The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

Copper-catalysed reaction of the serine-derived zinc reagent 1 with allylic electrophiles gives products arising formally from both SN2 and SN2′ pathways. These constitutional isomers can be separated, either directly, or in the case of (2S)-2-tert-butoxycarbonylamino-6-methylhept-5-enoic acid methyl ester (11) and (2S)-2-tert-butoxycarbonylamino-4,4-dimethylhex-5-enoic acid methyl ester (12) by selective epoxidation of 11. Hydrogenation of the double bond, followed by protecting group manipulation, allows the synthesis of the Fmoc-protected amino acids 3-7 ready for automated peptide synthesis. © The Royal Society of Chemistry 2000.
