β¦ Synopsis
An efficient method for the synthesis of novel aromatic substituted, bulky and hydrophobic tryptophan derivatives has been developed. Asymmetric hydrogenations of a-enamide 5 using Burk's DuPHOS-based catalysts generated high enantiomerically pure D-and L-a-amino acid derivatives 6, which subsequently underwent Suzuki cross couplings with boronic acid derivatives to afford aromatic substituted tryptophan derivatives 7 and 8 in high yields. The method can allow for the preparation of such amino acids in large-scales for extensive structure-activity studies.
