摘要

The synthesis of (-)-(R)-7-azatryptophan (2) from commercially available 7-azaindole (4) is described. The key step involved the diastereoselective alkylation of tert-butyl [(1 R, 4 R)- bornylideneamino] acetate (3) with 1-(tert-butyloxycarbonyl-3-(iodomethyl)-7-azaindole (19) derived from 3-formyl-7-azaindole (14). The alkylation, conducted at-100° C in a THF/HMPA solvent using potassium hexamethyldisilazide as the base, afforded 7 in greater than 98% ...
