Abstract

The Garner aldehyde-derived methylene alkene 5 and the corresponding benzyloxycarbonyl compound 25 undergo hydroboration with 9-BBN-H followed by palladium-catalyzed Suzuki coupling reactions with aryl and vinyl halides. After one-pot hydrolysis-oxidation, a range of known and novel nonproteinogenic amino acids were isolated as their N-protected derivatives. These novel organoborane homoalanine anion equivalents are generated and transformed under mild conditions and with wide functional group tolerance: electron-rich and -poor aromatic iodides and bromides (and a vinyl bromide) all undergo efficient. Suzuki coupling. The extension of this methodology to prepare meso-DAP, R,R-DAP, and R,R-DAS is also described.
