General description

N-(Diphenylmethylene)aminoacetonitrile is a synthon for a variety of amino acids via phase-transfer-catalyzed alkylation and hydrolysis.

Application

N-(Diphenylmethylene)aminoacetonitrile has been used in:
  • synthesis of ring-substituted phenylalanine amides and o-carboranylalanine, a potential analog of phenylalanine
  • a key enantiodifferentiating step in concise synthesis of dehydrocoronamic acid ethyl ester
  • synthesis of γ-amino acid esters

A convenient approach to the synthesis of ring-substituted phenylalanine amides is described. Phase transfer alkylation of N-(diphenylmethylene)amino acetonitrile or N-(diphenylmethylene)glycine ethyl ester provides alpha-substituted imines 2 and 6. After acid hydrolysis and esterification, resolution with alpha-chymotrypsin provided 3'-substituted phenylalanine analogs
