近日,武漢大學化學與分子科學學院Chun-Jiang Wang課題組的研究顯示,利用布朗斯特酸/光氧化還原協同催化,可實現可見光介導的對映體歸一胺基酸衍生物的合成。該研究於2020年11月20日發表於《德國應用化學》雜誌。
該工作中,在Brønsted酸和光氧化還原的協同催化下,甘氨酸酯和外消旋α‐溴酮之間實現了前所未有的自由基交叉偶聯反應,為合成高價值對映體豐富的非天然胺基酸衍生物提供了一個有效的平臺。這種雙重催化提供了一種強大的能力來控制反應自由基中間體和亞胺離子,從而以一種高度立體化學的方式實現對映體歸一的鍵形成。一系列有價值的富含對映體的非天然α-胺基酸衍生物(帶有兩個毗連的立體生成中心)容易獲得,且具有高非對映選擇性和出色對映選擇性,包括帶有獨特β-氟化四元立體中心的α-胺基酸或者其β-全碳對應物。
值得注意的是,研究人員在這種雙催化體系中觀察到強烈的手性放大效應。
據介紹,富含對映體的非天然胺基酸是有機合成的重要組成部分,通過增強肽的功能在藥物和生物材料中發揮重要作用。

Abstract: Enantioenriched unnatural α‐amino acids are significant building blocks for organic synthesis and play an essential role in pharmaceuticals and biological materials by augmenting the functions of peptides. An unprecedented radical cross‐coupling reaction was achieved between glycine esters and racemic α‐bromoketones catalyzed by synergistic Brønsted acid/photoredox catalysis , thus serving as an efficient platform for the synthesis of highly valuable enantioenriched unnatural α‐amino acid derivatives. This dual catalysis provides a powerful capability to control the reactive radical intermediate and iminium ion, thereby enabling enantioconvergent bond‐formation in a highly stereochemical manner. An array of valuable enantioenriched unnatural α‐amino acid derivatives bearing two contiguous stereogenic centers are readily accessible with high diastereoselectivity and excellent enantioselectivity, which include α‐amino acids with a unique β‐fluorinated quaternary stereocenter or its β‐all‐carbon counterpart. Notably, a strong chiral amplification effect was observed in this dual catalytic system..
