Abstract:
A stereoselective synthetic strategy for the preparation of trifluoromethylamine mimics of retro-thiorphan, involving a diastereoselective, metal-free catalytic step, has been studied in batch and afforded the target molecule in good yields and high diastereoselectivity. A crucial point of the synthetic sequence was the catalytic reduction of a fluorinated enamine with trichlorosilane as reducing agent in the presence of a chiral Lewis base. The absolute configuration of the key intermediate was unambiguously assigned by X-ray analysis. The synthesis was also investigated exploiting continuous flow reactions; that is, an advanced intermediate of the target molecule was synthesized in only two in-flow synthetic modules, avoiding isolation and purifications of intermediates, leading to the isolation of the target chiral fluorinated amine in up to an 87:13 diastereoisomeric ratio.
