Abstract

The highly diastereoselective samarium diiodide and D2O-promoted conjugate reduction of homochiral (E)-and (Z)-benzylidene and isobutylidene diketopiperazines (E)-5, 7 and (Z)-6, 8 has been demonstrated. This methodology allows the asymmetric synthesis of methyl (2S, 3R)-dideuteriophenylalanine 27 in≥ 95% de and> 98% ee, and (2S, 3R)-or (2S, 3S)- dideuterioleucine-(S)-phenylalanine dipeptides 37 and 38 in moderate de, 66% and 74% ...
