A method has been developed to assign the absolute configuration and enantiomeric excess of anabasine based on small amounts of material (in the microgram range), by derivatization with (+)-menthylchloroformate followed by capillary GC analysis of the resulting carbamate(s). This method was applied to three samples of anabasine isolated from Messor and Aphaenogaster ants. In Messor sanctus, only (2′S)-anabasine was present, whereas in Aphaenogaster subterranea and A. miamiana (2′S)-anabasine was determined to have an ee of 78 and 24%, respectively.
Nicotine and pesticide poisonous chenopodium album method for the asymmetric synthesis of alkali

Paragraph 0017; 0029-0030, (2017/02/24)
The invention relates to an asymmetric synthesis method for botanical pesticide nicotine and anabasine. The low-cost and easily acquired 2,5-dibromopyridine is taken as an initial raw material and is processed in two steps, so that the hydrogenation precursor annular imine is acquired; under the induction of the chiral catalyst, iridium-phosphine oxazoline, an important hydrogenated product intermediate is acquired through high enantioselectivity; the intermediate is processed in two steps, so that L-nicotine is acquired; the intermediate is converted into L-anabasine in one step. The asymmetric hydrogenation of the annular imine containing pyridine gene is taken as the key step of the method. According to the invention, the chiral catalyst, iridium-phosphine oxazoline, is used for catalyzing the asymmetric hydrogenation and the key intermediate with ultrahigh ee value is acquired, and then the methylation and reduction bromine-removing two-step reaction is performed for converting, so that the target products, natural nicotine and anabasine, are acquired. According to the invention, the operation is stable, the purity is high and the cost is low.

Amine oxidases are useful bio-catalysts for the synthesis of enantiomerically pure 1°, 2° and 3° chiral amines. Enzymes in this class (e.g., MAO-N from Aspergillus niger) reported previously have been shown to be highly S selective. Herein we report the development of an enantiocomplementary R-selective amine oxidase based on 6-hydroxy-D-nicotine oxidase (6-HDNO) with broadened substrate scope and high enantioselectivity. The engineered 6-HDNO enzyme has been applied to the preparative deracemisation of a range of racemic amines to yield S-configured products, for example, (S)-nicotine, in high ee. Nicotine rush: An R-selective amine oxidase based on 6-hydroxy-D-nicotine oxidase (6-HDNO) with broadened substrate scope and high enantioselectivity has been developed. The engineered 6-HDNO enzyme is applied to the preparative deracemization of a range of racemic amines to yield S-configured products, for example, (S)-nicotine, in high ee.
