Abstract
A simple approach to several derivatives of pipecolic acid is via a multicomponent reaction starting from cyclic imines 2, which are synthesized on a large scale and with different substitution patterns. The protected amino acids 3 are formed in high yields. In cases where chiral imines are used the target compounds are obtained with remarkable diastereoselectivity. Bisamides 3 serve as versatile precursors for the preparation of a wide range of amino acid derivatives. Different methods of hydrolysis of 3 lead to the free pipecolic acids or its derivatives. Employment of methanol or ethanethiol as a nucleophile in the acid-mediated conversion of enamides 3 results in N-acylated amino acid esters 5. Furthermore a method for the resolution of the obtained racemic α-amino acids via diastereomeric salt formation is described.
