Chiral 4-(N,N-dimethylamino)pyridine derivatives have been prepared through a chemoenzymatic synthesis where the enzymatic kinetic resolution of a family of 4-chloro-2-(1-hydroxyalkyl)pyridines is the key step for the formation of potentially important chiral catalysts. Pseudomonas cepacia lipase (PSL) showed excellent enantioselectivity in the acylation of the (R)-enantiomers (E > 200) using vinyl acetate as acylating agent and THF as solvent, obtaining products and substrates enantiomerically pure and with excellent yields.

When phenylpropanes were incubated with phenobarbital-pretreated rat liver 9,000xg supernatant (S-9), oxidative hydroxylation occurred to give phenylpropanol (racemic), (1R, 2S)- and (1R, 2R)-phenylpropanediols, (2S)-hydroxyphenylpropanone. Incubation of pyridylethane and propane with S-9 afforded α-pyridylethanol and propanol, but those were optically inactive. During the incubation of 1-phenylpropanone, an asymmetric redox reaction simultaneously occurred to give (2S)-phenylpropanol, (1R, 2S)- or (1R, 2R)-phenylpropanediols and (2R)-hydroxyphenylpropanone. Acetylpyridines were enantioselectively reduced to afford α-pyridylethanols in high optical yields (94-98%ee). The oxidation of pyridylalkane was significantly inhibited by cytochrome P-450 inhibitor (SKF-525A), but reduction of acetylpyridines was not inhibited. Thus, cytochrome P-450 was found to be responsible for the oxidation of pyridylalkane, but not for the reduction of the ketone.
