Enantioselective preparation of a key α v β 3 integrin antagonist intermediate was accomplished via catalytic asymmetric hydrogenation of the corresponding β,β-disubstituted α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acid bearing a 3-quinolinyl moiety. The successful application of a Ru-( R )-XylPhanePhos catalyst to this type of substrate is unprecedented. In situ NMR experiments of pre-catalyst formation/activation by CH 3 CO 2 H, and reaction parameter modification, revealed that [Ru(COD)(CF 3 CO 2 ) 2 ] 2 /( R )-XylPhanePhos is a highly active and efficient catalytic system. |
