A new, solvent-free, vapour-assisted method, developed for the synthesis of carbocyclic cis β-amino acid enantiomers through the Candida antarctica lipase B-catalysed enantioselective (E >200) hydrolysis of β-lactams with 0.5 equiv of H2O at 70 °C, has been demonstrated to be applicable on a preparative scale to produce (±)-2 (the starting racemate for cispentacin), (±)-3 (the starting racemate for 4-tert-butylcispentacin, a new cispentacin analogue) and (±)-7 (the starting racemate for 1,4-ethylene-bridged cispentacin).

1,4-Ethyl- and 1,4-ethylene-bridged cispentacin enantiomers 1a, 1c and 2a, 2c were prepared through the lipase-catalyzed enantioselective ring opening of racemic exo-3-azatricyclo[4.2.1.02.5]nonan-4-one, (±)-1, and exo-3-azatricyclo[4.2.1.02.5]non-7-en-4-one, (±)-2. High enantioselectivity (E >200) was observed when the Lipolase-catalyzed reactions were performed with 1equiv of H2O in diisopropyl ether at 70°C. The resolved β-amino acids 1a and 2a (yield 46%) and β-lactams 1b and 2b (yield≥40%) could be easily separated. The ring opening of lactam enantiomers with 18% HCl afforded the corresponding β-amino acid hydrochloride enantiomers (ee ≥98%).
