Diastereoselective conjugate reduction with samarium diiodide: asymmetric synthesis of methyl (2S,3R)-N-acetyl-2-amino-2,3-dideuterio-3-phenylpropionate

Abstract

A highly diastereoselective conjugate reduction using SmI2 and D2O has been demonstrated on a homochiral benzylidene diketopiperazine template, giving methyl (2S,3R)-N-acetyl-2-amino-2,3-dideuterio-3-phenylpropionate 12 in 93% de and 90% ee after deprotection, hydrolysis and N-acetylation.
