Abstract
AbstractIn order to synthesize optically active amino acids containing the adamantane core, an enantioselective desymmetrization of adamantanes via rhodium‐catalyzed C−H bond amination was examined. After investigating various conditions, it was found that the coupling reaction between disubstituted adamantane and aryloxysulfonamide was catalyzed by Rh2(S‐TCPTTL)4 to furnish the desired products having up to 85% ee (e.r.=92.4: 7.6) (>99% ee after recrystallization). The synthetic utility of the enantioenriched products as chiral building blocks was demonstrated by transforming one of them into a dipeptide derivative and a Schiff‐base ligand. The absolute configuration of one of the amino acid derivatives was determined unambiguously by X‐ray single‐crystal structure analysis.magnified image
