for 20 minutes at -30°C, glycine tert-butyl ester 2a was added dropwise at low temperature and the reaction was continued for the required time at this temperature. After the reaction was complete, anhydrous methanol (1.0 mL) and aqueous hydroxylamine solution (1.0 mL, 50 wt% aqueous solution) were added and the reaction was continued for 1 hour at the reaction temperature. After returning to room temperature, the reaction was continued for 30 minutes. The diatomaceous earth was then filtered off with suction, the organic solvent was removed, and the water was removed under vacuum using phosphorus pentoxide to obtain the crude product of compound 4bb. The NMR yield and dr values ​​of compound 4bb were the same as those of the crude reaction product. 1 The ee values ​​were obtained by HPLC analysis of the oxazolidine-2-thione derivatives after reaction with 1,1'-thiocarbonyldiimidazole. The reaction scheme is as follows:

[0091] [ka] Basic parameters of said compound: 4bb: Yellow oil; 1 H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 3.70-3.62 (m, 1H), 3.22 (d, J = 5.2 Hz, 1H), 2.06 (brs, 3H), 1.52-1.49 (m, 1H), 1.48 (s, 9H), 1.46-1.44 (m, 1H), 1.34-1.22 (m, 14H), 0.87 (t, J = 6.8 Hz, 3H). 13C NMR (100 MHz, CDCl3) δ 173.7, 81.8, 72.3, 59.0, 34.2, 32.0, 29.8, 29.7, 29.7, 29.4, 28.2, 25.8, 22.8, 14.2.

[0092] Table 3: Bases, yields, dr values ​​and ee values ​​in reaction screening of Examples 88 to 113 [Table 5] [Table 6]

[0093] Table 3 shows the reaction conditions screened. In Examples 88-91, the temperature was screened, and the reaction results gradually improved as the temperature decreased (-40 to -10°C), with -30°C being the most effective. In Examples 92-94, the equivalents of glycine tert-butyl ester (1.2 to 4.0) were screened, and 2.0 equivalents was again found to be the most effective. In Examples 95-98, the reaction time was shortened (24 to 48 hours) and the base equivalents (1.5 to 3.0) were screened. 2.0 equivalents was found to be the most effective, and results could be maintained even if the time was halved. In Examples 99-103, the equivalents of NH4H2PO4 (0.6 to 2.0) were screened, and it was found that there was no significant difference in effectiveness between 0.8 and 1.2 equivalents. Ultimately, 1.0 equivalent was selected for subsequent screening. In Examples 104-106, catalyst equivalents (0.1-1.0 mol%) were screened. As the catalyst equivalent increased, selectivity remained unchanged and yield gradually increased. However, there was no significant difference between the results for 5 / 1000 and 20 / 1000, so screening continued at 5 / 1000. In Examples 107-110, concentrations (solvent volume 6-20 mL) were screened. As the concentration decreased, yield gradually increased and DR gradually decreased. It was found that the reaction results were best when the solvent volume was 12-15 mL, so screening continued at 12 mL. In Examples 111 and 112, catalyst equivalents (0.1-0.5 mol%) were screened again at this concentration. It was found that the reaction results were maintained even when reduced to 2 / 1000, while the yield decreased at 1 / 1000. Finally, in Example 113, the method of adding glycine tert-butyl ester and solvent was changed under the 2 / 1000 catalyst condition, and the reaction conditions for substrate expansion were finally determined.

[0094] (Examples 114 to 1905) In this example, the arylaldehyde and alkylaldehyde substrates applicable to the preparation of chiral β-hydroxy-α-amino acid derivatives catalyzed by pyridoxal quaternary ammonium salts were expanded. The general procedures for this example are as follows (General Method 1 was used in Examples 114-116, 130, 136, and 143; General Method 2 was used in Examples 150-175; General Method 3 was used in Examples 117-129, 131-135, 137-142, 144-149, and 176-182; and General Method 4 was used in Examples 183-1905).

Tetrahydrofuran (7.0 mL) was then added to the Schlenk tube via syringe at room temperature, and the glycine derivative 2 (3.15 mmol) was added at -30 °C. The reaction was carried out at this temperature for 10 h. After the reaction was completed, anhydrous methanol (1.0 mL) and aqueous hydroxylamine solution (1.0 mL, 50 wt% aqueous solution) were added, and the reaction was continued at -30°C for 10 minutes, then at -20°C for 50 minutes. After returning to room temperature and reaction for 30 minutes, the diatomaceous earth was filtered off with suction, the organic solvent was removed, and water was removed under vacuum with phosphorus pentoxide to obtain a crude chiral β-hydroxy-α-amino acid derivative. The NMR yield and dr value of the product were 1 The ee values ​​were obtained by HPLC analysis of the oxazolidine-2-thione derivatives after reaction with 1,1'-thiocarbonyldiimidazole. General method 2 (aromatic aldehydes with strong electron-donating, weak electron-withdrawing, and weak electron-donating substituents): In a glovebox, the aromatic aldehyde (1.26 mmol), the chiral pyridinium salt carbonyl catalyst (R,R)-1a-1 (0.001 g, 0.00126 mmol), and NaH2PO4 (0.1814 g, 1.512 mmol) were weighed into a 50 mL Schlenk tube. Tetrahydrofuran (6.0 mL) and triethylamine (0.263 mL, 1.89 mmol) were then added sequentially to the Schlenk tube using a syringe at room temperature. Glycine derivative 2 (3.15 mmol) was then added at -40 °C, and the reaction was carried out at this temperature for 48 h. After the reaction was completed, anhydrous methanol (1.0 mL) and aqueous hydroxylamine solution (1.0 mL, 50 wt% aqueous solution) were added, and the reaction was continued at -40°C for 10 minutes, then at -20°C for 50 minutes. After returning to room temperature and reaction for 30 minutes, the diatomaceous earth was filtered off with suction, the organic solvent was removed, and water was removed under vacuum with phosphorus pentoxide to obtain a crude chiral β-hydroxy-α-amino acid derivative. The NMR yield and dr value of the product were 1 The ee values ​​were obtained by HPLC analysis of the oxazolidine-2-thione derivatives after reaction with 1,1'-thiocarbonyldiimidazole. General Method 3 (Alkyl Aldehyde): In a glovebox, alkyl aldehyde (1.26 mmol), NH4H2PO4 (0.145 g, 1.26 mmol), and chiral pyridinium salt carbonyl catalyst (R,R)-1a-1 (0.00252 mmol) were weighed into a 50 mL Schlenk tube. Tetrahydrofuran (7.0 mL) was then added sequentially to the Schlenk tube using a syringe at room temperature. The mixture was stirred at -30 °C for 20 min, and then glycine derivative 2 (3.15 mmol, dissolved in 0.5 mL of tetrahydrofuran and frozen at -30 °C for 30 min) was quickly added using a syringe. The reaction was continued at this temperature for 20 min. After the reaction was completed, anhydrous methanol (1.0 mL) and aqueous hydroxylamine solution (1.0 mL, 50 wt% aqueous solution) were added, and the reaction was continued at -30°C for 10 minutes, then at -20°C for 50 minutes. After returning to room temperature and reaction for 30 minutes, the diatomaceous earth was filtered off with suction, the organic solvent was removed, and water was removed under vacuum with phosphorus pentoxide to obtain a crude chiral β-hydroxy-α-amino acid derivative. The NMR yield and dr value of the product were 1 The ee values ​​were obtained by HPLC analysis of the oxazolidine-2-thione derivatives after reaction with 1,1'-thiocarbonyldiimidazole. General method 4 (high-throughput synthesis): A module capable of accommodating 20 threaded test tubes for simultaneous reactions was customized, and the module was placed in a low-temperature reactor to perform the reactions. In a glove box, aromatic aldehyde (0.315 mmol), NH4H2PO4 (43.5 mg, 0.378 mmol) or NaH2PO4 (45.3 mg, 0.378 mmol), and chiral pyridinium salt carbonyl catalyst (S,S)-1a-1 or (R,R)-1a-1 (0.5 mg in 1.0 mL THF, 0.00063 mmol) were weighed into a vial. The sealed vial was removed from the glove box and placed at −40 °C. Glycine tert-butyl ester (82.5 mg, 0.63 mmol) or a mixture of glycine tert-butyl ester and triethylamine (66 μL, 0.4725 mmol) was then added via syringe and the reaction was continued at −40 °C for 48 h.
