Popis: The synthesis of pipecolic acid and homopipecolic acid derivatives was developed from ω-(2-aminophenyl)-1-chloroalkyl p -tolyl sulfoxides by treatment with i -PrMgCl. An intramolecular nucleophilic substitution reaction of a magnesium carbenoid with an N -magnesio arylamine is the key step of this reaction. Proline and pipecolic acid derivatives were also synthesized from ω-(arylamino)-1-chloroalkyl p -tolyl sulfoxides by the same chemistry. Starting from enantiomerically pure (1 S , R S )-1-chloro-3-[2-( N -methylamino)phenyl]propyl p -tolyl sulfoxide, enantiomerically pure ( R )-pipecolic acid derivative was obtained. The intramolecular nucleophilic substitution reaction of the magnesium carbenoid with N -magnesio arylamine was proven to take place with inversion of the carbenoid carbon. The stereochemistry of these reactions is also discussed.
