The base-promoted α-alkylation of N-((S)-1-phenylethyl)azetidine-2-carboxylic acid esters 1 was investigated. The use of diastereomerically pure borane complexes 3 as substrates, which are easily prepared from 1, dramatically improved the yields and diastereoselectivities of α-alkylated products 2. For example, the treatment of tert-butyl ester (1S,2S,1′S)-3a with 2.4 equivalents of lithium bis(trimethysilyl)amide (LiHMDS) at 0 °C followed by 2.6 equivalents of benzyl bromide afforded α-benzylated (2S,1′S)-2aa in 90% yield as almost a single diastereomer. Our method enables the production of optically active α-substituted azetidine-2-carboxylic acid esters starting from commercially available (S)-1-phenylethylamine, which is one of the least expensive chiral compounds.

Organic & Biomolecular Chemistry

Organic & Biomolecular Chemistry (OBC) publishes original and high impact research and reviews in organic chemistry. We welcome research that shows new or significantly improved protocols or methodologies in total synthesis, synthetic methodology or physical and theoretical organic chemistry as well as research that shows a significant advance in the organic chemistry or molecular design aspects of chemical biology, catalysis, supramolecular and macromolecular chemistry, theoretical chemistry, mechanism-oriented physical organic chemistry, medicinal chemistry or natural products. Articles published in the journal should report new work which makes a highly-significant impact in the field. Routine and incremental work is generally not suitable for publication in the journal. More details about key areas of our scope are below. In all cases authors should include in their article clear rationale for why their research has been carried out.
