, p. 5319 - 5321 (2007/10/03)
The reaction of benzyloxycarbonyl-5-oxazolidinones with alcohols and sodium hydrogen carbonate to afford the corresponding benzyloxycarbonyl esters is described.
An Improved Preparation of Oxazolidin-2-one Chiral Auxiliaries
Sudharshan, Manjula,Hultin, Philip G.
, p. 171 - 172 (2007/10/03)
Reduction of carbamate-blocked amino esters by lithium borohydride (made in situ from sodium borohydride and lithium iodide) forms chiral 4-substituted oxazolidin-2-ones directly. The presence of iodide in the reaction mixture appears to promote the cyclization of the intermediate alkoxyborohydride. This provides a route to these important chiral auxiliaries, employing less hazardous reagents and simpler reaction conditions than do most existing methods.
PAPAIN-ASSISTED RESOLUTION OF NATURAL AND XENOBIOTIC α-AMINO ACIDS
Moriniere, J. L.,Danree, B.,Lemoine, J.,Guy, A.
, p. 441 - 444 (2007/10/02)
A new and convenient method for the preparation of pure enantiomers of α-amino acids is described.Industrial papain, catalyzes the synthesis of L-Z-amino acid ethyl esters in ethanolic medium, with good yields.These esters are obtained from DL-Z-amino acids with 100percent optical purity.Unreactive D-Z-amino acids are readily isolated from reaction medium.Physical constants of natural and xenobiotic L-Z-amino acid esters and D-Z-amino acids are described.
