Chiral Pyridoxal-Catalyzed Asymmetric Biomimetic Transamination of α-Keto Acids
A series of chiral pyridoxals 8 and 9 have been developed from commercially available pyridoxine and (S)-α,α-diarylprolinols. The pyridoxals exhibited good catalytic activity in an asymmetric transamination of α-keto acids with 2,2-diphenylglycine (7f) as the amine source to give various α-amino acids in 29-85% yields with 53-80% ee's. The current asymmetric transamination has successfully mimicked a complete biological transamination process characterized by two half-transaminations, a small chiral pyridoxal molecule acting as the catalyst, and enantioselective control.
Nonenzymatic acylative kinetic resolution of Baylis-Hillman adducts
(Chemical Equation Presented) The first efficient nonenzymatic acylative kinetic resolution of Baylis-Hillman adducts is reported. Chiral pyridine catalyst 1a and an optimized analogue 1e are capable of promoting the synthetically useful enantioselective
