The conjugate addition of S-, N- and O-heterocyclic nucleophiles to the C C bond of dehydroalanine, bonded as a Schiff’s base to the chiral auxiliary (S)-2-[N-(N′-benzylprolyl)amino]benzophenone in the coordination sphere of NiII, resulted in the asymmetric synthesis of novel (S)-α-aminopropionic acids containing a heterocyclic side chain, including imidazole, triazole, thiodiazole, thiazole and oxazole moieties (de 20–92%). After purification and cleavage of the metal complexes, the heterocyclic amino acids were isolated with high enantiomeric purity (ee >97%). |
