An efficient enzymatic two-step cascade procedure has been devised for rapid access to diverse amino acids from N-hydroxymethyl-β-lactams; representative amino acids include the antifungal agent cispentacin, intermediates for the taxol side-chain, and assorted cathepsin inhibitors. When CAL-B-catalysed hydrolyses of racemic N-hydroxymethyl-β-lactams were performed with H2O (0.5 equiv.) in iPr2O at 60 °C, relatively quick (vs. non-activated counterparts) and enantioselective (E > 200) ring cleavage reactions took place. As the ring-opened amino acids formed, the hydroxymethyl group, as a traceless activating group, underwent spontaneous in situ degradation. Consequently, the desired β-amino acid and unreacted N-hydroxymethyl-β-lactam enantiomers (ee > 95 %) were formed. The formation of polymers, induced by liberation of formaldehyde, was successfully restricted by the addition of benzylamine as a capture agent, to the enzymatic reactions. An efficient enzymatic two-step cascade procedure was devised for CAL-B-catalysed hydrolysis of racemic N-hydroxymethyl-β-lactams. Conditions in which the hydroxymethyl group serves as a traceless activating group (E > 200), giving desired β-amino acid along with unreacted starting lactam enantiomers (ee > 95 %) were identified; polymerization was controlled by addition benzylamine addition.

A series of new chiral phosphine-aminophosphine ligands [(R)-HW-Phos] has been prepared from (R)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1-naphthylamine through a two-step procedure, and successfully applied in the rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of various functionalized olefins such as α-enol ester phosphonates, α-enamido phosphonates, (Z)-β-(acylamino)acrylates and so on. Excellent enantioselectivities have been achieved in the hydrogenation of most substrates tested, demonstrating the high potential of these newly developed phosphine-aminophosphine ligands in asymmetric catalysis. The present research also discloses that these newly developed phosphine-aminophosphine ligands are more efficient than that derived from (S)-1-phenylethylamine, suggesting that the increased rigidity conferred by a cyclohexyl fragment in these phosphine-aminophosphine ligands has a positive effect in the asymmetric induction.
