Preparation and resolution

Since this original synthesis, a great number of improvements (191—201) have been made in the stereoselective preparation and derivatization of the CO-chain precursor, in cuprate reagent composition and preparation, in protecting group utilization, and in the preparation and resolution of hydroxycyclopentenones. Illustration of some of the many improvements are seen in a synthesis (202) of enisoprost, a PGE analogue. The improvements consist of a much more efficient route to the enone as well as modifications in the cuprate reactions. Preparation of the racemic enone is as follows ... 

With the advent of enantioselective zirconocene-catalyzed alkene carbomagnesiation,27 27a 27c 28 28a chirally modified zirconocenes soon were applied to asymmetric reductive diene carbocyclization.2 a c As demonstrated by the reductive cyclization of 5a,29 highly enantioselective cyclization is enabled through the use Brintzinger s chiral, mszz-zirconocene.30 30a (For the preparation and resolution of chiral tf .szz-zirconocene 6, see Refs 30,30a.) However, moderate diastereoselectivities and yields are generally observed (Scheme 5). 

Wudl and Lee (96,97) reported the first preparation and resolution of the cyclic diastereomeric amidosulfites 58, which have been successfully used in the synthesis of chiral sulfoxides. A mixture of diastereomeric menthyl dimethylamidosulfites (100) was obtained in the reaction of racemic dimethylaminosulfinyl chloride (101) with menthol in the presence of pyridine (149). The degree of asymmetric...

Much like amphetamine, methyiphenidate was originally approved and marketed as a racemate. Novartis and others have filed several patents on the large-scale preparation and resolution of the most potent (R,R)-isomer (Harris and Zavareh, 1997 Patrick et al., 1987 Prashad, 1998 Prashad and Bin, 2000 Zeitlin and Stirling, 1998). A 1999 Novartis process publication on the synthesis of methyiphenidate is illustrative in that, despite... 

Most of the work in this area has concerned complexes racemic at iron. Section D.1.3.4.2.5.1.1. details methods for the preparation and resolution of enantiomerically pure iron acyl complexes. The details of alkylation reactions (see Section 1.1.1.3.4.1.3.) and aldol reactions (see Section 1.3.4.2.5.1.2.) of these and other iron acyl enolates are presented later with examples utilizing enantiomerically pure complexes indicated therein. Table 1 illustrates the scope of iron-acyl enolates prepared by deprotonation of complex 10 and its analogs.

This would not be necessary nowadays as the preparation and resolution of 8 is an undergraduate experiment.5 A more normal reductive amination gives racemic 8 and crystallisation of the tartrate salt 12 from methanol gives enantiomerically pure (+)-(R)-S after neutralisation. In fact this nearly perfect resolution gives both enantiomers of 8. One tartrate salt crystallises out from MeOH and the other remains in solution. The salts are diastereoisomers and have different physical properties. Since no covalent bond is formed in making the salt 12, simple neutralisation with NaOH gives pure amine 8 and the tartaric acid remains in solution as its sodium salt.

Chan et al. reported the preparation and resolution of closely related 3,3 -bipyridyl diphosphine atropisomers that differed by the aryl group on the phosphorous. The synthetic route which was used for Ar = Ph (99USP5886182, 00JA11513), R = p-tolyl (01SL1050) and R = 3,5-dimethyl-phenyl (02TL1539) is reported in Figure 13.
