- Iterative Alanine Scanning Mutagenesis Confers Aromatic Ketone Specificity and Activity of L-Amine Dehydrogenases
-
Direct reductive amination of prochiral ketones catalyzed by amine dehydrogenases is attractive in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients. Here, we report the protein engineering of L-Bacillus cereus amine dehydrogenase to allow reactivity on synthetically useful aromatic ketone substrates using an iterative, multiple-site alanine scanning mutagenesis approach. Mutagenesis libraries based on molecular docking, iterative alanine scanning, and double-proximity filter approach significantly expand the scope of active pharmaceutical ingredients relevant building blocks. The eventual quintuple mutant (A115G/T136A/L42A/V296A/V293A) showed reactivity toward aromatic ketones 12 a (5-phenyl-pentan-2-one) and 13 a (6-phenyl-hexan-2-one), which have not been reported to serve as targets of reductive amination by currently available amine dehydrogenases. Docking simulation and tunnel analysis provided valuable insights into the source of the acquired specificity and activity.

- Enzymatic Primary Amination of Benzylic and Allylic C(sp3)-H Bonds
-
Aliphatic primary amines are prevalent in natural products, pharmaceuticals, and functional materials. While a plethora of processes are reported for their synthesis, methods that directly install a free amine group into C(sp3)-H bonds remain unprecedented. Here, we report a set of new-to-nature enzymes that catalyze the direct primary amination of C(sp3)-H bonds with excellent chemo-, regio-, and enantioselectivity, using a readily available hydroxylamine derivative as the nitrogen source. Directed evolution of genetically encoded cytochrome P411 enzymes (P450s whose Cys axial ligand to the heme iron has been replaced with Ser) generated variants that selectively functionalize benzylic and allylic C-H bonds, affording a broad scope of enantioenriched primary amines. This biocatalytic process is efficient and selective (up to 3930 TTN and 96percent ee), and can be performed on preparative scale.

- Deracemization of Racemic Amines to Enantiopure (R)- and (S)-amines by Biocatalytic Cascade Employing ω-Transaminase and Amine Dehydrogenase
-
A one-pot deracemization strategy for α-chiral amines is reported involving an enantioselective deamination to the corresponding ketone followed by a stereoselective amination by enantiocomplementary biocatalysts. Notably, this cascade employing a ω-transaminase and amine dehydrogenase enabled the access to both (R)-and (S)-amine products, just by controlling the directions of the reactions catalyzed by them. A wide range of (R)-and (S)-amines was obtained with excellent conversions (>80 %) and enantiomeric excess (>99 % ee). Finally, preparative scale syntheses led to obtain enantiopure (R)- and (S)-13 with the isolated yields of 53 and 75 %, respectively.

- Transition-Metal-Free Hydrogen Autotransfer: Diastereoselective N-Alkylation of Amines with Racemic Alcohols
-
A practical method for the synthesis of α-chiral amines by alkylation of amines with alcohols in the absence of any transition-metal catalysts has been developed. Under the co-catalysis of a ketone and NaOH, racemic secondary alcohols reacted with Ellman's chiral tert-butanesulfinamide by a hydrogen autotransfer process to afford chiral amines with high diastereoselectivities (up to >99:1). Broad substrate scope and up to a 10 gram scale production of chiral amines were demonstrated. The method was applied to the synthesis of chiral deuterium-labelled amines with high deuterium incorporation and optical purity, including examples of chiral deuterated drugs. The configuration of amine products is found to be determined solely by the configuration of the chiral tert-butanesulfinamide regardless of that of alcohols, and this is corroborated by DFT calculations. Further mechanistic studies showed that the reaction is initiated by the ketone catalyst and involves a transition state similar to that proposed for the Meerwein–Ponndorf–Verley (MPV) reduction, and importantly, it is the interaction of the sodium cation of the base with both the nitrogen and oxygen atoms of the sulfinamide moiety that makes feasible, and determines the diastereoselectivity of, the reaction.

- Evaluation of the Edman degradation product of vancomycin bonded to core-shell particles as a new HPLC chiral stationary phase
-
A modified macrocyclic glycopeptide-based chiral stationary phase (CSP), prepared via Edman degradation of vancomycin, was evaluated as a chiral selector for the first time. Its applicability was compared with other macrocyclic glycopeptide-based CSPs: TeicoShell and VancoShell. In addition, another modified macrocyclic glycopeptide-based CSP, NicoShell, was further examined. Initial evaluation was focused on the complementary behavior with these glycopeptides. A screening procedure was used based on previous work for the enantiomeric separation of 50 chiral compounds including amino acids, pesticides, stimulants, and a variety of pharmaceuticals. Fast and efficient chiral separations resulted by using superficially porous (core-shell) particle supports. Overall, the vancomycin Edman degradation product (EDP) resembled TeicoShell with high enantioselectivity for acidic compounds in the polar ionic mode. The simultaneous enantiomeric separation of 5 racemic profens using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry with EDP was performed in approximately 3?minutes. Other highlights include simultaneous liquid chromatography separations of rac-amphetamine and rac-methamphetamine with VancoShell, rac-pseudoephedrine and rac-ephedrine with NicoShell, and rac-dichlorprop and rac-haloxyfop with TeicoShell.

- Mapping the substrate scope of monoamine oxidase (MAO-N) as a synthetic tool for the enantioselective synthesis of chiral amines
-
A library of 132 racemic chiral amines (α-substituted methylbenzylamines, benzhydrylamines, 1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthylamines (THNs), indanylamines, allylic and homoallylic amines, propargyl amines) was screened against the most versatile monoamine oxidase (MAO-N) variants D5, D9 and D11. MAO-N D9 exhibited the highest activity for most substrates and was applied to the deracemisation of a comprehensive set of selected primary amines. In all cases, excellent enantioselectivity was achieved (e.e. >99%) with moderate to good yields (55–80%). Conditions for the deracemisation of primary amines using a MAO-N/borane system were further optimised using THN as a template addressing substrate load, nature of the enzyme preparation, buffer systems, borane sources, and organic co-solvents.

- Asymmetric Synthesis of Chiral Primary Amines by Ruthenium-Catalyzed Direct Reductive Amination of Alkyl Aryl Ketones with Ammonium Salts and Molecular H2
-
A ruthenium/C3-TunePhos catalytic system has been identified for highly efficient direct reductive amination of simple ketones. The strategy makes use of ammonium acetate as the amine source and H2 as the reductant and is a user-friendly and operatively simple access to industrially relevant primary amines. Excellent enantiocontrol (>90% ee for most cases) was achieved with a wide range of alkyl aryl ketones. The practicability of this methodology has been highlighted by scalable synthesis of key intermediates of three drug molecules. Moreover, an improved synthetic route to the optimal diphosphine ligand C3-TunePhos is also presented.

- In vitro biocatalytic pathway design: Orthogonal network for the quantitative and stereospecific amination of alcohols
-
The direct and efficient conversion of alcohols into amines is a pivotal transformation in chemistry. Here, we present an artificial, oxidation-reduction, biocatalytic network that employs five enzymes (alcohol dehydrogenase, NADP-oxidase, catalase, amine dehydrogenase and formate dehydrogenase) in two concurrent and orthogonal cycles. The NADP-dependent oxidative cycle converts a diverse range of aromatic and aliphatic alcohol substrates to the carbonyl compound intermediates, whereas the NAD-dependent reductive aminating cycle generates the related amine products with >99% enantiomeric excess (R) and up to >99% conversion. The elevated conversions stem from the favorable thermodynamic equilibrium (K′eq = 1.88 × 1042 and 1.48 × 1041 for the amination of primary and secondary alcohols, respectively). This biocatalytic network possesses elevated atom efficiency, since the reaction buffer (ammonium formate) is both the aminating agent and the source of reducing equivalents. Additionally, only dioxygen is needed, whereas water and carbonate are the by-products. For the oxidative step, we have employed three variants of the NADP-dependent alcohol dehydrogenase from Thermoanaerobacter ethanolicus and we have elucidated the origin of the stereoselective properties of these variants with the aid of in silico computational models.

A Br?nsted acid catalyzed kinetic resolution of primary amines is described that is based on the condensation between an amine and a carbonyl compound. 1,3-Diketones react with racemic α-branched amines to furnish the corresponding enantioenriched enaminone and recovered starting material. Good to excellent enantioselectivity was observed with both aromatic and aliphatic primary amines. This process represents the first small-molecule catalyzed kinetic resolution of aliphatic amines.

- Amine dehydrogenases: Efficient biocatalysts for the reductive amination of carbonyl compounds
-
Amines constitute the major targets for the production of a plethora of chemical compounds that have applications in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical and bulk chemical industries. However, the asymmetric synthesis of α-chiral amines with elevated catalytic efficiency and atom economy is still a very challenging synthetic problem. Here, we investigated the biocatalytic reductive amination of carbonyl compounds employing a rising class of enzymes for amine synthesis: amine dehydrogenases (AmDHs). The three AmDHs from this study-operating in tandem with a formate dehydrogenase from Candida boidinii (Cb-FDH) for the recycling of the nicotinamide coenzyme-performed the efficient amination of a range of diverse aromatic and aliphatic ketones and aldehydes with up to quantitative conversion and elevated turnover numbers (TONs). Moreover, the reductive amination of prochiral ketones proceeded with perfect stereoselectivity, always affording the (R)-configured amines with more than 99% enantiomeric excess. The most suitable amine dehydrogenase, the optimised catalyst loading and the required reaction time were determined for each substrate. The biocatalytic reductive amination with this dual-enzyme system (AmDH-Cb-FDH) possesses elevated atom efficiency as it utilizes the ammonium formate buffer as the source of both nitrogen and reducing equivalents. Inorganic carbonate is the sole by-product.

- Whole-Cell Biocatalysts for Stereoselective C-H Amination Reactions
-
Enantiomerically pure chiral amines are ubiquitous chemical building blocks in bioactive pharmaceutical products and their synthesis from simple starting materials is of great interest. One of the most attractive strategies is the stereoselective installation of a chiral amine through C-H amination, which is a challenging chemical transformation. Herein we report the application of a multienzyme cascade, generated in a single bacterial whole-cell system, which is able to catalyze stereoselective benzylic aminations with ee values of 97.5 %. The cascade uses four heterologously expressed recombinant enzymes with cofactors provided by the host cell and isopropyl amine added as the amine donor. The cascade presents the first example of the successful de novo design of a single whole-cell biocatalyst for formal stereoselective C-H amination.

The global incorporation of 3-fluorotyrosine (FY) into ω-transaminase (ω-TA) to give ω-TA[FY] enhanced the thermostability and organic solvent tolerance without altering substrate specificity and enantioselectivity. Moreover, ω-TA[FY] was able to completely convert 25 mM of acetophenone into (S)-1-phenylethylamine (ee>99%) in the presence of 20% DMSO (v/v) which is 2-fold higher when compared to wild-type ω-TA.

- A highly fluorescent metallosalalen-based chiral cage for enantioselective recognition and sensing
-
A highly fluorescent coordination cage [Zn8L4I 8] has been constructed by treating enantiopure pyridyl- functionalized metallosalalen units (L) with zinc(II) iodide and characterized by a variety of techniques including microanalysis, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy, and single-crystal and powder X-ray diffraction. Strong intermolecular π-π, CH-π, and CH-I interactions direct packing of the cage molecules to generate a 3D polycage network interconnected by pentahedral cages formed by adjacent pentamers. The cage has an amphiphilic helical cavity decorated with chiral NH functionalities capable of interactions with guest species such as saccharides. The fluorescence of the cage was greatly enhanced by five enantiomeric saccharides in solution, with enantioselectivity factors of 2.480-4.943, and by five enantiomeric amines in the solid state, with enantioselective fluorescence enhancement ratios of 1.30-3.60. This remarkable chiral sensing of both saccharides and amines with impressive enantioselectivity may result from the steric confinement of the cavity as well as its conformational rigidity. It holds great promise for the development of novel chiral cage materials for sensing applications. Cage-based chiral sensor: A highly fluorescent coordination cage [Zn8L 4I8] can be prepared from enantiopure pyridyl- functionalized metallosalalen units (L). The cage has an amphiphilic helical cavity decorated with chiral NH functionalities and supramolecular interactions generate a 3D polycage network interconnected by pentahedral cages formed by adjacent pentamers (see graphic). The fluorescence of the cage is greatly enhanced either in solution or in the solid state in the presence of enantiomeric saccharides or amines, respectively, with significant enantioselectivity factors.

The enantioselective reduction of α-methylene nitrile derivatives catalysed by ene-reductases affords the corresponding (R)-2-arylpropanenitriles with high conversion values. The reaction is investigated either in aqueous medium (with an organic cosolvent or by loading the substrate onto hydrophobic resins) or in a biphasic ionic liquid-water system. The use of ionic liquids, herein with isolated ene-reductases, is found to improve the work-up and the substrate recovery method. The synthetic manipulation of the final chiral nitrile derivatives indicates how this biocatalysed method can be exploited for the preparation of a wide range of chiral compounds.

Supported Pd nanoparticles (PdNPs) were modified with various alkalic salts by incipient wetness impregnation method. The effect of the salts on the catalytic activity and selectivity behavior of Pd catalysts for the racemization of (S)-1-phenylethylamine was investigated. The presence of alkalic salts can greatly enhance the selectivity of Pd catalysts, without significantly decreasing the catalytic activity. This modification method is suitable for PdNPs supported on various supports, such as micro/mesoporous silica and activated carbon. Combined with the immobilized lipases (Novozyme 435), this catalyst system can efficiently catalyze the dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR) of 1-phenylethylamine with yield and enantioselectivity up to 97% and 99%, respectively.

- Nickel nanoparticles as racemization catalysts for primary amines
-
By combining bases that are known to racemize benzylic amines with a nickel(II) salt, active nickel nanoparticles were obtained that can be used as catalysts in the racemization of both aliphatic and benzylic primary amines. The nanoparticles are stable in the ionic liquid tetrabutylammonium bromide and can complete most racemizations within a few hours with excellent selectivity. The problem of the incompatibility of the strongly reducing racemization catalyst and the enzymatic amine resolution catalyst was overcome by using a two-pot system with a biphasic racemization step. Consecutive contact of a nonane layer that contained the amine with the acylating enzyme and with the racemizing Ni nanoparticles in the ionic liquid allowed the 50 % amide yield limit of a kinetic resolution to be successfully surpassed.

- Palladium catalysts on alkaline-earth supports for racemization and dynamic kinetic resolution of benzylic amines
-
Palladium catalysts on alka-line-earth supports were studied as new heterogeneous catalysts for racemization of chiral benzylic amines such as 1-phenylethylamine. Particularly 5% Pd/BaSO4 and 5% Pd/CaCO 3 were able to selectively racemize amines, with minimal formation of secondary amines or hydrogenolysis to ethylbenzene. In contrast, these side reactions were pronounced on Pd/C. A reaction mechanism is proposed that is consistent with the reaction kinetics. The catalyst activity was found to depend on the number of available surface Pd atoms, determined by titration with CO. The selectivity crucially depends on the rate of condensation of the amine and the primary imine. which is highest on Pd/C. The racemization catalysts were combined in one pot with an immobilized lipase to perform dynamic kinetic resolution of chiral amines. High yields (up to 88%) of essentially enantiopure amides were obtained in a single step. The chemo-enzymatic catalyst system proved to be stable and could be reused without losing the initial activity.

- Resolution of 1-arylalkylamines with 3-O-hydrogen phthalate glucofuranose derivatives: Role of steric bulk in a family of resolving agents

The development of three new acidic resolving agents which are hydrogen phthalates of 1,2:5,6-di-O-isopropylidene-α-d-glucofuranose 1, 1,2:5,6-di-O-cyclohexylidene-α-d-glucofuranose 2 and 1,2-O- cyclohexylidene-5,6-O-diphenylmethylidene-α-d-glucofuranose 3 is shown for the resolution of 1-arylalkylamines 7a-k. The salts between 1, 2 and (RS)-1-arylalkylamines 7a-k selectively crystallize 1?(S) 7a-j and 2?(S) 7a-h salts, allowing us to recover the corresponding bases (S) 7a-j and (S) 7a-h, respectively, in good yield and enantiomeric excess (73-95% ee). Whereas, the salts between 3 and (RS)-1-arylalkylamines 7a-c,g-i,k selectively crystallize 3?(S)-7a-c,g-i salts to recover the corresponding bases (S)-7a-c,g-i in poor enantiomeric excess (4-35% ee). The difference between the resolving ability of 1 and 2 for 1-arylalkylamines 7a-h is very slight, but there is considerable difference compared to ortho-substituted 1-arylalkylamines 7i and 7j. The role of substituents on a family of resolving agents 1, 2 and 3 is also discussed to interpret their resolving ability.

-
6-Methoxy-2-naphthylglycolic acid (6-MNGA) was designed as a novel acidic resolving agent, on the model of 2-naphthylglycolic acid (2-NGA). Enantiopure 6-MNGA was easily obtained from commercially available 2-bromo-6- methoxynaphthalene through four steps and was found to show a better chiral recognition ability for racemic 1-arylethylamines than the prototype 2-NGA did. The X-ray crystallographic analyses of less-soluble diastereomeric salts revealed that the introduction of a methoxy group at the 6-position of the 2-NGA skeleton made CH/π interaction(s) effective between 6-MNGA molecules and also between the 6-MNGA molecule and the target amine molecule. The methoxy group was also found to contribute to the realization of effective van der Waals interaction. These interactions played important roles for the stabilization of the less-soluble diastereomeric salts to improve the chiral recognition ability of 6-MNGA, compared to that of 2-NGA.

- Resolution of methyl-1-phenylethylamines by acidic derivatives of 1-phenylethylamine
-
Methyl-1-phenylethylamines were resolved by phenylethylamine derivatives formed with a homologous series of dicarboxylic acids. The structure of the 4-methyl-1-phenylethylamine N-(1-phenylethylamine) succinic acid monoamide diastereoisomeric salt was investigated by single crystal X-ray diffraction.

- A new hydrogen-bonding motif for chiral recognition in the diastereomeric salts of racemic 1-phenylethylamine derivatives with enantiopure O-ethyl phenylphosphonothioic acid
-
(Chemical Equation Presented) An enantiopure phosphonothioic acid showed a unique and superior chiral recognition ability, arising from its P-stereogenicity, for racemic 1-phenylethylamine derivatives through diastereomeric crystallization. Spherical molecular clusters, associated by hydrogen bonds and CH/π interactions, aggregated with high symmetry in the less-soluble diastereomeric salts.

- Enantioselective synthesis of primary 1-(aryl)alkylamines by nucleophilic 1,2-addition of organolithium reagents to hydroxyoxime ethers and application to asymmetric synthesis of G-protein-coupled receptor ligands
-
(E)-Arylaldehyde oxime ethers bearing a (1S)-2-hydroxy-1-phenylethyl or (2R)-1-hydroxy-2-phenylethyl group as a chiral auxiliary, both derived from a single precursor, methyl (R)-mandelate, underwent nucleophilic addition with organolithium reagents via six-membered chelates to give the diastereomerically enriched (R)- and (S)-adducts, respectively, which, after chiral auxiliary removal by reductive N-O bond cleavage, led to the corresponding (R)- and (S)-1-(aryl)ethylamines. This organolithium addition protocol using methyllithium was applied in an enantiodivergent fashion to the preparation of both enantiomers of 1-(2-hydroxyphenyl)ethylamine, which has been previously used as an efficient chiral auxiliary for the synthesis of natural products in this laboratory. The synthetic utility of this methodology involving diastereoselective methyl addition was demonstrated by further application to the asymmetric synthesis of a new type of calcium receptor agonist (calcimimetics), (R)-(+)-NPS R-568 and its thio analogue. Furthermore, diastereoselective vinylation was accomplished by application of the hydroxy oxime ether-based protocol using vinyllithium, which allowed the development of the enantioselective synthesis of the NK-1 receptor antagonists, (+)-CP-99,994 and (+)-CP-122,721.

- Resolution of 1-arylethylamines with 5-(1,2-O-isopropylidene-3,6-anhydro- α-D-glucofuranosyl) hydrogen phthalate
-
The potential of the hydrogen phthalate of 1,2-O-isopropylidene-3,6- anhydro-α-D-glucofuranose 1 obtainable by the reaction of phthalic anhydride with 1,2-O-isopropylidene-3,6-anhydro-α-D-glucofuranose 8 as a new resolving agent is shown. The salts between 1 and (RS)-1-arylethylamines 2-6 and (RS)-1-arylpropylamine 7 selectively crystallize 1·(R)-salts allowing the recovery of the corresponding (R)-amines 2-7. The more soluble 1·(S)-salts were analogously processed to obtain (S)-amines, respectively. In all of the cases (R)- and (S)-amines 2-7 were obtained in high chemical yield and enantiomeric excess >98%. Resolving agent 1 has been recovered in a quantitative yield and high purity.

- Highly Enantioselective Hydrogen-Transfer Reductive Amination: Catalytic Asymmetric Synthesis of Primary Amines
-
Ammonium formate is the hydrogen source in the catalytic asymmetric reductive amination of ketones presented here (Leuckart-Wallach-type reaction). The reaction proceeds smoothly in methanol in the presence of Ir, Rh, and Ru catalysts. Primary amines were obtained as products in good yields with high enantioselectivities after hydrolytic workup when [((R)-tol-binap) RuCl 2] was used as the catalyst (see scheme).

- Nucleophilic addition of methyllithium to chiral oxime ethers: Asymmetric preparation of 1-(aryl)ethylamines and application to a synthesis of calcimimetics (+)-NPS R-568 and its thio analogue
-
Chiral (E)-arylaldehyde oxime ethers, prepared using (R)-1-phenyl-1,2-ethanediol as a chiral auxiliary, undergo nucleophilic addition with methyllithium to give diastereomerically enriched O-alkyl hydroxylamines which, after reductive N-O bond cleavage, lead to the corresponding (R)-1-(aryl)ethylamines. This methodology has been applied to the enantioselective synthesis of a new type of arylalkylamine calcimimetics (R)-(+)-NPS R-568 and its thio analogue.

- A high-performance, tailor-made resolving agent: Remarkable enhancement of resolution ability by introducing a naphthyl group into the fundamental skeleton1
-
A novel resolving agent, 2-naphthylglycolic acid (2-NGA), was designed for p-substituted 1-arylethylamines on the basis of the consideration that a rigid and large naphthyl group would be favorable for the close packing of supramolecular hydrogen-bond sheets formed between the carboxy groups of 2-NGA and the amino groups of p-substituted 1-arylethylamines. Racemic 2-NGA was readily available from commercially available raw materials, and both enantiopure forms could be obtained by simple diastereomeric resolution with enantiopure 1-phenyl-ethylamine. Thus-prepared enantiopure 2-NGA was found to have an excellent resolution ability not only for p-substituted 1-arylethylamines, but also for a wide variety of chiral primary amines. X-Ray crystallographic analyses of the less- and more-soluble diastereomeric salts revealed that this excellent resolution ability of 2-NGA arose from the formation of a supramolecular hydrogen-bond sheet with the primary amine, as we had expected, and also from the possible achievement of an infinite chain of CH... π interaction between its naphthyl group and the aromatic group of the amine, which was formed in the hydrophobic region of the supramolecular hydrogen-bond sheet.

A tailored resolving agent for p-substituted l-arylethylamines, which was designed on the basis of a criterion derived from our crystal-structure study, namely that the racemate and the resolving agent should have similar molecular lengths, is described. The designed enantiopure (2- naphthyl)glycolie acid (2-NGA) showed excellent resolving ability for a wide variety of p-substituted l-arylethylamines.

- Design of resolving reagents: p-substituted mandelic acids as resolving reagents for 1-arylalkylamines
-
The resolution of 1-arylalkylamines 2-10 by mandelic acid 1 was studied. It was found that a substituent, which elongated the molecular length of the amines, diminished the resolution efficiency. On the basis of these results, (S)-p-methylmandelic acid (S)-11 and (R)-p-methoxymandelic acid (R)-12 were selected as new resolving reagents for the 1-arylalkylamines; these acids were found to have a higher resolving ability than (R)-1.

- Asymmetric synthesis of amines using a chiral, non-racemic, benzylidene sulfinamide derived from a recoverable precursor
-
The homochiral cyclic sulfinamide S(S)R-(+)-1 has been employed for the asymmetric synthesis of α-substituted benzylamines via the benzylidene sulfinamides R(S)R-(-)-4. Following diastereoselective reduction and hydrolysis S(S)R-(+)-1 can be recycled in one step from the sulfinic acid 11. The addition of zinc(II) bromide reverses the diastereoselectivity of the diisobutylaluminium hydride (DIBAL) reduction of the substrates 4. The same reversal is not observed in the reactions of analogues lacking an amide side chain. In one case the required benzylidene sulfinamide exists in the form of an enamine 15, the X-ray crystallographic structure of which is also featured. A second approach to chiral amines, via the addition of Grignard reagents to sulfinylamines derived from S(S)R-(+)-1, is also described.

- Asymmetric synthesis of amines by the reductive amination of ketones using (+) and (-) norepinephrine followed by periodate oxidation
-
A new route for the synthesis of aralkyl primary amines is reported, where the commercially available (+) or (-) norepinephrine is condensed with aralkyl ketones followed by hydrogenation of the Schiff base using platinum catalyst. The chiral β-aminoalcohols thus obtained were oxidized by periodate to yield the aralkyl primary amines in 54-66% enantiomeric excess.
