我们提出了一种用醇对未受保护的氨基酸进行 N-烷基化的方法,具有优异的收率和立体化学保留。 N-烷基氨基酸作为高价值、可再生的结构单元得到广泛应用。然而,获得这些物质的传统合成方法受到严重限制,这给开发可持续替代品带来了重大挑战。我们报告了第一个用醇对未保护的 α-氨基酸进行直接 N-烷基化的强大催化策略。该方法具有高度选择性,产生水作为唯一的副产物,从而使纯化过程简单,并且多种 α-氨基酸被单-或二-N-烷基化,在大多数情况下具有出色的光学纯度保留。产品的疏水性是可调的,甚至简单的肽也可以选择性地烷基化。还描述了使用可再生脂肪醇制备单-N-烷基氨基酸的铁催化路线,这代表了获得完全生物基表面活性剂的理想绿色转型。
We present a method for N-alkylation of unprotected amino acids with alcohols with excellent yield and stereochemistry retention. N-alkyl amino acids find widespread application as highly valuable, renewable building blocks. However, traditional synthesis methodologies to obtain these suffer from serious limitations, providing a major challenge to develop sustainable alternatives. We report the first powerful catalytic strategy for the direct N-alkylation of unprotected α-amino acids with alcohols. This method is highly selective, produces water as the only side product leading to a simple purification procedure, and a variety of α-amino acids are mono- or di-N-alkylated, in most cases with excellent retention of optical purity. The hydrophobicity of the products is tunable, and even simple peptides are selectively alkylated. An iron-catalyzed route to mono-N-alkyl amino acids using renewable fatty alcohols is also described that represents an ideal green transformation for obtaining fully bio-based surfactants.
