Аннотация:The regioselectivity of the addition of HO-acids to the activated pi-bond in N,N-bis(oxy)enamines was found to be dramatically dependent on the solvent. Mechanism investigations and quantum-chemical calculations revealed that solvent affects the reaction pathway. In basic solvents (DMF, NMP, DMSO), N,N-bis(oxy)enamines are converted into nitrosoalkenes through a Lewis base promoted process followed by the oxy-Michael addition of HO-acid. In non-polar solvents (toluene, CH2Cl2), reaction follows an acid-promoted SN' substitution of N-oxy-group via highly reactive N-vinyl-N-alkoxynitrenium species. Based on these studies, general and efficient protocols for oximinoalkylation of various HO-acids (carboxylic acids, phenols, hydroxamic, phosphoric and sulfonic acids) employing readily available N,N-bis(oxy)enamines were developed. These methods proved to be applicable for post-modification of natural molecules bearing acidic OH-groups (such as steroidal hormones, bile acids, protected amino acids and peptides) and ligands (BINOL). The resulting alpha-oxyoximes were demonstrated to be useful precursors of valuable 1,2-amino alcohol or 1,2-hydroxylamino alcohol derivatives, including the antiarrhythmic drug Mexiletine and a potent MMP inhibitor.
