    Novel stereoselective syntheses of (2E,4E)-4-(4,4-dimethylpent-2-ynylidene)-N1,N5-dimethyl-N1,N5-bis(naphthalen-1-ylmethyl)pent-2-ene-1,5-diamine

    We report two different synthetic approaches for the stereoselective synthesis of (2E,4E)-4-(4,4-dimethylpent- 2-ynylidene)-N1,N5-dimethyl-N1,N5-bis(naphthalen-1-ylmethyl)pent-2-ene-1,5-diamine 1, an important impurity-reference standard for the chemical characterization of terbinafine. The diamine 1 was obtained in only six steps with a good overall yield starting from commercially available glutaconic acid

    We describe a fast and practical enantioselective synthesis of (S)-N-Cbz-a-vinyl, phenylalanine, suitable for the preparation of different N-Cbz-a-vinyl aminoacids of both configurations. The new protocol exploits a Wittig reaction on highly enantiomeric enriched N-Cbz-a-formyl-a-alkyl amino esters, readily accessible from (L)-serine through a stereoselective alkylation of Seebach’s oxazolidine, carried out with a significant improvement of the previously reported method. The synthetic scheme is suitable for gram scale preparation of the desired product with a 94% e

    Stereoselective Pd-catalyzed synthesis of quaternary a-C-D-mannosyl-(S)-amino acids

    In this paper, we report the stereoselective synthesis of α-d-C-mannosyl-(S)-amino acids exploiting, as a key step, an allylic alkylation of glycal-derived π-allyl Pd(II) intermediates, prepared by oxidative addition of Pd(0) species to 2,3-unsaturated pyranosides (pseudoglycals). The reaction of 4,6-di-O-acetyl α-pseudoglucal carbonate 10a with racemic alanine-, valine-, and phenylalanine-derived azlactones gave the corresponding (4S)-4-α-d-C-mannosyl-2-phenyloxazol-5(4H)-ones as the major diastereoisomers in high yields. The final α-d-C-mannosyl-(S)-amino acids were obtained in a few steps comprising highly diastereoselective dihydroxylation of the glucal derivative double bond followed by the one-pot hydrolysis of the benzamido and acetate protecting groups. Main features of this method are the conciseness of the synthetic sequence, the high diastereoselection of the allylic alkylation step, the use of racemic α-amino acids as starting material, and the good overall yields
