Abstract
The regioselective hydrolysis of ketenimines derived from NH-acids, such as 2,2,2-trichloro-N-phenylacetamide or ethyl-2-anilino-2-oxoacetates and acetylenic esters in the presence of tert-butyl isocyanide in a THF/H2O system (1/1) without any catalysis leads to a diastereomeric mixture of dialkyl 2-[(tert-butylamino)carbonyl]-3-[(2,2,2-trichloroacetyl)anilino]succinates and dialkyl 2-[(tert-butylamino)carbonyl]-3-[2-ethoxy-2-oxoacetyl)anilino]-succinates in good yields. Dynamic NMR effects were observed in the 13C NMR spectra of diethyl 2-[(tert-butylamino)carbonyl]-3-[(2,2,2-trichloroacetyl)anilino]succinate as a result of restricted rotation around the N-aryl single bond. The free energy of activation (ΔG #) for this process is 37.9 kJ mol−1 which leads to an observable atropisomerism.
