Abstract
Chiral tertiary alpha-hydroxy esters of known stereochemical configuration were transformed to alpha-azido esters by Mitsunobu reaction with HN3. Optimization of this reaction was shown to proceed at room temperature with high chemical yield using 1,1-(azodicarbonyl)dipiperidine (ADDP) and trimethylphosphine (PMe3). Complete inversion of configuration was observed at the alpha-carbon. Several alpha,alpha-disubstituted amino acids were synthesized in high overall chemical yield and optical purity.Entities:
