Abstract
The first enantio- and diastereoselective synthesis of Tepe's human proteasome modulator is described. Routes to this and other highly substituted chiral imidazolines generally produce racemic material. Key to the route disclosed here is a gram-scale anti-selective aza-Henry reaction of an α-alkyl α-nitro ester nucleophile, catalyzed by a Bis(Amidine) [BAM] chiral proton complex, delivering the key intermediate in high yield as a single stereoisomer. The adduct is reduced to the amino ester and converted to an imidazoline.
