Asymmetric Synthesis of N-Substituted α-Amino Esters from α-Ketoesters via Imine Reductase-Catalyzed Reductive Amination

N-Substituted α-amino esters are widely used as chiral intermediates in a range of pharmaceuticals. Here we report the enantioselective biocatalyic synthesis of N-substituted α-amino esters through the direct reductive coupling of α-ketoesters and amines employing sequence diverse metagenomic imine reductases (IREDs). Both enantiomers of N-substituted α-amino esters were obtained with high conversion and excellent enantioselectivity under mild reaction conditions. In addition >20 different preparative scale transformations were performed highlighting the scalability of this system.

Enantioselective catalytic synthesis of ethyl mandelate derivatives using Rh(I)-NHC catalysts and organoboron reagents

Herein we describe for the first time the enantioselective catalytic arylation of ethyl glyoxalate using phenylboron reagents and chiral rhodium(I)-NHC catalysts. KOtBu was the base of choice, along with tert-amyl alcohol as the solvent. A novel chiral bis-imidazolium salt was synthesized and evaluated for the first time in this catalytic transformation. Although moderate enantioselectivities (up to 34% ee) were obtained for the phenylation reaction, despite the excellent yields, very low enantioselectivities were obtained using other arylboronic acids with a variety of chiral rhodium(I)-NHC catalysts.

Expeditious and novel synthesis of α-hydroxyesters via rhodium-NHC catalyzed arylation of ethyl glyoxalate

The rhodium-NHC catalyzed arylation reaction of ethyl glyoxalate with aryl and alkyl boronic acids provides an efficient method for the synthesis of α-hydroxyesters. A wide range of α-hydroxyesters (up to 12) were prepared in good to excellent yields. KOtBu was the base of choice, along with tert-amyl alcohol as the solvent. As far as we are aware, this is the first report of this catalytic arylation, using rhodium-NHC catalysts with this specific substrate type.

METHOD FOR PRODUCING OPTICALLY ACTIVE 2-HYDROXY ESTER AND NOVEL INTERMEDIATE COMPOUND

Disclosed is a method for producing an optically active 2-hydroxy ester, comprising selectively esterifying one enantiomer of a racemic 2-hydroxy ester in a solvent containing a catalyst such as tetramisole or benzotetramisole, and a carboxylic acid anhydride, or a carboxylic acid anhydride and a carboxylic acid. In particular, in the case where the solvent contains a carboxylic acid anhydride, but does not contain a carboxylic acid, as the carboxylic acid anhydride, a carboxylic acid anhydride containing a tertiary or quaternary carbon atom in the a-position is used. On the other hand, in the case where the solvent contains a carboxylic acid anhydride and a carboxylic acid, as the carboxylic acid, a carboxylic acid containing a tertiary or quaternary carbon atom in the a-position is used.

Kinetic resolution of the racemic 2-hydroxyalkanoates using the enantioselective mixed-anhydride method with pivalic anhydride and a chiral acyl-transfer catalyst

A variety of optically active 2-hydroxyalkanoates and the corresponding 2-acyloxyalkanoates are produced by the kinetic resolution of racemic 2-hydroxyalkanoates by using achiral 2,2-diarylacetic acid with hindered carboxylic anhydrides as the coupling reagents. The combined use of diphenylacetic acid, pivalic anhydride, and (+)-(R)-benzotetramisole ((R)-BTM) effectively produces (S)-2-hydroxyalkanoates and (R)-2-acyloxyalkanoates from the racemic 2-hydroxyalkanoates (s-values = 47-202). This protocol directly provides the desired chiral 2-hydroxyalkanoate derivatives from achiral diarylacetic acid and racemic secondary alcohols that do not include the sec-phenethyl alcohol moiety by using the transacylation process to generate the mixed anhydrides from the acid components with bulky carboxylic anhydrides under the influence of the chiral acyl-transfer catalyst. The transition state that provides the desired (R)-2-acyloxyalkanoate from (R)-2-hydroxyalkanoate included in the racemic mixture is disclosed by DFT calculations, and the structural features of the transition form are also discussed.

Stereoselective reduction of carbonyl compounds with actinomycete: Purification and characterization of three α-keto ester reductases from Streptomyces avermitilis

We achieved the purification of three α-keto ester reductases (Streptomyces avermitilis keto ester reductase, SAKERs-I, -II, and -III) from Streptomyces avermitilis NBRC14893 whole cells. The molecular masses of the native SAKERs-I, -II, and -III were estimated to be 72, 38, and 36 kDa, respectively, by gel filtration chromatography. The subunit molecular masses of SAKERs-I, -II, and -III were also estimated to be 32, 32, and 34 kDa, respectively, by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The purified SAKERs-II and -III showed a reducing activity for α-keto esters (in particular, for ethyl pyruvate). SAKER-I showed a high reducing activity not only toward the α- and β-keto esters, but also toward α-keto acid. The N-terminal region amino acid sequences of SAKERs-I, -II, and -III were identical to that of a putative oxidoreductase, SAV2750, a putative oxidoreductase, SAV1849, and a putative oxidoreductase, SAV4117, respectively, hypothetical proteins coded on the S. avermitilis genome.
