The enantioselective resolution of several racemic derivatives of mandelic acid methyl ester catalyzed by lipases from Pseudomonas fluorescens (Amano AK) or Burkholderia cepacia (Amano PS-C II and Amano PS-IM) has been achieved. A gram-scale lipase-mediated kinetic resolution approach has been developed that allows the facile synthesis of the corresponding methyl (R)-(–)-mandelates with excellent enantiomeric excesses (up to >99 % ee) and reaction enantioselectivity (E values up to >200). The dopaminergic agent pemoline, used in the treatment of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and narcolepsy, was synthesized with 98 % ee in a straightforward route by condensing the prepared methyl (R)-(–)-mandelate with guanidine hydrochloride under basic conditions. The desired (R)-(+)-pemoline in optically pure form (>99 % ee) was obtained after two recrystallizations from ethanol. However, it was confirmed by chiral HPLC that optically active pemoline undergoes racemization in methanol solution.

The enhanced catalytic activity of difluoroboronate ureas proved to be essential as an acidity amplifier to promote metal-free O-H and S-H insertion reactions of α-aryldiazoacetates in high yield. This methodology was found to be generally applicable to a

By using lipase PS-30 as catalyst, the kinetic resolution of a series of racemic mandelate esters has been achieved via stereoselective acylation. The value of kinetic enantiomeric ratio (E) reached up to 197.5. Substituent effect is briefly discussed.
Synthesis of arylglycine and mandelic acid derivatives through carboxylations of α-amido and α-acetoxy stannanes with carbon dioxide
Mita, Tsuyoshi,Sugawara, Masumi,Hasegawa, Hiroyuki,Sato, Yoshihiro
experimental part, p. 2159 - 2168 (2012/06/01)
Incorporation reactions of carbon dioxide (CO2) with N-Boc-α-amido and α-acetoxy stannanes were developed using CsF as a mild tin activator. Monoprotected α-amido stannanes could be used, and the corresponding arylglycine derivatives were obtained in moderate-to-high yields under 1 MPa (10 atm) of CO2 pressure. α-Acetoxy stannanes also underwent carboxylation to afford mandelic acid derivatives in excellent yields under ambient CO2 pressure. Both transformations enabled the synthesis of α-tertiary and α-quaternary carboxylic acid derivatives. In addition, the chirality of (S)-N-tert-butylsulfonyl-α- amido stannanes was transferred with up to 90% inversion of configuration at 100 °C.

Anodic Oxidation of α-Substituted p-Xylenes. Electronic and Stereoelectronic Effects of α-Substituents in the Deprotonation of Alkylaromatic Radical Cations

The effect of α-substituents on the deprotonation rate from the benzylic position of alkylaromatic radical cations, k(CH2Z)/k(CH3), has been investigated by determining the intramolecular selectivity in the anodic oxidation in acetic acid of a α-Z-substituted p-xylenes 1 (Z = H, OMe, OH, Me, tert-butyl, OAc, COOMe, CN), 5,6-dimethylindan 4 (R = H), and 2,2,5,6-tetramethylindan 4 (R = Me).Some oxidations induced by CAN have also been carried out.It has been found that, with the exception of when Z = tert-butyl, the deprotonation rate of 1.+ is always faster from the CH2Z group than from the CH3 group, independently of the electron-donating or electron-withdrawing nature of Z.The electron-donating groups (OH, OMe, Me), however, exert a larger effect than the electron-withdrawing ones (COOMe, CN).The negligible deprotonation rate from CH2-t-Bu has been ascribed to stereoelectronic effects (the bulky tert-butyl group does not allow the C-H bonds to be collinear with the ?-system), the suggestion being nicely confirmed by the observation that the deprotonation rate from the position 1(3), relative to that from the 5(6)-methyl group, is almost identical in the radical cations of 4 (R = H and Me).The effect of the other α-substituents is mainly of electronic nature and has been rationalized on the basis of a variable transition-state structure for the deprotonation process.It is suggested that with +R groups most of the charge, in the transition state, has been transferred to the Cα-H bond where it can be stabilized by the α-substituent.With electron-withdrawing groups less charge transfer has taken place and the rate-enhancing effects of these groups is ascribed to their capability to significantly decrease the strength of the Cα-H bond.
