Popis: Magnesium carbenoids were generated from aryl 1-chloroalkyl sulfoxides with i-PrMgCl in THF at low temperature in quantitative yields. The magnesium carbenoids were found to be reactive with N-lithio alkylamines to afford an olefin, which was derived from dimerization of the magnesium carbenoid, in moderate yield. On the other hand, reaction of the magnesium carbenoids with N-substituted N-lithio arylamines gave non-stabilized α-amino-substituted carbanions in good yields. Reactivity of the α-amino-substituted carbanions with some electrophiles was investigated and it was found that ethyl chloroformate reacted to give α-amino acid derivatives in good yields. As a whole, a new method for one-pot, three-component combined synthesis of α-amino acid derivatives from aryl 1-chloroalkyl sulfoxides was realized.
