Abstract

Stereoselective synthesis of two 3-aminodeoxystatine derivatives was achieved. Chiral γ-amino-α,β-unsaturated esters containing an N-aminomethyl group undergo the stereoselective conjugate addition with an internal carbamate or amide nitrogen nucleophile. The diastereoselectivity was about 10:1 by 1H NMR. Thus, the 3-aminodeoxystatine derivatives were prepared from commercially available N-Boc-l-leucine in nine steps in overall yields of 26% and 20% for the benzyl carbamate and the acetamide derivatives, respectively.
