- A Convenient Synthesis of (R)-γ-Amino-β-hydroxybutanoic Acid (GABOB) from Natural (2S,4R)-4-Hydroxyproline (Short Communication)
-
The oxidative decarboxylation sequence (1a --> 2a --> 3a --> 4a --> 5a) affording γ-aminobutanoic acid (5a) is adapted to the synthesis of its hydroxy derivative 5b.A facile high yield conversion of (2S,4R)-4-hydroxyproline-methylester-hydrochloride (7) to (R)-GABOB (5b) on a preparative scale is reported with the hydroxypyrrolidone 8 as the intermediate. - Keywords: Oxidation of amino acid derivatives; γ-Amino-β-hydroxybutanoic acid (GABOB); 1-Pyrroline-2-carboxylic acid derivatives

- Nucleophilic ring-opening of epoxide and aziridine acetates for the stereodivergent synthesis of β-Hydroxy and β-Amino γ-Lactams
-
A highly regio- and stereoselective synthesis of novel β,γ- disubstituted γ-lactams with either an anti or syn relative configuration was developed from readily available epoxide and aziridine acetates. The key steps include the regio- and diastereocontrolled nucleophilic ring-opening of these three-membered heterocycles followed by mild reductive cyclization of the γ-azido ester intermediate. The method was also extended to an asymmetric synthesis of (4R,5S)-4-hydroxy-5-phenylpyrrolidin-2-one from a chiral epoxide acetate. The main features of this versatile synthesis of functionalized γ-lactams include the involvement of inexpensive reagents and mild conditions together with high chemical efficiency.

- PROCESS FOR STRAIGHTENING KERATIN FIBRES WITH A HEATING MEANS AND DENATURING AGENTS
-
The invention relates to a process for straightening keratin fibres, comprising: (i) a step in which a straightening composition containing at least two denaturing agents is applied to the keratin fibres, (ii) a step in which the temperature of the keratin fibres is raised, using a heating means, to a temperature of between 110 and 250° C.

- Simple and efficient cleavage of the N-(1-phenylethyl) unit of carboxamides with methanesulfonic acid
-
Cleavage of the N-(1-phenylethyl) unit of carboxamides using less than 1 equiv of MsOH in refluxing toluene was found to be simple and very efficient leading to the desired amides in good to excellent yields, and also proved to be more effective compared with reductive methods using hydrogen sources, or acid hydrolysis reagents such as TFA and TsOH. The method selectively cleaved only the N-(1-phenylethyl) group of N-benzyl-N-(1-phenylethyl)amides.

- Process for producing optically active alcohol
-
A novel process in which an optically active alcohol compound having a desired absolute configuration and a high optical purity can be obtained by asymmetrically hydrogenating a β-keto acid compound through a simple operation. An optically active alcohol represented by the following general formula (III) : (wherein R1 represents a C1-C15 alkyl group which may have one or more substituents (selected from halogen atoms, a hydroxyl group, an amino group, amino groups protected by a protective group, amino groups protected by a mineral acid or organic acid, amino groups substituted with one or more C1-C4 lower alkyl groups, a benzyloxy group, C1-C4 lower alkoxy groups, C1-C4 lower alkoxycarbonyl groups, and aryl groups) or an aryl group; and R2 represents a C1-C8 lower alkyl group, or a benzyl group which may have one or more substituents) is obtained by asymmetrically hydrogenating a β-keto ester compound represented by the following general formula (I): (wherein R1 and R2 are the same as defined above) in the presence of at least one ruthenium complex having as a ligand an optically active tertiary diphosphine compound represented by the following general formula (II): (wherein R3 and R4 each independently represent a cycloalkyl group, an unsubstituted or substituted phenyl group, or a five-membered heteroaromatic ring residue).

- An efficient scalable process for the synthesis of N-Boc-2-tert-butyldimethylsiloxypyrrole
-
A safe, reliable and scalable process for the preparation of N-Boc-2-tert-butyldimethylsiloxy-pyrrole (TBSOP) is described. In a three-step, one-pot sequence (±)-4-amino-3-hydroxybutyric acid was converted to N-Boc-4-hydroxy-2-pyrrolidinone. This stable crystalline product was isolated by filtration directly from the reaction mixture. Dehydration followed by enolization and silylation produced the target compound without the need for chromatographic purification. The process was demonstrated in the pilot plant to make multikilogram quantities of material in 85% overall yield.

- Method of producing 4-hydroxy-2-pyrrolidinone and method of purifying the same
-
4-Hydroxy-2-pyrrolidinone which is useful as a raw material of drugs can be produced rapidly and highly selectively in a high yield from an optically active or recemic 4-amino-3-hydroxybutylic acid derivative or a 4-azido-3-hydroxybutyric acid derivative by adding a base catalyst to the reaction system. 4-Hydroxy-2-pyrrolidinone having a high optical purity can be obtained by carrying out recrystallization of optically active 4-hydroxy-2-pyrrolidinone without using a poor solvent.

Disclosed is a novel process for preparing an optically active 4-hydroxy-2-pyrrolidone which is useful as starting material in pharmaceutical applications. The process for preparing an optically active 4-hydroxy-2-pyrrolidone comprises steps of asymmetrically hydrogenating a salt of 4-amino-3-oxobutanoic acid and/or a salt of a 4-amino-3-oxobutanoic acid ester in the presence of a ruthenium-optically active phosphine complex as catalyst and a lower alkanol as solvent, to produce a salt of a lower alkyl ester of an optically active 4-amino-3-hydroxybutanoic acid, followed by a cyclization reaction in the presence of a base.

- Oxaziridine-mediated ring expansions of substituted cyclobutanones: Synthesis of (-)-γ-amino-β-hydroxybutyric acid (GABOB)
-
The synthesis and photochemical rearrangement chemistry of oxaziridines derived from 3-benzyloxy- and 3-phenylcyclobutanone were examined. The oxaziridines were prepared by condensation of the ketones with α-methylbenzylamine followed by oxidation. Photolysis at 254 nm afforded good yields of readily separable lactams; 4-benzyloxy-pyrrolidin-2-one obtained in this way was converted to 4-amino-3-hydroxybutanoic acid (GABOB) by catalytic hydrogenolysis followed by acid hydrolysis.
