General description

Di-tert-butyl azodicarboxylate is a an acid labile reagent for Mitsunobu reactions allowing facile isolation of products and for the electrophilic amination and hydrazination of enolates and lithium alkyls.

Application

Reactant for:
  • Preparation of hexapeptide key fragments via stereoselective selenocyclization/oxidative deselenylation or hydrazination/cyclization reactions
  • Asymmetric Michael addition reactions
  • Preparation of dipeptidyl peptidase IV dependent water-soluble prodrugs via Mitsunobu reaction
  • Synthesis of pyrroloisoquinoline template via stereoselective N-acyliminium-mediated cyclization and enolate amination for synthesis of peptidomimetic compounds
  • Barbier-type propargylation reactions
  • Synthesis of bacterial peptide deformylase (PDF) inhibitor fumimycin
  • Asymmetric amination of glycine Schiff bases

We report the first example of catalytic asymmetric direct amination of α-monosubstituted nitroacetates using di-tert-butyl azodicarboxylate. The simple and easily available Hatakeyama's catalyst β-ICD 11 was found to be a highly enantioselective catalyst for this reaction.
