Abstract

The manganese(I)-catalyzed allylation of the amino acid tryptophan is realized under exceedingly mild conditions using water as a sustainable and non-hazardous reaction medium, instead of classical organic solvents, with great potential for green and sustainable chemistry. Synthetically useful α,β-unsaturated esters can be accessed by reaction with Morita–Baylis–Hillman (MBH) adducts following a fast C–H activation approach. The robustness of this procedure is reflected by kinetic analysis at different reaction temperatures and reduced catalyst loadings are employed.

The vial was then evacuated and filled with N2 three times. Afterwards, the MBH adduct 2a (103 mg, 0.40 mmol, 2.00 equiv) and freshly degassed H2O (1.5 mL) were added and the suspension was stirred at 80 °C for 16 h under N2. After cooling to ambient temperature, EtOAc (10 mL) was added, the organic phase was separated, and the aqueous phase was extracted with EtOAc (3 × 10 mL). After drying of the combined organic phases over Na2SO4, the crude mixture was concentrated in vacuo.
