Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of organic compound synthesis technology, and in particular to a chiral α-amino alcohol compound, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Amino alcohols are ubiquitous in many natural products, serving as important components and forming the basic structural framework of many drug and biomolecules. Surveys show that over 300,000 compounds and more than 2,000 natural products approved by food and drug regulatory authorities contain α-amino alcohol fragments. Chiral amino alcohols can also be used as organic catalysts, frequently acting as highly efficient chiral inducing catalysts in the asymmetric addition reactions of alkyl zinc reagents and aldehydes. They are also ideal chiral catalytic building blocks in asymmetric catalytic reactions involving transition metals. Furthermore, asymmetric metal catalysts coordinated with transition metal ions can be prepared using chiral amino alcohols.

[0003] Currently reported methods for synthesizing chiral 1,2-amino alcohols with N-α-C derived alkyl chains are mainly based on the synthetic routes developed by Reisman, such as... Figure 1 As shown (see reference J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2017, 139, 5684-5687).

[0004] This method uses N-tert-butylchiral sulfonylimide as a chiral framework, which then undergoes a nucleophilic reaction with a secondary alkyl Grignard reagent. Chiral induction yields a single-configuration product, followed by removal of the protecting group to obtain a chiral amino alcohol. Simultaneously, they derivatized this chiral amino alcohol to obtain a bixazoline ligand with an optical purity (ee value) as high as 99%. While this method is easy to prepare in large quantities and superior to the most advanced methods for preparing amino acids or amino alcohols from alkylene hydrogenation, it requires the preparation of different types of secondary alkyl Grignard reagents. Furthermore, the synthesis of secondary alkyl Grignard reagents is more difficult than that of primary alkyl Grignard reagents, and the types of ketones that can be used to prepare secondary alkyl halides are limited, thus restricting the substrates. Additionally, this synthetic route suffers from a long synthesis cycle and low overall yield. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art by providing a chiral α-amino alcohol compound, its preparation method, and its applications. This invention utilizes Boc-L-serine methyl ester as a chiral source, and uses 2,2-dimethoxypropane for ring closure protection of the amino and hydroxyl groups. A readily available primary Grignard reagent reacts with Boc-L-serine methyl ester via a nucleophilic reaction to generate a hydroxyl group. The hydroxyl group can then be eliminated to form a double bond with the participation of a Burgess reagent. Finally, palladium carbon-hydrogen reduces the double bond to obtain the α-amino alcohol precursor. After deprotection under acidic conditions, the α-amino alcohol modified with an N-α-C secondary alkyl chain is obtained. This α-amino alcohol compound is optically active and can be used for the synthesis of nitrogen-containing chiral ligands, showing promise for widespread application in the synthesis of nitrogen-containing chiral ligands in the field of asymmetric synthesis.
