abstract

  • AbstractThe Claisen rearrangement of the N‐protected, silylated allyl glycinates 11 and 12 led to the formation of allyl/silyl‐functionalized amino acids 13 and 14 in yields up to 80%. The diastereoisomer ratio varied from 2 : 1 to 29 : 1 for 11mb, and from 2 : 1 to 46 : 1 (syn/anti) for 12mb, depending on reaction conditions, as shown by X‐ray crystallographic analysis of 14mb. The relationship between the size of the alkyl groups on the chlorosilane reagent (Me2R″SiCl, R″=Cl, Me, t‐Bu, Ph) used as an enolate trap and the observed stereoselectivity was investigated in the case of the Ireland–Claisen variant. Me3SiCl gave the best results. However, the size of the alkyl groups on the silylated ester (Me2R″Si, R=Me, t‐Bu, Ph, i‐Pr) did not exert a significant effect on the diastereoselectivity or yield of the rearrangement.
