- Process for producing enantiopure beta-amino acid derivatives, and enantiopure beta-amino acid derivatives
-
Process for producing enantiopure β-amino acid derivatives corresponding to general formula (I) R1-NZ-CHR2—CH2—COOR3 (I) in which R1 and R2 independently denote organic residues optionally forming a cyclic substituent, R3 denotes H or an organic residue, and Z represents H or an amino function-protecting group, comprising a step in which a mixture of enantiomers of a compound corresponding to general formula (II) R1-NZ-CHR2—CH2—COOR4 (II) in which R1, R2 and Z are as defined for formula (I), and R4 is an organic residue, is subjected to hydrolysis in the presence of a lipase.

- Enzymatic resolution of cyclic N-Boc protected β-aminoacids
-
Methyl and ethyl esters of N-Boc homoproline, homopipecolic acid and 3-carboxymethyl-morpholine were kinetically resolved by hydrolysis catalysed by Burkholderia cepacia lipase to give the corresponding acids and residual esters in enantiomeric excesses better than 99% (E > 100).

- Homoproline homologation by enolate Claisen rearrangement or direct allylation: Syntheses of (-)-trachelanthamidine, (-)-isoretronecanol and (±)-turneforcidine
-
The pyrrolizidine precursors 13 and 14 are obtained both by enolate Clalsen rearrangement of the homoproline allyl ester 12 and by direct allylation of N-protected homoproline ethyl ester 15. In both cases, the reactions show poor levels of stereoselectivity. Reduction gives the corresponding alcohols 20a and 21 a which are separated and subsequently elaborated to (-)-trachelanthamidine 24 and (-)-isoretronecanol 25 respectively via reductive alkene cleavage, mesylation and spontaneous cyclisation following N-deprotection. The chiral integrity of the original proline-derived asymmetric centre is preserved throughout. A similar enolate allylation gives, with high stereoselectivity, the homologue 34 of the Geissman-Waiss lactone 32, which is similarly transformed into (±)-turneforcidine 31.
