Enantioselectivity of Pseudomonas cepacia lipase for the acetylation of 2-hydroxy carboxylic acid esters+

, p. 625 - 640 (2007/10/03)
Structurally different ethyl or methyl 2-hydroxy carboxylates were resolved by Pseudomonas cepacia lipase-catalysed acetylations with vinyl acetate in diethylether. One type of the alcoholic substrates (2-hydroxy-2-arylacetates and 2-hydroxy-3-arylpropinates) contained a HO-group at the stereocentre. These compounds were resolved with high enantioselectivity (ee 91 → 99) at ca. 50% conversion. The other alcoholic substrates ((threo-2-hydroxy-3-methylbutyrate and threo- or erythro-2-hydroxy-3-aryl-3-arylthio(or aryloxy)propionates) with two stereocentres generally resulted in enantiopure products and the reactions stopped at 50 % conversion.

, (2008/06/13)
There is disclosed a process for preparing 1,5-benzothiazepine derivatives of the formula: STR1 wherein R1 is a lower alkyl group, or a salt thereof which comprises subjecting a propionate derivatives of the formula: STR2 wherein R2 is an ester residue and R1 is the same as defined above, to intramolecular cyclization in the presence of a sulfonic acid compound of the formula: wherein R3 is a lower alkyl group or a substituted or unsubstituted phenyl group, in a non-halogenated organic solvent and, if desired, converting the product to a salt thereof.
