Enantiomer acylation

Enzymatic hydrolysis is also used for the preparation of L-amino acids. Racemic D- and L-amino acids and their acyl-derivatives obtained chemically can be resolved enzymatically to yield their natural L-forms. Aminoacylases such as that from Pispergillus OTj e specifically hydrolyze L-enantiomers of acyl-DL-amino acids. The resulting L-amino acid can be separated readily from the unchanged acyl-D form which is racemized and subjected to further hydrolysis. Several L-amino acids, eg, methionine [63-68-3], phenylalanine [63-91-2], tryptophan [73-22-3], and valine [72-18-4] have been manufactured by this process in Japan and production costs have been reduced by 40% through the appHcation of immobilized cell technology (75). Cyclohexane chloride, which is a by-product in nylon manufacture, is chemically converted to DL-amino-S-caprolactam [105-60-2] (23) which is resolved and/or racemized to (24)... [Pg.311]

This procedure is restricted mainly to aminodicarboxyhc acids or diaminocarboxyhc acids. In the case of neutral amino acids, the amino group or carboxyl group must be protected, eg, by A/-acylation, esterification, or amidation. This protection of the racemic amino acid and deprotection of the separated enantiomers add stages to the overall process. Furthermore, this procedure requires a stoichiometric quantity of the resolving agent, which is then difficult to recover efficiendy. Practical examples of resolution by this method have been pubUshed (50,51). [Pg.278]

The original commercial source of E was extraction from bovine adrenal glands (5). This was replaced by a synthetic route for E and NE (Eig. 1) similar to the original pubHshed route of synthesis (6). Eriedel-Crafts acylation of catechol [120-80-9] with chloroacetyl chloride yields chloroacetocatechol [99-40-1]. Displacement of the chlorine by methylamine yields the methylamine derivative, adrenalone [99-45-6] which on catalytic reduction yields (+)-epinephrine [329-65-7]. Substitution of ammonia for methylamine in the sequence yields the amino derivative noradrenalone [499-61-6] which on reduction yields (+)-norepinephrine [138-65-8]. The racemic compounds were resolved with (+)-tartaric acid to give the physiologically active (—)-enantiomers. The commercial synthesis of E and related compounds has been reviewed (27). The synthetic route for L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine [59-92-7] (l-DOPA) has been described (28). [Pg.355]

The potential for use of chiral natural materials such as cellulose for separation of enantiomers has long been recognized, but development of efficient materials occurred relatively recently. Several acylated derivatives of cellulose are effective chiral stationary phases. Benzoate esters and aryl carbamates are particularly useful. These materials are commercially available on a silica support and imder the trademark Chiralcel. Figure 2.4 shows the resolution of y-phenyl-y-butyrolactone with the use of acetylated cellulose as the adsorbent material. [Pg.89]

The chiral BOX-copper(ll) complexes, (S)-21a and (l )-21b (X=OTf, SbFg), were found by Evans et al. to catalyze the enantioselective cycloaddition reactions of the a,/ -unsaturated acyl phosphonates 49 with ethyl vinyl ether 46a and the cyclic enol ethers 50 giving the cycloaddition products 51 and 52, respectively, in very high yields and ee as outlined in Scheme 4.33 [38b]. It is notable that the acyclic and cyclic enol ethers react highly stereoselectively and that the same enantiomer is formed using (S)-21a and (J )-21b as the catalyst. It is, furthermore, of practical importance that the cycloaddition reaction can proceed in the presence of only 0.2 mol% (J )-21a (X=SbF6) with minimal reduction in the yield of the cycloaddition product and no loss of enantioselectivity (93% ee). [Pg.179]

Condensation of piperazine with 2-methoxytropone gives the addition-elimination product 12 [2]. Alkylation of the remaining secondary amino group with bromoketone 13, itself the product from acylation of dimethyl catechol, gives aminoketone 14. Reduction of the carbonyl group with sodium borohydride leads to secondaiy alcohols 15 and 16. Resolution of these two enantiomers was achieved by recrystallization of their tartrate salts to give ciladopa (16) [3],... [Pg.22]

Later on the crucial role played by the solvent was enlightened in the protease-catalyzed resolution of racemic amines [26]. As shown in Table 1.3, the ratio of the initial rates of acylation of the (S)- and the (Ji)-enantiomers or racemic a-methyl-benzylamine (9) varied from nearly 1 in toluene to 7.7 in 3-methyl-3-pentanol. Similarly, the same authors found a significant solvent effect for the subtilisin-catalyzed transesterification of racemic 1-phenylethanol (10) using vinyl butyrate as acyl donor (Table 1.4 [27]). [Pg.10]

A novel approach was developed very recently by Kita et al. [15]. DKR of allylic alcohols was performed by combining a lipase-catalyzed acylation with a racemization through the formation of allyl vanadate intermediates. Excellent yields and enantioselectivities were obtained. An example is shown in Figure 4.4. A limitation with this approach for the substrates shown in Figure 4.4 is that the allylic alcohol must be equally disubstituted in the allylic position (R = R ) since C—C single bond rotation is required in the tertiary alkoxy intermediate. Alternatively, R or R can be H if the two allylic alcohols formed by migration of the hydroxyl group are enantiomers (e.g. cyclic allylic acetates). [Pg.93]

Using this approach, racemates of (27) were enantiomerically enriched using a lipase in organic solvent, followed by racemization of the unreacted enantiomer in buffer. Acylated derivatives (S)-(28) were obtained in yields >50% and >99% ee. Lipases with the opposite enantioselectivity produced (R)-28 in >99% ee. Subsequent chemical deacylation of (28) yielded enantiomerically enriched (27). [Pg.125]

Despite its widespread application [31,32], the kinetic resolution has two major drawbacks (i) the maximum theoretical yield is 50% owing to the consumption of only one enantiomer, (ii) the separation of the product and the remaining starting material may be laborious. The separation is usually carried out by chromatography, which is inefficient on a large scale, and several alternative methods have been developed (Figure 6.2). For example, when a cyclic anhydride is the acyl donor in an esterification reaction, the water-soluble monoester monoacid is separable by extraction with an aqueous alkaline solution [33,34]. Also, fiuorous phase separation techniques have been combined with enzymatic kinetic resolutions [35]. To overcome the 50% yield limitation, one of the enantiomers may, in some cases, be racemized and resubmitted to the resolution procedure. [Pg.135]

The main application of the enzymatic hydrolysis of the amide bond is the en-antioselective synthesis of amino acids [4,97]. Acylases (EC 3.5.1.n) catalyze the hydrolysis of the N-acyl groups of a broad range of amino acid derivatives. They accept several acyl groups (acetyl, chloroacetyl, formyl, and carbamoyl) but they require a free a-carboxyl group. In general, acylases are selective for i-amino acids, but d-selective acylase have been reported. The kinetic resolution of amino acids by acylase-catalyzed hydrolysis is a well-established process [4]. The in situ racemization of the substrate in the presence of a racemase converts the process into a DKR. Alternatively, the remaining enantiomer of the N-acyl amino acid can be isolated and racemized via the formation of an oxazolone, as shown in Figure 6.34. [Pg.146]

Other derivatives to obtain P-aminoacids are the corresponding carboxamides. Thus, for the preparation of all enantiomers of as and traws-2-aminocydopentane-and cydohexanecarboxamides, the best results obtained are using this acyl donor and CALB [54]. An unexpected change in enantiopreference accompanied by low enantioselectivity was observed when PSL (ds-cydohexane substrate) or CALA (ds-cyclopentane and cydohexane substrates) replaced CALB (Scheme 7.30). [Pg.187]

Enantioenriched alcohols and amines are valuable building blocks for the synthesis of bioactive compounds. While some of them are available from nature s chiral pool , the large majority is accessible only by asymmetric synthesis or resolution of a racemic mixture. Similarly to DMAP, 64b is readily acylated by acetic anhydride to form a positively charged planar chiral acylpyridinium species [64b-Ac] (Fig. 43). The latter preferentially reacts with one enantiomer of a racemic alcohol by acyl-transfer thereby regenerating the free catalyst. For this type of reaction, the CsPhs-derivatives 64b/d have been found superior. [Pg.168]

Since amines react more readily than alcohols in noncatalyzed reactions with anhydrides, the reaction is more difficult and initially required stoichiometric catalyst loadings [107], but could be performed in a catalytic sense with an O-acylated azlactone as acylating agent, which does not react with a benzylic amine at —50°C, but is capable of acylating the catalyst [108, 109]. Depending on the buUdness of the substrate, selectivities ranged from S = 11 to 27 (s = [ enantiomer l]/[ enantiomer 2])-... [Pg.168]

C-chiral racemic y-hydroxy sulfides were also resolved using PEL under kinetic resolution conditions. The products were transformed into optically active 3-(alkanesulfonyloxy)thiolane salts (Scheme 1). Similarly, 1,2-cyclic sulfite glycerol derivatives cis and trans) were resolved into enantiomers via a Pseudomonas cepacia-catalysed acylation with vinyl butyrate. The E values depended on the solvent used and varied from 2 to 26. ... [Pg.162]

Another approach to the synthesis of chiral non-racemic hydroxyalkyl sulfones used enzyme-catalysed kinetic resolution of racemic substrates. In the first attempt. Porcine pancreas lipase was applied to acylate racemic (3, y and 8-hydroxyalkyl sulfones using trichloroethyl butyrate. Although both enantiomers of the products could be obtained, their enantiomeric excesses were only low to moderate. Recently, we have found that a stereoselective acetylation of racemic p-hydroxyalkyl sulfones can be successfully carried out using several lipases, among which CAL-B and lipase PS (AMANO) proved most efficient. Moreover, application of a dynamic kinetic resolution procedure, in which lipase-promoted kinetic resolution was combined with a concomitant ruthenium-catalysed racem-ization of the substrates, gave the corresponding p-acetoxyalkyl sulfones 8 in yields... [Pg.163]

The results presented in Tables 3 and 4 deserve some comments. First, a variety of enzymes, including whole-cell preparations, proved suitable for the resolution of different hydroxyalkanephosphorus compounds, giving both unreacted substrates and the products of the enzymatic transformation in good yields and, in some cases, even with full stereoselectivity. Application of both methodologies, acylation of hydroxy substrates rac-41 and rac-43 or the reverse (hydrolysis of the acylated substrates rac-42 and rac-44), enables one to obtain each desired enantiomer of the product. This turned out to be particularly important in those cases when a chemical transformation OH OAc or reverse was difficult to perform. As an example, our work is shown in Scheme 3. In this case, chemical hydrolysis of the acetyl derivative 46 proved difficult due to some side reactions and therefore an enzymatic hydrolysis, using the same enzyme as that in the acylation reaction, was applied. Not only did this provide access to the desired hydroxy derivative 45 but it also allowed to improve its enantiomeric excess. In this way. [Pg.173]

Stereoselective hydrolysis of racemic l-(//-phenylacetylamino) alkanephos-phonic acids performed in the presence of penicillin acylase under the kinetic resolution conditions gave both the unreacted substrates and the products - the corresponding 1-aminophosphonic acids in high yields and with full enantioselec-tivity. The unreacted A -acyl derivatives were hydrolysed chemically and in this way each enantiomer of the free acid was obtained (Scheme 5). ... [Pg.181]

Immobilized PLE was applied to promote stereoselective acetylation of prochiral bis(hydroxymethyl)methyl-phenylgermane 106 (R = Me) with vinyl acetate as a solvent and acyl donor. Later on, the same group reported that each enantiomer of hydridogermane monoacetates 107 (R = H) was obtained either via acetylation of the bis-hydroxy derivative 106 (R = H) or hydrolysis of the corresponding diacetate 108 (R = H). In both methods, porcine pancreatic lipase was used and, obviously, each reaction led to a different enantiomer of 107 (Equation 51). ... [Pg.197]

The ability of enzymes to achieve the selective esterification of one enantiomer of an alcohol over the other has been exploited by coupling this process with the in situ metal-catalysed racemisation of the unreactive enantiomer. Marr and co-workers have used the rhodium and iridium NHC complexes 44 and 45 to racemise the unreacted enantiomer of substrate 7 [17]. In combination with a lipase enzyme (Novozyme 435), excellent enantioselectivities were obtained in the acetylation of alcohol 7 to give the ester product 43 (Scheme 11.11). A related dynamic kinetic resolution has been reported by Corberdn and Peris [18]. hi their chemistry, the aldehyde 46 is readily racemised and the iridium NHC catalyst 35 catalyses the reversible reduction of aldehyde 46 to give an alcohol which is acylated by an enzyme to give the ester 47 in reasonable enantiomeric excess. [Pg.258]

Several hundred tons of L-methionine per year are produced by enzymatic conversion in an enzyme membrane reactor. An alternative approach is dynamic resolution, where the unconverted enantiomer is racemized in situ. Starting from racemic /V-acetyl-amino acid, the enantioselective L-acylase is used in combination with an TV-acyl-amino acid racemase to enable nearly total conversion of the substrate. [Pg.87]

More recently, Kaiser and coworkers reported enantiomeric specificity in the reaction of cyclohexaamylose with 3-carboxy-2,2,5,5-tetramethyl-pyrrolidin-l-oxy m-nitrophenyl ester (1), a spin label useful for identifying enzyme-substrate interactions (Flohr et al., 1971). In this case, the catalytic mechanism is identical to the scheme derived for the reactions of the cycloamyloses with phenyl acetates. In fact, the covalent intermediate, an acyl-cyclohexaamylose, was isolated. Maximal rate constants for appearance of m-nitrophenol at pH 8.62 (fc2), rate constants for hydrolysis of the covalent intermediate (fc3), and substrate binding constants (Kd) for the two enantiomers are presented in Table VIII. Significantly, specificity appears in the rates of acylation (fc2) rather than in either the strength of binding or the rate of deacylation. [Pg.233]

The antibacterial agent flumequine 280 was synthetized in optically active form by starting with resolution of the two enantiomers of a suitably substituted racemic tetrahydroquinoline through formation of the (lf )-3-bromocamphor-8-sulfonates. After N-alkylation of the (2K)-tetrahydroisoquinoline enantiomer 277 with diethyl ethoxymethylene-malonate to give 278, the quinolizidine system 279 was formed by acylation onto the peri-position. This compound was finally hydrolyzed to afford 280 (Scheme 60) <1999TA1079>. [Pg.41]

In the presence of a catalytic amount of chiral lanthanide triflate 63, the reaction of 3-acyl-l,3-oxazolidin-2-ones with cyclopentadiene produces Diels-Alder adducts in high yields and high ee. The chiral lanthanide triflate 63 can be prepared from ytterbium triflate, (R)-( I )-binaphthol, and a tertiary amine. Both enantiomers of the cycloaddition product can be prepared via this chiral lanthanide (III) complex-catalyzed reaction using the same chiral source [(R)-(+)-binaphthol] and an appropriately selected achiral ligand. This achiral ligand serves as an additive to stabilize the catalyst in the sense of preventing the catalyst from aging. Asymmetric catalytic aza Diels-Alder reactions can also be carried out successfully under these conditions (Scheme 5-21).19... [Pg.282]
