RESUMEN
We describe herein a manganese(IV) oxide-mediated oxidation of N-p-methoxyphenyl (PMP)-protected glycine derivatives for the synthesis of α-imino carboxylic acid derivatives. Using this methodology, utilization of unstable glyoxic acid derivatives was avoided. Furthermore, using this methodology we synthesized novel α-imino carboxylic acid derivatives such as α-imino phenyl ester, perfluoroalkyl etsers, imides, and thioester. The asymmetric Mannich reaction of those novel imine derivatives with 1,3-dicarbonyl compound is also described, and the novel α-imino imide gave improved chemical yield and stereoselectivity compared with those obtained by the use of the conventional α-imino ester-type substrate.

The utility of rhodamine B as a water-soluble organic photocatalyst was studied in the cascade radical addition-cyclization-trapping reactions under visible light irradiation. In the presence of (i-Pr)2NEt, the electron transfer from the excited rhodamine B to perfluoroalkyl iodides proceeded smoothly to promote the carbon-carbon bond-forming radical reactions in aqueous media. When i-C3F7I was employed as a radical precursor, the aqueous-medium radical reactions proceeded even in the absence of (i-Pr)2NEt. In these reactions, the direct electron transfer from the excited singlet state of rhodamine B would take place. Furthermore, the cleavage of the C-I bond in less reactive i-PrI could be achieved by the reductive electron transfer from the excited rhodamine B, which was confirmed by the fluorescence quenching of rhodamine B with the addition of i-PrI.
