Abstract

AbstractThe stereoselective conjugate addition of (S)‐(–)‐1‐(trimethylsilylamino)‐2‐(methoxymethyl)pyrrolidine (TMS‐SAMP) to ω‐halide‐substituted α,β‐unsaturated esters 1 is utilized to prepare carbocyclic and heterocyclic β‐amino acids 2 and 5 of high diastereo‐ and enantiomeric purity via the corresponding β‐hydrazino esters by selective intramolecular alkylation of the intermediate ester enolate or the hydrazino moiety. The auxiliary is removed by reductive NN bond cleavage. The stereochemistry of the resulting trans‐2‐aminocycloalkanecarboxylic acids (2) and azacycloalk‐2‐ylacetic acid esters (5) is confirmed by NMR spectroscopy and polarimetry. A transition‐state model for the highly diastereoselective conjugate addition of TMS‐SAMP to enoates is presented.
