- Reactive extraction of enantiomers of 1,2-amino alcohols via stereoselective thermodynamic and kinetic processes
-
(Chemical Equation Presented) (R)-Amino alcohol with an enantiomeric excess of >95% was resolved by reactive extraction processes from 2 equiv of racemic alcohol using a chiral receptor 2 as an enantioselective extractant. One resolution cycle is composed of three extractions: a stereoselective reversible imine formation, a stereoselective irreversible imine hydrolysis, and the recovery of 2 and enantiomeric amino alcohols.

- Construction and activity evaluation of novel dual-target (SE/CYP51) anti-fungal agents containing amide naphthyl structure
-
With the increase of fungal infection and drug resistance, it is becoming an urgent task to discover the highly effective antifungal drugs. In the study, we selected the key ergosterol bio-synthetic enzymes (Squalene epoxidase, SE; 14 α-demethylase, CYP51) as dual-target receptors to guide the construction of novel antifungal compounds, which could achieve the purpose of improving drug efficacy and reducing drug-resistance. Three different series of amide naphthyl compounds were generated through the method of skeleton growth, and their corresponding target products were synthesized. Most of compounds displayed the obvious biological activity against different Candida spp. and Aspergillus fumigatus. Among of them, target compounds 14a-2 and 20b-2 not only possessed the excellent broad-spectrum anti-fungal activity (MIC50, 0.125–2 μg/mL), but also maintained the anti-drug-resistant fungal activity (MIC50, 1–4 μg/mL). Preliminary mechanism study revealed the compounds (14a-2, 20b-2) could block the bio-synthetic pathway of ergosterol by inhibiting the dual-target (SE/CYP51) activity, and this finally caused the cleavage and death of fungal cells. In addition, we also discovered that compounds 14a-2 and 20b-2 with low toxic and side effects could exert the excellent therapeutic effect in mice model of fungal infection, which was worthy for further in-depth study.

- Bioproduction of Enantiopure (R)- and (S)-2-Phenylglycinols from Styrenes and Renewable Feedstocks
-
Enantiopure (R)- and (S)-2-phenylglycinols are important chiral building blocks for pharmaceutical manufacturing. Several chemical and enzymatic methods for their synthesis were reported, either involving multi-step synthesis or starting from a relatively complex chemical. Here, we developed one-pot simple syntheses of enantiopure (R)- and (S)-2-phenylglycinols from cheap starting materials and renewable feedstocks. Enzyme cascades consisting of epoxidation-hydrolysis-oxidation-transamination were developed to convert styrene 2 a to (R)- and (S)-2-phenylglycinol 1 a, with butanediol dehydrogenase for alcohol oxidation as well as BmTA and NfTA for (R)- and (S)-enantioselective transamination, respectively. The engineered E. coli strains expressing the cascades produced 1015 mg/L (R)-1 a in >99% ee and 315 mg/L (S)-1 a in 91% ee, respectively, from styrene 2 a. The same cascade also converted substituted styrenes 2 b–k and indene 2 l into substituted (R)-phenylglycinols 1 b–k and (1R, 2R)-1-amino-2-indanol 1 l in 95–>99% ee. To transform bio-based L-phenylalanine 6 to (R)-1 a and (S)-1 a, (R)- and (S)-enantioselective enzyme cascades for deamination-decarboxylation-epoxidation-hydrolysis-oxidation-transamination were developed. The engineered E. coli strains produced (R)-1 a and (S)-1 a in high ee at 576 mg/L and 356 mg/L, respectively, from L-phenylalanine 6, as the first synthesis of these compounds from a bio-based chemical. Finally, L-phenylalanine biosynthesis pathway was combined with (R)- or (S)-enantioselective cascade in one strain or coupled strains, to achieve the first synthesis of (R)-1 a and (S)-1 a from a renewable feedstock. The coupled strain approach enhanced the production, affording 274 and 384 mg/L (R)-1 a and 274 and 301 mg/L (S)-1 a, from glucose and glycerol, respectively. The developed methods could be potentially useful to produce these high-value chemicals from cheap starting materials and renewable feedstocks in a green and sustainable manner. (Figure presented.).

- Highly Stable Zr(IV)-Based Metal-Organic Frameworks for Chiral Separation in Reversed-Phase Liquid Chromatography
-
Separation of racemic mixtures is of great importance and interest in chemistry and pharmacology. Porous materials including metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been widely explored as chiral stationary phases (CSPs) in chiral resolution. However, it remains a challenge to develop new CSPs for reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC), which is the most popular chromatographic mode and accounts for over 90% of all separations. Here we demonstrated for the first time that highly stable Zr-based MOFs can be efficient CSPs for RP-HPLC. By elaborately designing and synthesizing three tetracarboxylate ligands of enantiopure 1,1′-biphenyl-20-crown-6, we prepared three chiral porous Zr(IV)-MOFs with the framework formula [Zr6O4(OH)8(H2O)4(L)2]. They share the same flu topological structure but channels of different sizes and display excellent tolerance to water, acid, and base. Chiral crown ether moieties are periodically aligned within the framework channels, allowing for stereoselective recognition of guest molecules via supramolecular interactions. Under acidic aqueous eluent conditions, the Zr-MOF-packed HPLC columns provide high resolution, selectivity, and durability for the separation of a variety of model racemates, including unprotected and protected amino acids and N-containing drugs, which are comparable to or even superior to several commercial chiral columns for HPLC separation. DFT calculations suggest that the Zr-MOF provides a confined microenvironment for chiral crown ethers that dictates the separation selectivity.

- Enantioselective radical C–H amination for the synthesis of β-amino alcohols
-
Asymmetric, radical C–H functionalizations are rare but powerful tools for solving modern synthetic challenges. Specifically, the enantio- and regioselective C–H amination of alcohols to access medicinally valuable chiral β-amino alcohols remains elusive. To solve this challenge, a radical relay chaperone strategy was designed, wherein an alcohol was transiently converted to an imidate radical that underwent intramolecular H-atom transfer (HAT). This regioselective HAT was also rendered enantioselective by harnessing energy transfer catalysis to mediate selective radical generation and interception by a chiral copper catalyst. The successful development of this multi-catalytic, asymmetric, radical C–H amination enabled broad access to chiral β-amino alcohols from a variety of alcohols containing alkyl, allyl, benzyl and propargyl C–H bonds. Mechanistic experiments revealed that triplet energy sensitization of a Cu-bound radical precursor facilitates catalyst-mediated HAT stereoselectivity, enabling the synthesis of several important classes of chiral β-amines by enantioselective, radical C–H amination.

- General Method for the Asymmetric Synthesis of N-H Sulfoximines via C-S Bond Formation
-
A versatile method for the synthesis of enantioenriched N-H sulfoximines is reported. The approach stems from the organomagnesium-mediated ring opening of novel cyclic sulfonimidate templates. The reactions proceed in high yield and with excellent stereofidelity with alkyl, aryl, and heteroaryl Grignard reagents. The chiral auxiliary is readily removed from the resultant sulfoximines via an unusual oxidative debenzylation protocol that utilizes molecular oxygen as the terminal oxidant. This provides a general strategy for the synthesis of highly enantioenriched N-H sulfoximines.

- Monofluoroalkene-Isostere as a 19F NMR Label for the Peptide Backbone: Synthesis and Evaluation in Membrane-Bound PGLa and (KIGAKI)3
-
Solid-state 19F NMR is a powerful method to study the interactions of biologically active peptides with membranes. So far, in labelled peptides, the 19F-reporter group has always been installed on the side chain of an amino acid. Given the fact that monofluoroalkenes are non-hydrolyzable peptide bond mimics, we have synthesized a monofluoroalkene-based dipeptide isostere, Val-Ψ[(Z)-CF=CH]-Gly, and inserted it in the sequence of two well-studied antimicrobial peptides: PGLa and (KIGAKI)3 are representatives of an α-helix and a β-sheet. The conformations and biological activities of these labeled peptides were studied to assess the suitability of monofluoroalkenes for 19F NMR structure analysis.

- Site-Specific C(sp3)–H Aminations of Imidates and Amidines Enabled by Covalently Tethered Distonic Radical Anions
-
The utilization of N-centered radicals to synthesize nitrogen-containing compounds has attracted considerable attention recently, due to their powerful reactivities and the concomitant construction of C?N bonds. However, the generation and control of N-centered radicals remain particularly challenging. We report a tethering strategy using SOMO-HOMO-converted distonic radical anions for the site-specific aminations of imidates and amidines with aid of the non-covalent interaction. This reaction features a remarkably broad substrate scope and also enables the late-stage functionalization of bioactive molecules. Furthermore, the reaction mechanism is thoroughly investigated through kinetic studies, Raman spectroscopy, electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy, and density functional theory calculations, revealing that the aminations likely involve direct homolytic cleavage of N?H bonds and subsequently controllable 1,5 or 1,6 hydrogen atom transfer.

- Method for preparing amino alcohol compound by using halogenated intermediate
-
The invention discloses a method for preparing an amino alcohol compound by utilizing a halogenated intermediate. According to the method, an oxygen-halogen bond can be prepared by utilizing cyclic diacyl peroxide and halogenated salt under an illumination condition, and the oxygen-halogen bond is prone to homolysis under an illumination condition to form an active free radical, so the amino alcohol is finally prepared. The novel method for synthesizing the amino alcohol is high in atom utilization rate, simple in synthesis method and high in yield, so the consumption of halide for reactions with synthesis values is reduced, and the purposes of environmental protection and green chemistry are better achieved.

- Tuning Triplet Energy Transfer of Hydroxamates as the Nitrene Precursor for Intramolecular C(sp3)-H Amidation
-
Reported herein is the design of a photosensitization strategy to generate triplet nitrenes and its applicability for the intramolecular C-H amidation reactions. Substrate optimization by tuning physical organic parameters according to the proposed energy transfer pathway led us to identify hydroxamates as a convenient nitrene precursor. While more classical nitrene sources, representatively organic azides, were ineffective under the current photosensitization conditions, hydroxamates, which are readily available from alcohols or carboxylic acids, are highly efficient in accessing synthetically valuable 2-oxazolidinones and γ-lactams by visible light. Mechanism studies supported our working hypothesis that the energy transfer path is mainly operative.

An electrochemical four-component reaction cascade Mumm rearrangement was developed. It is a rare example of in situ generation of O-acyl isoamides for 1,3-(O→N) acyl transfer. Inexpensive, commercially available arylethylenes, aryl or heterocyclic acids, acetonitrile, and alcohols were used as substrates. A wide range of aryl acids and alcohols were tolerated and provided imides in satisfactory yields.

(R)-Phenylglycinol is an important chiral building block for pharmaceutical and fine chemical industry, and its efficient synthesis from cheap and commercially available starting materials is challenging and highly desirable. Herein, a new three-step one-pot cascade system employing epoxide hydrolase, glycerol dehydrogenase, and ω-transaminase was designed for the asymmetric synthesis of (R)-phenylglycinol from racemic styrene oxide. A cofactor self-sufficient system employing AlaDH/L?Ala was utilized for the regeneration of expensive cofactor NAD+ and removal of by-product pyruvate. Furthermore, in situ product removal by cation resin adsorption was used to drive the thermodynamic equilibrium of the cascade reaction to the direction of product generation. Finally, optically pure (R)-phenylglycinol was successfully produced from racemic styrene oxide with high yield (81.9 %) and excellent enantioselectivity (99 % ee).

The invention provides a borohydride reduction stabilizing system and a method for reducing ester into alcohol. The borohydride reduction stabilizing system comprises a borohydride reducing agent anda stabilizer for stabilizing the borohydride reducing agent, wherein the borohydride reducing agent is sodium borohydride or potassium borohydride, and the stabilizer is an alkali metal salt of alcohol. On the basis of an existing sodium borohydride/potassium reducing agent, an alcohol alkali metal salt (such as sodium alcoholate or potassium alcoholate) is added, and then the sodium borohydride/potassium reducing agent can keep stable and is not decomposed under a heating condition, so that on one hand, reduction activity is maintained in a relatively high state and the situation of excessiveuse is reduced, and on the other hand, generation of hydrogen is reduced and the process risk is reduced.

- Rapid and Quantitative Profiling of Substrate Specificity of ω-Transaminases for Ketones
-
ω-Transaminases (ω-TAs) have gained growing attention owing to their capability for asymmetric synthesis of chiral amines from ketones. Reliable high-throughput activity assay of ω-TAs is essential in carrying out extensive substrate profiling and establishing a robust screening platform. Here we report spectrophotometric and colorimetric methods enabling rapid quantitation of ω-TA activities toward ketones in a 96-well microplate format. The assay methods employ benzylamine, a reactive amino donor for ω-TAs, as a cosubstrate and exploit aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) as a reporter enzyme, leading to formation of benzaldehyde detectable by ALDH owing to concomitant NADH generation. Spectrophotometric substrate profiling of two wild-type ω-TAs of opposite stereoselectivity was carried out at 340 nm with 22 ketones, revealing subtle differences in substrate specificities that were consistent with docking simulation results obtained with cognate amines. Colorimetric readout for naked eye detection of the ω-TA activity was also demonstrated by supplementing the assay mixture with color-developing reagents whose color reaction could be quantified at 580 nm. The colorimetric assay was applied to substrate profiling of an engineered ω-TA for 24 ketones, leading to rapid identification of reactive ketones. The ALDH-based assay is expected to be promising for high-throughput screening of enzyme collections and mutant libraries to fish out the best ω-TA candidate as well as to tailor enzyme properties for efficient amination of a target ketone.

-
A base-induced dearomative [2,3] sigmatropic rearrangement of amino acid ester-derived ammonium salts followed by 1,4-elimination produced α-(ortho-vinylphenyl)amino acid esters. The reaction of azetidine-2-carboxylic acid-derived ammonium salt, (1S,2S,1′R)-3b, proceeded with a perfect N-to-C chirality transfer to afford α-(ortho-vinylphenyl)azetidine-2-carboxylic acid ester, (R)-5 (99% ee). On the other hand, the reaction of glycine-derived ammonium salt (R)-6a, which involves an efficient chirality transfer from a chiral benzylic carbon to an α-carbon of an ester carbonyl giving the optically active α-(ortho-vinylphenyl)glycine ester, (R)-8a (85% ee), was demonstrated. Although this dearomative [2,3] rearrangement followed by 1,4-elimination has limitations with regard to the structures of the substrates, our method provides unique access to substituted α-arylamino acid derivatives.

- Highly Efficient and Robust Enantioselective Liquid–Liquid Extraction of 1,2-Amino Alcohols utilizing VAPOL- and VANOL-based Phosphoric Acid Hosts
-
The large-scale production of enantiopure compounds in a cost-effective and environmentally friendly manner remains one of the major challenges of modern-day chemistry. The resolution of racemates through enantioselective liquid–liquid extraction was developed as a suitable solution but has remained largely underused, owing to a lack of highly efficient and robust chiral hosts to mediate the process. This paucity of hosts can in part be attributed to a poor understanding of the underlying principles behind these processes hindering the design of more efficient selectors. A previously untested class of hosts, VAPOL and VANOL derived phosphoric acids, has been studied in depth for the efficient enantioselective liquid–liquid extraction of 1,2-amino alcohols. A systematic investigation of extraction parameters was conducted, revealing many key interactions and DFT calculations illustrate the binding modes for the 1:1 complexes that are involved in chiral recognition. The resulting, now-optimized, procedures are highly robust and easy to implement. They are also easily scalable, as demonstrated by U-tube experiments.

- Directed β C-H Amination of Alcohols via Radical Relay Chaperones
-
A radical-mediated strategy for β C-H amination of alcohols has been developed. This approach employs a radical relay chaperone, which serves as a traceless director that facilitates selective C-H functionalization via 1,5-hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) and enables net incorporation of ammonia at the β carbon of alcohols. The chaperones presented herein enable direct access to imidate radicals, allowing their first use for H atom abstraction. A streamlined protocol enables rapid conversion of alcohols to their β-amino analogs (via in situ conversion of alcohols to imidates, directed C-H amination, and hydrolysis to NH2). Mechanistic experiments indicate HAT is rate-limiting, whereas intramolecular amination is product- and stereo-determining.

- Highly efficient enantioselective liquid-liquid extraction of 1,2-amino-alcohols using SPINOL based phosphoric acid hosts
-
Access to enantiopure compounds on large scale in an environmentally friendly and cost-efficient manner remains one of the greatest challenges in chemistry. Resolution of racemates using enantioselective liquid-liquid extraction has great potential to meet that challenge. However, a relatively feeble understanding of the chemical principles and physical properties behind this technique has hampered the development of hosts possessing sufficient resolving power for their application to large scale processes. Herein we present, employing the previously untested SPINOL based phosphoric acids host family, an in depths study of the parameters affecting the efficiency of the resolution of amino-alcohols in the optic of further understanding the core principles behind ELLE. We have systematically investigated the dependencies of the enantioselection by parameters such as the choice of solvent, the temperature, as well as the pH and bring to light many previously unsuspected and highly intriguing interactions. Furthermore, utilizing these new insights to our advantage, we developed novel, highly efficient, extraction and resolving protocols which provide remarkable levels of enantioselectivity. It was shown that the extraction is catalytic in host by demonstrating transport in a U-tube and finally it was demonstrated how the solvent dependency could be exploited in an unprecedented triphasic resolution system.

- Identification of (S)-selective transaminases for the asymmetric synthesis of bulky chiral amines
-
The use of transaminases to access pharmaceutically relevant chiral amines is an attractive alternative to transition-metal-catalysed asymmetric chemical synthesis. However, one major challenge is their limited substrate scope. Here we report the creation of highly active and stereoselective transaminases starting from fold class I. The transaminases were developed by extensive protein engineering followed by optimization of the identified motif. The resulting enzymes exhibited up to 8,900-fold higher activity than the starting scaffold and are highly stereoselective (up to >99.9% enantiomeric excess) in the asymmetric synthesis of a set of chiral amines bearing bulky substituents. These enzymes should therefore be suitable for use in the synthesis of a wide array of potential intermediates for pharmaceuticals. We also show that the motif can be engineered into other protein scaffolds with sequence identities as low as 70%, and as such should have a broad impact in the field of biocatalytic synthesis and enzyme engineering.

In this work we applied a blend of computational and synthetic techniques with the aim to design, synthesize, and characterize new σ1 receptor (σ1R) ligands. Starting from the structure of previously reported, high-affinity benzoxazolone-based σ1 ligands, the three-dimensional homology model of the σ1R was exploited for retrieving the molecular determinants to fulfill the optimal pharmacophore requirements. Accordingly, the benzoxazolone moiety was replaced by other heterocyclic scaffolds, the relevant conformational space in the σ1R binding cavity was explored, and the effect on σ1R binding affinity was ultimately assessed. Next, the compounds designed in silico were synthesized, and their affinity and selectivity toward σ1and σ2receptors were tested. Finally, a representative series of best σ1R binders were assayed for cytotoxic activity on the SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma cell line. Specifically, the new 4-phenyloxazolidin-2-one derivatives 2b (i.e., (R)-2b and (S)-2b) emerged as potential leads for further development as σ1R agents, as they were found endowed with the highest σ1R affinity (Kiσ1 values in the range 0.95–9.3?nM), and showed minimal cytotoxic levels exhibited in the selected, cell-based test, in line with a σ1R agonist behavior.

The coordination chemistry of copper(II) complexes bearing pyridine-oxazoline ("Pyox") ligands has been studied, with an aim of investigating their catalytic ability. Interestingly, the stability of the coordinated ligands has been shown to be much less than previously assumed: hydrolysis of the ligands by fortuitous water gives rise to 2-pyridine carboxylate formation, which encapsulate the copper in a two-dimensional coordination polymer 3. The complexes [Cu(R-Pyox)(NCMe)2(ClO4)2] {R = benzyl (Bn) 2a, phenyl (Ph) 2b, isopropyl (iPr) 2c} have been prepared, of which the benzyl derivative has been analysed by CW EPR spectroscopy. The complex [Cu(Bn-Pyox)(NCMe)2(ClO4)2] and the afore-mentioned coordination polymer have been crystallographically characterised. The performance of complexes 2a-c in the asymmetric allylic oxidation of cyclohexene is described.

- Synthesis of enantiopure 1,2-azido and 1,2-amino alcohols via regio- and stereoselective ring-opening of enantiopure epoxides by sodium azide in hot water

A practical and convenient method for the efficient and regio- and stereoselective ring-opening of enantiopure monosubstituted epoxides by sodium azide under hydrolytic conditions is reported. The ring-opening of enantiopure styryl and pyridyl (S)-epoxides by N3- in hot water takes place preferentially at the internal position with complete inversion of configuration to produce (R)-2-azido ethanols with up to 99% enantio- and regioselectivity, while the (S)-adamantyl oxirane provides mainly the (S)-1-adamantyl-2-azido ethanol in excellent yield. In general, 1,2-amino ethanols were obtained in high yield and excellent enantiopurity by the reduction of the chiral 1,2-azido ethanols with PPh3 in water/THF, and then converted into the Boc or acetamide derivatives.

- Design, Synthesis, Fungicidal Activity, and Unexpected Docking Model of the First Chiral Boscalid Analogues Containing Oxazolines
-
Chirality greatly influences the biological and pharmacological properties of a pesticide and will contribute to unnecessary environmental loading and undesired ecological impact. No structure and activity relationship (SAR) of enantiopure succinate dehydrogenase inhibitors (SDHIs) was documented during the structure optimization of boscalids. On the basis of commercial SDHIs, oxazoline natural products, and versatile oxazoline ligands in organic synthesis, the first effort was devoted to explore the chiral SDHIs and the preliminary mechanism thereof. Fine-tuning furnished chiral nicotinamides 4ag as a more promising fungicidal candidate against Rhizoctonia solani, Botrytis cinerea, and Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, with EC50 values of 0.58, 0.42, and 2.10 mg/L, respectively. In vivo bioassay and molecular docking were investigated to explore the potential in practical application and plausible novelty in action mechanism, respectively. The unexpected molecular docking model showed the different chiral effects on the binding site with the amino acid residues. This chiral nicotinamide also featured easy synthesis and cost-efficacy. It will provide a powerful complement to the commercial SDHI fungicides with the introduction of chirality.

Highly efficient helix-sense-selective polymerization has been achieved using a bulky monomer and a less bulky chiral cocatalyst.

- Docking model of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor and nitromethylene neonicotinoid derivatives with a longer chiral substituent and their biological activities
-
In the present study, nitromethylene neonicotinoid derivatives possessing substituents that contain a sulfur atom, oxygen atom or aromatic ring at position 5 on the imidazolidine ring were synthesized to evaluate their affinity for the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) and their insecticidal activity against adult female houseflies. Comparing the receptor affinity of the alkylated derivative with the receptor affinity of compounds possessing either ether or thioether groups revealed that conversion of the carbon atom to a sulfur atom did not influence the receptor affinity, whereas conversion to an oxygen atom was disadvantageous for the receptor affinity. The receptor affinity of compounds possessing a benzyl or phenyl group was lower than that of the unsubstituted compound. Analysis of the three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship using comparative molecular field analysis demonstrated that steric hindrance of the receptor should exist around the C3 of an n-butyl group attached at position 5 on the imidazolidine ring. A docking study of the nAChR-ligand model suggested that the ligand-binding region expands as the length of the substituent increases by brushing against the amino acids that form the binding region. The insecticidal activity of the compounds was positively correlated with the receptor affinity by considering log P and the number of heteroatoms, including sulfur and oxygen atoms, in the substituents, suggesting that the insecticidal activity is influenced by the receptor affinity, hydrophobicity, and metabolic stability of the compounds.

- PRODUCTION METHOD FOR COMPOUND COMPRISING AMINO GROUP AND/OR HYDROXYL GROUP
-
Disclosed is a method for producing a compound having an amino group and/or a hydroxyl group from a substrate compound having an atomic group containing CO or CS by eliminating said atomic group. The substrate compound having an atomic group containing CO or CS (for example, an amide, a carbamate, or the like) is allowed to react with a compound expressed by formula (I) below, at a temperature of 120°C or lower, preferably in the presence of an ammonium salt, to eliminate said atomic group containing CO or CS. In formula (I) A may not be present, and in a case where A is present, A represents an alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms. ????????H2N-A-NH2?????(I)

- Engineering the active site of the amine transaminase from vibrio fluvialis for the asymmetric synthesis of aryl-alkyl amines and amino alcohols
-
Although the amine transaminase from Vibrio fluvialis has often been applied as a catalyst for the biocatalytic preparation of various chiral primary amines, it is not suitable for the transamination of α-hydroxy ketones and aryl-alkyl ketones bearing an alkyl substituent larger than a methyl group. We addressed this problem through a systematic mutagenesis study of active site residues to expand its substrate scope towards two bulky ketones. We identified two mutants (F85L/V153A and Y150F/V153A) showing 30-fold increased activity in the conversion of (S)-phenylbutylamine and (R)-phenylglycinol, respectively. Notably, they facilitated asymmetric synthesis of these amines with excellent enantiomeric purities of 98 ee. Excavating the active site: The constrained active site of the amine-transaminase from Vibrio fluvialis was engineered in order to achieve the conversion of bulky ketones. This led to the discovery of mutants with a 30-fold increase in activity which enabled the asymmetric synthesis of (S)-phenylbutylamine and (R)-phenylglycinol

- Chemoselective N-deacetylation under mild conditions
-
A mild and efficient chemoselective N-deacetylation using the Schwartz reagent at room temperature in rapid time is described. The mild and neutral conditions enable orthogonal N-deacetylation in the presence of some of the common protecting groups (viz. Boc, Fmoc, Cbz, Ts). The deprotection conditions did not induce any epimerization at the chiral amino centre.

- Green asymmetric synthesis: β-amino alcohol-catalyzed direct asymmetric aldol reactions in aqueous micelles
-
The ability of chiral β-amino alcohols to catalyze the direct asymmetric aldol reaction was evaluated for the first time in aqueous micellar media. A family of cheap and easily accessible β-amino alcohols, obtained in one step from naturally occurring amino acids, was shown to successfully catalyze the asymmetric aldol reaction between a series of ketones and aromatic aldehydes. These aldol reactions furnished the corresponding β-hydroxy ketones with up to 93% isolated yield and 89% ee. (S)-2-phenylglycinol and Triton X-100 proved to be the best organocatalyst and surfactant, respectively. Copyright

- Tunable ferrocenyl-phosphinite ligands for the ruthenium(II)-catalyzed asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of ketones
-
We report here new examples of enantiomerically pure monodendate phosphinite ligands containing both a ferrocene moiety and NH bridging moiety adjacent to the stereocenter, as well as their ruthenium(II) dichloro complexes. The phosphinites based on ferrocenyl moiety possessing stereogenic center have been screened as ligands for ruthenium(II)-catalyzed transfer hydrogenation of aromatic ketones to give corresponding secondary alcohols using iso-PrOH as the hydrogen source in the presence of NaOH. Up to 99% conversion with 97% ee was obtained in the transfer hydrogenation of acetophenone derivatives. Furthermore, the catalytic properties of these catalysts based on ferrocenyl-phosphinite backbone are also discussed briefly. The structures of these ligand and their corresponding complexes have been elucidated by a combination of multinuclear NMR spectroscopy, IR spectroscopy and elemental analysis.

-
A new and versatile class of unsymmetrical ferrocenyl-phosphinite ligands possessing a stereogenic center has been prepared from commercially available, inexpensive aminoacids such as, d-, l-phenylglycine and d-, l-phenylalanine, through a concise synthetic procedure. These ligands are not very sensitive to air and moisture, and display good enantioselectivities in the ruthenium-catalyzed asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of acetophenone derivatives, in which up to 91% ee was obtained. A comparison of the catalytic properties of amino alcohols and other analogues based on a ferrocenyl backbone is also discussed briefly. The structures of these ligands and their corresponding complexes have been elucidated by a combination of multinuclear NMR spectroscopy, IR spectroscopy, and elemental analysis.

Chiral β-amino alcohol-derived N-borane catalysts, namely noncyclic (2S)- and (2R)-2-amino-2-phenylethanol N-borane and their corresponding cyclic trimeric borazine derivatives, were synthesized and their catalytic activities in the asymmetric reduction of prochiral ketones were examined. Both the noncyclic and cyclic catalysts successfully catalyzed this reaction, giving the desired secondary alcohols in up to 82% isolated yield and with up to 80% enantioselectivity. The noncyclic catalyst was stable in aqueous and organic solvents, whereas the polycyclic borazine was stable only in nonprotic dry organic solvents. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart, New York.

- Thermodynamics of phenylacetamides synthesis: Linear free energy relationship with the pK of amine
-
The effective equilibrium constants K′C expressed through the total concentrations of the reagents for the synthesis of N-phenylacetyl-derivatives in aqueous medium from phenylacetic acid and various primary amino compounds have been determined with penicillin acylase as a catalyst. Broad specificity of penicillin acylase (EC 3.5.1.11) to amino components made possible to investigate the acylation of primary amines with different structures and physicochemical properties. Analysis of different components of the effective standard Gibbs energy change ΔGC o′ has revealed favorable thermodynamics for the synthesis of phenylacetamides from unionized substrates forms, however the ionization of reactants carboxy and amino groups in aqueous solutions pushes the equilibrium position to the hydrolysis especially in case of highly basic amines. A linear correlation between the standard Gibbs energy change for amide bond formation from the unionized reagents species and the basicity of amino group was observed: ΔGTo=-3.56pKamine+7.71(kJ/mol). The established linear free energy relationship (LFER) allows to predict the thermodynamic parameters for direct condensation of phenylacetic acid with any amine of known pK. Condensation of phenylacetic acid and amines with pK value within 1.5-8.5 was shown to be thermodynamically favorable in homogeneous aqueous solution. .

- High performance of N -alkoxycarbonyl-imines in triethylborane-mediated tin-free radical addition
-
Triethylborane-mediated tin-free radical alkylation of N-alkoxycarbonyl- imines, such as N-Boc-, N-Cbz-, and N-Teoc-imines, proceeded smoothly at a low temperature (-78 to -20 °C) to give the corresponding adducts in high yield. Although the formation of isocyanate was the major unfavorable reaction at room temperature, a one-pot conversion of N-Boc-imine to N-ethoxycarbonyl-adduct was possible through the corresponding isocyanate generated in situ. The higher performance of N-alkoxycarbonyl-imine than those of N-Ts- and N-PMP-imines is rationalized by a moderate electron-withdrawing character of an alkoxycarbonyl group that makes both addition of alkyl radical and trapping of the resulting aminyl radical by triethylborane efficiently fast.

- Asymmetric bio-amination of ketones in organic solvents
-
ω-Transaminases, employed as a lyophilised crude cell-free extract, were successfully employed in organic solvent for the asymmetric amination of ketones without the need for immobilisation. Best activity was found for methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) at a water activity of 0.6. The ω-transaminases (9 different enzymes) accepted efficiently 2-propylamine as amine donor when used in the solvent, which is not the case when they are used in aqueous solution. The bio-amination in organic solvent showed several advantages such as higher reaction rates (up to 17-fold), general acceptance of 2-propylamine as amine donor, simple work-up procedure (i.e., no basification and extraction required), easy recycling of the catalyst and lack of substrate inhibition. The biocatalysts maintained their excellent stereoselectivity in MTBE allowing the preparation of optically pure amines (ee >99%) with up to >99% conversion.

- Pyridine containing chiral macrocycles: Synthesis and their enantiomeric recognition for amino acid derivatives
-
Four novel C2-symmetric enantiomerically pure, chiral pyridine-18-crown-6 type macrocycles containing lipophilic chains at the stereogenic centers were prepared. The enantioselectivity of the new ligands toward the enantiomers of d-,l-amino acid methyl ester derivatives were also determined by 1H NMR titration method. These novel macrocycles have been showed to be strong complexing agents for d- and l-amino acid methyl ester hydrochloride salts (with Kass up to 13590 M-1 and G 0 up to 23.3 kJ mol-1 and selectivity ratio: 80:20) by 1H NMR titration methods. These macrocyclic hosts exhibited enantioselective binding towards the d-enantiomer of valine methyl ester hydrochloride with Kd/Kl up to 5.08 in CDCl3 with 0.25% CD3OD.

- Origins of stereoselectivity in optically pure phenylethaniminopyridine tris-chelates M(NN′)3n+ (M = Mn, Fe, Co, Ni and Zn)
-
One-pot reactions of 2-pyridinecarboxaldehyde, chiral phenylethanamines and Fe(ii) give single diastereomer fac diimine complexes at thermodynamic equilibrium so that no chiral separations are required (d.r. > 200:1). The origins of this stereoselectivity are partly steric and partly a result of the presence of three sets of inter-ligand parallel-offset π-stacking interactions. Mn(ii), Co(ii), Co(iii), Ni(ii) and Zn(ii) give similar fac structures, alongside the imidazole analogues for Fe(ii). While most of the complexes are paramagnetic, the series of molecular structures allows us to assess the influence of the π-stacking present, and there is a strong correlation between this and the M-N bond length. Fe(ii) is close to optimal. For the larger Zn(ii) ion, very weak π-stacking leads to poorer measured stereoselectivity (NMR) but this is improved with increased solvent polarity. The mechanism of stereoselection is further investigated via DFT calculations, chiroptical spectroscopy and the use of synthetic probes.

- Enantiopure cyclic O-substituted phenylphosphonothioic acid: Synthesis and chirality-recognition ability
-
As a new acidic selector (resolving agent), we synthesized an enantiopure O-alkyl phenylphosphonothioic acid with a seven-membered ring ((R)-5), which was designed on the basis of the results for the enantioseparation of 1-arylethylamine derivatives with acyclic O-ethyl phenylphosphonothioic acid (I). The phosphonothioic acid (R)-5 showed unique chirality-recognition ability in the enantioseparation of 1-naphthylethylamine derivatives, aliphatic secondary amines, and amino alcohols; the ability was complementary to that of I. The X-ray crystallographic analyses of the less- and more-soluble diastereomeric salts showed that hydrogen-bonding networks in the salt crystals are 21-column-type with a single exception which is cluster-type. In the cases of the 21-column-type crystals, stability of the crystals is firstly governed by hydrogen bonds to form a 21-column and secondly determined by intra-columnar T-shaped CH/π interaction(s), intra-columnar hydrogen bond(s), inter-columnar van der Waals interaction and/or inter-columnar T-shaped CH/π interaction(s). In contrast, the cluster-type salt crystal is stabilized by the assistance of inter-cluster T-shaped CH/π and van der Waals interactions. To realize still more numbers of intra- and inter-columnar and -cluster T-shaped CH/π interactions, the seven-membered ring of (R)-5 plays a considerable role. Copyright

- Enantioselective liquid-liquid extraction of (R,S)-phenylglycinol using a bisnaphthyl phosphoric acid derivative as chiral extractant
-
This study demonstrates that enantioseparation by liquid-liquid extraction can be done in a continuous flow mode on both laboratory and industrial scale and is a promising technique that could become a competitive alternative for crystallization or chromatographic approaches. We studied the enantioselective liquid-liquid extraction of phenylglycinol (Pgl) using a bisnaphthyl phosphoric acid extractant. Batch experiments were performed to estimate extraction model parameters. The system was described using an extraction mechanism with homogeneous organic phase complexation. The complexation constants were very large, in the order of 108-1010 L/mol in the temperature range 279T303 K. The developed model was then used to design a multistage countercurrent extraction process with Centrifugal Contactor Separator (CCS) equipment. This study demonstrates that high purity (70% ee) with a reasonable yield (36%) can be obtained for a moderately selective system (α=1.7) with only six extraction stages. The technology is potentially applicable to a wide range of racemates. Copyright

We report that 3,3′-diaryl-BINOL phosphoric acids are effective enantioselective extractants in chiral separation methods based on reactive liquid-liquid extraction. These new extractants are capable of separating racemic benzylic primary amine substrates. The effect of the nature of the substituents at the 3,3′-positions of the host were examined as well as the structure of the substrate, together with important parameters such as the organic solvent, the pH of the aqueous phase, and the host stoichiometry. Titration of the substrate with the host was monitored by FTIR, NMR, UV-Vis, and CD spectroscopy, which provided insight into the structure of the host-guest complex involved in extraction.
