A synthetic method that enables the Hantzsch ester-mediated Minisci-type C2-alkylation of quinolines, isoquinolines and pyridines by N-(acyloxy)phthalimide esters (NHPI) under blue LED (light emitting diode) light (456 nm) is described. Achieved under mild reaction conditions at room temperature, the metal-free synthetic protocol was shown to be applicable to primary, secondary and tertiary NHPIs to give the alkylated N-heterocyclic products in yields of 21–99%. On introducing a chiral phosphoric acid, an asymmetric version of the reaction was also realised and provided product enantiomeric excess (ee) values of 53–99%. The reaction mechanism was delineated to involve excitation of an electron-donor acceptor (EDA) complex, formed from weak electrostatic interactions between the Hantzsch ester and NHPI, which generates the posited radical species of the redox active ester that undergoes addition to the N-heterocycle.

Ene-reductases (ERs) are flavin dependent enzymes that catalyze the asymmetric reduction of activated carbon-carbon double bonds. In particular, α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds (e.g. enals and enones) as well as nitroalkenes are rapidly reduced. Conversely, α,β-unsaturated esters are poorly accepted substrates whereas free carboxylic acids are not converted at all. The only exceptions are α,β-unsaturated diacids, diesters as well as esters bearing an electron-withdrawing group in α- or β-position. Here, we present an alternative approach that has a general applicability for directly obtaining diverse chiral α-substituted carboxylic acids. This approach combines two enzyme classes, namely ERs and aldehyde dehydrogenases (Ald-DHs), in a concurrent reductive-oxidative biocatalytic cascade. This strategy has several advantages as the starting material is an α-substituted α,β-unsaturated aldehyde, a class of compounds extremely reactive for the reduction of the alkene moiety. Furthermore no external hydride source from a sacrificial substrate (e.g. glucose, formate) is required since the hydride for the first reductive step is liberated in the second oxidative step. Such a process is defined as a hydrogen-borrowing cascade. This methodology has wide applicability as it was successfully applied to the synthesis of chiral substituted hydrocinnamic acids, aliphatic acids, heterocycles and even acetylated amino acids with elevated yield, chemo- and stereo-selectivity. A systematic methodology for optimizing the hydrogen-borrowing two-enzyme synthesis of α-chiral substituted carboxylic acids was developed. This systematic methodology has general applicability for the development of diverse hydrogen-borrowing processes that possess the highest atom efficiency and the lowest environmental impact.

An efficient and enantioselective hydrogenation of N-acetylamino phenyl acrylic acids was successfully developed by using ruthenium catalyst. This methodology is important in the field of pharmaceuticals and provides a new process for the preparation of unnatural amino acids and tamsulosin chiral intermediate.

(Chemical Equation Presented) A practical method has been developed for reduction of C-N double bond in oximes, imines, and hydrazones with sodium borohydride catalyzed by Raney Ni. The reactions were carried out in basic aqueous solution, and the desired products were obtained in moderate yields after a simple procedure. This method can be applied to synthesize simpler aliphatic or aromatic amines and its analogs. Copyright Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
Efficient kinetic resolution of amino acids catalyzed by lipase AS 'Amano' via cleavage of an amide bond
Wang, Bo,Liu, Yanfeng,Zhang, Dela,Feng, Yuhong,Li, Jiacheng
, p. 1338 - 1342,5 (2020/09/16)
Herein the efficient kinetic resolution of non-natural alpha-amino acids catalyzed by lipase AS 'Amano' via cleaving the amide bond is reported. The starting materials were the corresponding amino acid amides and the amino acids were generated with ees of up to 99% with E values of >600. These results indicated that the lipase AS 'Amano' could be a powerful amide hydrolase for the kinetic resolution of amino acid starting from the corresponding amino acid amides.
Chemoenzymatic synthesis of a mixed phosphine-phosphine oxide catalyst and its application to asymmetric allylation of aldehydes and hydrogenation of alkenes

experimental part, p. 1388 - 1395 (2012/03/27)
The chemoenzymatic synthesis of a Lewis basic phosphine-phosphine oxide organocatalyst from a cis-dihydrodiol metabolite of bromobenzene proceeds via a palladium-catalysed carbon-phosphorus bond coupling and a novel room temperature Arbuzov [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement of an allylic diphenylphosphinite. Allylation of aromatic aldehydes were catalysed by the Lewis basic organocatalyst giving homoallylic alcohols in up to 57% ee. This compound also functioned as a ligand for rhodium-catalysed asymmetric hydrogenation of acetamidoacrylate giving reduction products with ee values of up to 84%.
Synthesis and application of peripherally alkyl-functionalized dendritic pyrphos ligands: Homogeneous-supported catalysts for enantioselective hydrogenation
Yi, Bing,He, Hua-Ping,Fan, Qing-Hua
experimental part, p. 82 - 85 (2010/04/25)
A new series of dendritic ligands with a chiral diphosphine located at the focal point have been synthesized through coupling of (R,R)-3,4-bis(biphenylphosphino)pyrrolidine (pyrphos) with peripherally alkyl-functionalized benzoic acid dendrons. These ligands were employed in the Rh-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of prochiral dehydroamino acids, exhibiting excellent catalytic activities and enantioselectivities. The second-generation dendritic catalyst could be recovered by simple liquid-liquid biphasic separation and reused four times without serious loss of its activity and selectivity.

Stella, Selvaraj,Chadha, Anju
experimental part, p. 457 - 460 (2010/06/21)
Whole cells of Candida parapsilosis ATCC 7330 were used for the resolution of N-acetyl amino acid esters. Excellent enantioselectivities (E = 40 to >500) were achieved for the resolution of N-protected protein and non-protein amino acid esters giving good yields (28-50%) and high enantiomeric excesses (up to >99%) for both enantiomers.
