Abstract

(3R)-3-[N-(tert-Butoxycarbonyl) amino]-4-(2, 4, 5-trifluorophenyl) butanoic acid 7a has been synthesized by an asymmetric hydrogenation of enamine ester 3 using chiral ferrocenyl ligands I and II in conjunction with [Rh (COD) Cl] 2. The direct reduction of 3 provides amino ester 1b in 93% ee, which was isolated as an (S)-camphorsulfonic acid salt to upgrade the enantiomeric excess to> 99%. A more concise approach was developed involving the in ...
