Abstract
The Passerini reaction was conducted using N-Boc-L-phenylalaninal and a variety of achiral or chiral acids and isocyanides to prepare a library of 27 Passerini products. Reaction diastereoselectivity varied between 1.7:1 and 2.5:1 and in most cases isolation of the individual diastereomers was possible. Passerini products were subjected to a deprotection and acyl migration sequence to give a library of peptidomimetic α-hydroxy-β-acylaminoamides in generally excellent yield. Single crystal X-ray analysis of two of the final products enabled identification of the major diastereomer as having an (R) configuration at the newly-formed stereogenic centre, which corresponds to anti-Felkin-Anh addition of the isocyanide to the aldehyde.
