Abstract
A direct and asymmetric triisopropylsilyltrifluoromethanesulfonate (TIPSOTf) mediated aldol reaction of N-azidoacetyl-1,3-thiazolidine-2-thione with aromatic aldehydes catalyzed by a chiral nickel(II)-Tol-BINAP complex has been developed (BINAP=2,2'-bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1'-binaphthyl). The catalytic protocol gives the corresponding anti α-azido-β-silyloxy adducts with outstanding stereocontrol and in high yields. Theoretical calculations account for the stereochemical outcome of the reaction and lay the foundations for a mechanistic model. In turn, the easy removal of the thiazolidinethione yields a wide array of enantiomerically pure derivatives in a straightforward and efficient manner. Such a noteworthy character of the heterocyclic scaffold together with the appropriate manipulation of the azido group open a new route to the synthesis of di- and tripeptide blocks containing a β-aryl-β-hydroxy-α-amino acid.
