Synthesis of R- and S-MDMA via nucleophilic ring-opening of homochiral N-tosylaziridines

چکیده
Homochiral (R)- and (S)-3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) were prepared in six steps (each) from the chiral pool precursors d- l-alanine, respectively. The key step, copper-catalysed regioselective ring-opening of an N-tosylaziridine with aryl Grignard reagent, proceeded high yield complete regioselectivity. Elaboration was achieved preservation configurational integrity, affording R- S-MDMA hydrochlorides enantiopurities >99.5%, as determined by enantioselective HPLC fluorescence detection. Attempts to apply synthetic methodology synthesis homochiral enantiomers α-phenyl analogue MDMA (UWA-001) thwarted a switch regioselectivity step.

Phosphonated derivatives of trifluoromethyl aziridine were obtained with good yield from aziridine-2-carbaldehyde by two distinct methods, which resulted in different diastereoselectivities. Using thiols as nucleophiles ring opening reactions of trifluoromethylated derivatives of aziridine-2-phosphonates proceeded regio- and diastereoselectively, giving rise to γ-amino-γ-trifluoromethyl phospho...

متن کاملUnexplored nucleophilic ring opening of aziridines.
The reactivity of dianions of carboxylic acids towards aziridines has been studied. Although, a similar reactivity to that of enolates from ketones, esters or amides has been observed, the method directly yields γ-aminoacids in one step. The method is complementary of previous results of enenediolate reactivity with other electrophiles. A comparative study with the reactivity of this enediolate...

A tandem ring-opening reaction of N-tosylaziridines with terminal alkynoates promoted by Et(3)N has been described. A variety of N-tosylaziridines reacted with terminal alkynoates to give functionalized enamines in moderate to good yields under simple reaction conditions.
