Conclusions

  1. 1.

    Catalytic reductive aminolysis of the azalactones of N-acyl-p-difluoromethoxy-α-aminocinnamic acid in dimethoxyethane, isopropanol, and tert-butanol proceeds stereoselectively, leading to the α-phenylethylamides of N-acyl-p-difluoromethoxyphenylalanine with a 3–55% excess of the S,S-diastereomer.

     
  2. 2.

    Replacement of dimethoxyethane by isopropanol or tert-butanol leads to an increase in the stereoselectivity of the process.

     
  3. 3.

    Hydrogenation of the S-(+)-α-phenylethylamide of N-acyl-p-difluoromethoxy-α-aminocinnamic acid proceeds stereoselectively, and leads to production of the α-phenylethylamide of N-acyl-p-difluoromethoxyphenylalanine with a 9–18% excess of the R,S-diastereomer.
