This report describes the enantioselective direct-aldol reaction of alpha-imino esters with glyoxylate esters using a catalytic amount of Co(OAc)(2)-pybox complex. The reaction achieved good yield and enantioselectivity. The N-Boc-protected amino acid derivatives were obtained through hydrolysis of the imine moiety and Boc protection of the aldol products.
The beta-hydroxy-alpha,alpha-disubstituted alpha-amino acid is a valuable structural motif for research in the field of bioorganic chemistry and in the development of peptide drugs. This report describes the enantioselective direct-aldol reaction of alpha-imino esters with glyoxylate esters. We discovered that a catalytic amount of Co(OAc)(2)-pybox complex catalyzed the aldol reaction of salicylaldehyde-derived alpha-imino esters with benzyl glyoxylate in good yield and enantioselectivity. In addition, hydrolysis of the imine moiety of the aldol products followed by Boc protection of the resultant amino group gave the N-Boc-protected amino acid derivatives. (C) 2022 Elsevier Ltd.
