Synthesis Preparation

Most substrates, with the exception of hydroxypymvate, have a threo configuration of hydroxyl groups at the C-3 and C-4 positions (139). The new stereocenter formed in TK-catalyzed addition is formed in the threo configuration with high diastereo-selectivity (151). Using TK-catalyzed condensations of hydroxypymvic acid with a number of aldehydes a practical preparative synthesis of L-idose [5934-56-5], L-gulose [6027-89-0], 2-deoxy-L-xylohexose, and... 

The class I FruA isolated from rabbit muscle aldolase (RAMA) is the aldolase employed for preparative synthesis in the widest sense, owing to its commercial availability and useful specific activity of 20 U mg . Its operative stability in solution is limiting, but the more robust homologous enzyme from Staphylococcus carnosus has been cloned for overexpression [87], which offers unusual stability for synthetic purposes. Recently, it was shown that less polar substrates may be converted as highly concentrated water-in-oil emulsions [88]. 

Using (31) as the nucleophile, FSA has been shown to accept several aldehydes as acceptor components for preparative synthesis [91]. In addition to (31), it also utilizes hydroxyacetone as an alternative donor to generate 1-deoxysugars such as (66) regioselectively (Figure 10.25). 

Furthermore, the GPO procedure can also be used for a preparative synthesis of the corresponding phosphorothioate (37), phosphoramidate (38), and methylene phosphonate (39) analogs of (25) (Figure 10.20) from suitable diol precursors [106] to be used as aldolase substrates [102]. In fact, such isosteric replacements of the phosphate ester oxygen were found to be tolerable by a number of class I and class II aldolases, and only some specific enzymes failed to accept the less polar phosphonate (39) [107]. Thus, sugar phosphonates (e.g. (71)/(72)) that mimic metabolic intermediates but are hydrolytically stable to phosphatase degradation can be rapidly synthesized (Figure 10.28).

The preparation of synthesis gas from natural gas, which is the most important step in the gas-to-liquid transformation, has attracted increasing attention in the last decade. Steam reforming, partial oxidation, and C02 reforming are the three major processes that can be employed to prepare synthesis gas. Because steam reforming was reviewed recently in this series [Adv. Catal. 47 (2002) 65], this chapter deals only with the latter two processes.

Finally, a recent example on the biocatalyzed synthesis of new cytotoxic derivatives of the anthracycline doxurobicin (8) deserves to be mentioned. In the presence of Mucorjavanicus lipase or subtilisin Carlsberg ion-paired with Aerosol , the primary C-14 OH was chemoselectively acylated to give the corresponding derivatives, such as the valerate 8a [19]. However, optimization of this enzymatic synthesis did not provide a synthetic approach suitable for the preparative synthesis of gram quantities of Valrubicin (N-trifluoroacetyl doxurobicin-14-valerate, 8b)... 

Recently, the enzyme from Aureobacterium barkerei, strain KDO 372, has been partially purified and used in the preparative synthesis of KDO. The pyruvate attacks from the re face of aldehyde, creating a new R chiral center at C-4 thus, the facial selectivity of KDO aldolase is complementary to the one of sialic acid aldolase. Moreover as the enzyme accepts some flexibility toward the acceptor, several other analogues with 6-, 7-, or 9-carbon atoms could be prepared, such as l-KDN and d-DAH [50].

Of the range of lyases known, but not included in the sections above for their distinct mode of action, an increasing number are being evaluated for their potential applicability to preparative synthesis. Since earlier restrictions of limited catalyst accessibility or inconvenience of cofactor requirements are being removed at a rapid pace by recent genetic advancements, other selected lyases have been studied in detail. The most promising examples and their applications to asymmetric synthesis have been included in this review and will be discussed below. 

At that time, however, these reactions were not brought to the level of preparative synthesis of nitriles. The main obstacle seemed to be further transformation of the nitriles to acids. In some cases, upon treating al-doximes with alkalies, it was not at all possible to fix nitriles since they immediately converted to acids. The anti(E)-isomers exhibit an enhanced reactivity in these cases. Thus, when boiled in 2 N NaOH, -aldoximes are slowly converted to a mixture of the corresponding carboxylic acids and sy/i(Z)-aldoximes to evolve ammonia (36JA1227). Under these conditions for 4 hr the - and Z-benzaldoximes undergo 13 and 48% conversion to form benzoic acid in 10 and 38% yield, respectively. Analogously, the -and Z-oximes of furfural, under the same conditions for 1.5 hr, are converted to furan-2-carboxylic acid in 33 and 62% conversion and 18 and 49% yield, respectively.

In 1993 Meijer et al. and Miilhaupt et al. almost simultaneously accomplished the preparative synthesis of higher generation monodisperse POPAM dendrimers on the basis of this principle [6].

A de novo synthesis of GDP-Fuc (13), UDP-Gal (16) and UDP-GalNAc (19) by isolated enzymes of the salvage pathways (see Fig. 14) has not yet been described. A crude extract from porcine submaxillary glands gave a yield of 80% for the synthesis of p-L-fucose-1-phosphate (12), but the synthesis of 13 was less successful with a yield of 20% [312]. The main pathways for 16 and 19 involve 4-epimerases (Table 4 and Fig. 14) which are not suitable for preparative synthesis due to their unfavourable equilibrium constants [347, 348], An alternative is Gal-l-P uridyltransferase which is only specific for Gal-l-P and GalNH2-l-P (Table 4). 

Another selection criterion for hits is the structural complexity of the hit. A hit that is advanced in a discovery program must be modified to increase its binding to a suitable level. If the hit has a complex structure that is difficult to prepare, synthesis of derivatives of the hit will require much time and slow the entire discovery process. Very complex hits are therefore often less attractive for promotion.
