Lipase-catalyzed practical synthesis of (R)-1-benzyl-3-hydroxy-2,5-pyrrolidinedione and its related compounds

A practical method for preparing (R)-1-benzyl-3-hydroxy-2,5-pyrrolidinedione (1) was investigated by the use of the enzymatic hydrolysis of its acetate (2a). Among several hydrolases examined here, lipase PS from Pseudomonas cepacia gave the best result: In a mixed solvent (1:1 v/v) of dioxane and a phosphate buffer (pH 7), the hydrolysis took place smoothly with a high enantioselectivity (E > 3000). Several 3-alkanoyl derivatives of 1 were subjected to the lipase PS-catalyzed hydrolysis. The chain length of the alkanoyl does not noticeably influence the reaction rate or the enantioselectivity. In contrast, the hydrolysis of the 1-benzoyl derivative proceeded slowly with a low enantioselectivity (E = 19). The syntheses of optically active 3-hydroxypyrrolidines and 3-hydroxypiperidines were also achieved under the reaction conditions similar to the lipase PS-catalyzed hydrolysis of 2a.

Enantioenriched N-(2-Chloroalkyl)-3-acetoxypiperidines as Potential Cholinotoxic Agents. Synthesis and Preliminary Evidence for Spirocyclic Aziridinium Formation.

The syntheses of six enantioenriched analogs representing cyclic forms of acetylcholine are reported. (S)- and (R)-N-(2-chloroethyl)-3-acetoxypiperidine and (R,R)-, (R,S)-, (S,R)-, and (S,S)-N-(2-chloropropyl)-3-acetoxypiperidine have been synthesized from (R)- or (S)-3-hydroxypiperidine in five steps. (R)- and (S)-3-hydroxypiperidine were accessed via parallel stereospecific routes from d- and l-glutamic acid, and through fractional recrystallization of diastereomeric tartranilic acid salts. (S)-N-(2-Chloroethyl)-3-acetoxypiperidine was reacted with silver perchlorate to form a spirocyclic aziridinium analog of acetylcholine as evidenced by a characteristic 1H NMR shift for the aziridinium methylene groups.
