Enantioselective hydrocyanation of N-benzyloxycarbonyl aldimines catalyzed by a Ru[(S)-phgly]2[(S)-binap]/C6H5OLi system or a bimetallic complex [Li{Ru[(S)-phgly]2[(S)-binap]}]Cl affords the amino nitriles in 92 - 99% ee. The reaction is carried out in tert-C 4H9OCH3 with a substrate-to-catalyst molar ratio in the range of 500 - 5000 at -20 to 0°C. Primary, secondary, and tertiary alkyl imines as well as the aryl and heteroaryl substrates are smoothly cyanated to produce the desired products in high yield.
One-pot, regioselective synthesis of substituted arylglycines for kinetic resolution by penicillin G acylase

experimental part, p. 1729 - 1735 (2009/07/24)
Amido-alkylation of electron-rich arenes with phenylacetamide and glyoxylic acid offers an in-expensive route to a large variety of N-phenylacetylated arylglycines that are suited for immediate enzymatic resolution by penicillin G acylase. When performed under mild conditions at 5 °C in acetic acid/HCl, this simple one-pot operation resulted in the formation of single regioisomers only (≥98%). Subsequent kinetic resolution of the amino acid derivatives by penicillin G acylase at pH 8.0 occurred generally with E values >100 and thus furnished free (S)-configurated arylglycines with high enantiomeric purity. The corresponding enantiopure (R)-substrates, easily separable by a phase-selective extraction process, provided the corresponding (R)-enantiomers upon conventional hydrolysis. This one-pot, two-step procedure for arylglycine synthesis, resolution and work-up requires a minimum of equipment and grants rapid access to both enantiopure (S)- and (R)-antipodes of non-natural α-amino acids in small-to large-scale quantities.
An Efficient and Practical Synthesis of L-α-Amino Acids Using (R)-Phenylglycinol as a Chiral Auxiliary

L-α-Amino acids including L-α-arylglycines were conveniently and stereoselectively synthesized via the α-amino carbonitriles given by the Strecker reaction of (R)-2-amino-2-phenylethanol with aldehydes and hydrogen cyanide.The stereoselectivity of these α-amino carbonitriles was thermodynamically controlled.
