ABSTRACT
An unprecedented highly enantioselective Ru-catalyzed direct asymmetric reductive amination of α-keto amides with ammonium salts has been disclosed, efficiently offering valuable enantioenriched N-unprotected unnatural α-amino acid derivatives bearing a broad range of aryl or alkyl α-substituents. This protocol features easily accessible substrates, good functional-group tolerance and excellent enantiocontrol, making it a good complementary approach to the known methods. Moreover, this method is also applicable to the preparation of N-unprotected unnatural α-amino acid derivatives containing an additional stereogenic center at the ß-position through a dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR) process. Convenient transformations of the obtained products into chiral N-unprotected unnatural α-amino acids, drug intermediates, peptides, and organocatalysts/ligands further showcase the utility of this method.
