- Enantiomerization and enantioselective bioaccumulation of metalaxyl in tenebrio molitor larvae
-
The enantiomerization and enantioselective bioaccumulation of metalaxyl by a single dose of exposure to Tenebrio molitor larvae under laboratory condition were studied by high-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectroscopy (HPLC-MS/MS) based on a ChiralcelOD-3R [cellulosetris-tris-(3, 5-dichlorophenyl-carbamate)] column. Exposure of enantiopure R-metalaxyl and S-metalaxyl in Tenebrio molitor larvae exhibited significant enantiomerization, with formation of the R enantiomers from the S enantiomers, and vice versa, which might be attributed to the chiral pesticide catalyzed by a certain enzyme in Tenebrio molitor larvae. Enantiomerization was not observed in wheat bran during the period of 21 d. In addition, bioaccumulation of rac-metalaxyl in Tenebrio molitor larvae was enantioselective with a preferential accumulation of S-metalaxyl. These results showed that enantioselectivity was caused not only by actual degradation and metabolism but also by enantiomerization, which was an important process in the environmental fate and behavior of metalaxyl enantiomers.

- Synthesis method of optically active metalaxyl
-
The invention discloses a synthesis method of optically active metalaxyl. The optically active metalaxyl is synthesized by performing methoxylation and acylating chlorination on chloroacetic acid to obtain methoxyacetyl chloride and then reacting Methoxyacetyl chloride with D-N-(2,6-dimethylphenyl) alanine methyl ester; a one-pot method operation is adopted for the synthesis; the two-step reactionof methoxylation and acylating chlorination is directly used for a next-step reaction without post-treatment. According to the process of the optically active metalaxyl, by adopting the one-pot method operation, the operation steps are simplified, the production of three wastes is decreased, the synthesis cost is reduced, the obtained product is stable in quality and relatively high in output andyield, and the synthesis method is suitable for large-scale production.

- Ir-catalyzed Asymmetric Hydrogenation of α-Imino Esters with Chiral Ferrocenylphosphine-Phosphoramidite Ligands
-
An Ir-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of α-imino esters with unsymmetrical hybrid chiral ferrocenylphosphine-phosphoramidite ligands for the synthesis of optically active α-aryl glycines has been described. The result indicated that the presence of the iodo-substitutent at the 3/3’-position of the binaphthyl unit of ligand could significantly improve the catalytic performance. This method features high asymmetric induction and reasonable functional group tolerance, thus providing a concise and efficient approach toward chiral α-aryl glycine derivatives with up to 96% ee.

The asymmetric hydrogenation of N-arylimines with the chiral phosphine-phosphoramidite ligand, (Sc,Sa)-PEAPhos 2b, has been developed. The results revealed that the presence of the substituents on the 3,3′-positions of the binaphthyl backbone significantly improved the enantioselectivity. The utility of this methodology was demonstrated in the synthesis of the chiral fungicide (R)-metalaxyl. This journal is

- Enzyme-catalyzed preparation of methyl (R)-N-(2,6-dimethylphenyl)alaninate: A key intermediate for (R)-metalaxyl
-
A biocatalytic approach for the production of (R)-metalaxyl, mefenoxam, has been developed. A practical synthesis of methyl (R)-N-(2,6-dimethylphenyl) alaninate, a key intermediate for (R)-metalaxyl, has been developed by the use of lipase-catalyzed hydrolytic kinetic resolution and chemical racemization of the remaining ester. At high concentrations in aqueous media (300 g/L) lipases were stable and gave moderate to good conversions and excellent enantioselectivities (>98% ee). A simple extraction procedure was used to separate the acid product from the remaining ester and the acid was esterified with methanol to give methyl (R)-N-(2,6-dimethylphenyl)alaninate without any reduction in enantiomeric excess (>98% ee). Subsequent chemical coupling with methoxyacetyl chloride provided enantiomerically pure (R)-metalaxyl (>98% ee) without racemization.
