A series of half-sandwich Ir(iii) complexes1-6bearing an amidato bidentate ligand were conveniently synthesized and applied to the catalytic Leuckart-Wallach reaction to produce racemic α-chiral primary amines. With 0.1 mol% of complex1, a broad range of ketones, including aryl ketones, dialkyl ketones, cyclic ketones, α-keto acids, α-keto esters and diketones, could be transformed to their corresponding primary amines with moderate to excellent yields (40%-95%). Asymmetric transformation was also attempted with chiral Ir complexes3-6, and 16% ee of the desired primary amine was obtained. Despite the unsatisfactory enantio-control achieved so far, the current exploration might stimulate more efforts towards the discovery of better chiral catalysts for this challenging but important transformation.

The transamination of α-keto acids with 2-phenylglycine is an effective methodology for directly synthesizing unprotected α-amino acids. However, the synthesis of 2-arylglycines by transamination is problematic because the corresponding products, 2-arylglycines, transaminate the starting arylglyoxylic acids. Herein, we demonstrate the use of commercially available l-2-(2-chlorophenyl)glycine as the nitrogen source in the transamination of arylglyoxylic acids, producing the corresponding 2-arylglycines without interference from the undesired self-transamination process.

Cp*Ir complexes bearing a 2-picolinamide moiety serve as effective catalysts for the direct reductive amination of ketonic compounds to give primary amines under transfer hydrogenation conditions using ammonium formate as both the nitrogen and hydrogen source. The clean and operationally simple transformation proceeds with a substrate to catalyst molar ratio (S/C) of up to 20,000 at relatively low temperature and exhibits excellent chemoselectivity toward primary amines.

Enantiopure d-phenylglycine and its derivatives are an important group of chiral amino acids with broad applications in thepharmaceutical industry. However, the existing synthetic methods for d-phenylglycine mainly rely on toxic cyanide chemistry and multistep processes. To provide green and safe alternatives, we envisaged cascade biocatalysis for the one-pot synthesis of d-phenylglycine from racemic mandelic acid, styrene, and biobased l-phenylalanine, respectively. Recombinant Escherichia coli (LZ110) was engineered to coexpress four enzymes to catalyze a 3-step reaction in one pot, transforming mandelic acid (210 mM) to give enantiopure d-phenylglycine in 29.5 g L?1 (195 mM) with 93% conversion. Using the same whole-cell catalyst, twelve other d-phenylglycine derivatives were also produced from the corresponding mandelic acid derivatives in high conversion (58–94%) and very high ee (93–99%). E. coli (LZ116) expressing seven enzymes was constructed for the transformation of styrene to enantiopure d-phenylglycine in 80% conversion via a one-pot 6-step cascade biotransformation. Twelve substituted d-phenylglycines were also produced from the corresponding styrene derivatives in high conversion (45–90%) and very high ee (92–99%) via the same cascade reactions. A nine-enzymeexpressing E. coli (LZ143) was engineered to transform biobased l-phenylalanine to enantiopure d-phenylglycine in 83% conversion via a one-pot 8-step transformation. Preparative biotransformations were also demonstrated. The high-yielding synthetic methods use cheap and green reagents (ammonia, glucose, and/or oxygen), and E. coli whole-cell catalysts, thus providing green and useful alternative methods for manufacturing d-phenylglycine.

Paragraph 0314; 0324, (2015/03/28)
The present invention relates to an iridium-based catalyst compound for hydrogenating reducible moieties, especially imines and iminiums, the catalyst compounds being defined by the formulas: where ring B is either itself polycyclic, or ring B together with R is polycyclic. The catalysts of the invention are particularly effective in reductive amination procedures 10 which involve the in situ generation of the imine or iminium under reductive hydrogenative conditions.
Large α-aminonitrilase activity screening of nitrilase superfamily members: Access to conversion and enantiospecificity by LC-MS
Bordier, Franck,Stam, Mark,Darii, Ekaterina,Tricot, Sabine,Fossey, Aurelie,Rohault, Johanna,Debard, Adrien,Mariage, Aline,Pellouin, Virginie,Petit, Jean-Louis,Perret, Alain,Vallenet, David,Salanoubat, Marcel,Weissenbach, Jean,Vergne-Vaxelaire, Carine,De Berardinis, Veronique,Zaparucha, Anne

A high-throughput screening for the identification of nitrilases demonstrating activity towards alpha-aminonitriles is reported. A LC-MS assay giving access to both conversion and enantiospecificity was developed. 588 candidate enzymes were screened as cell lysates against six alpha-aminonitriles in 96-well microplates. The candidate enzymes were selected following two criteria, their sequence identity with a set of known nitrilases or their phylogenetic position among the nitrilase superfamily. Five enzymes were identified and found to hydrolyse alpha-aminonitrile into the corresponding alpha-aminoacid. The substrate range was found to be very narrow as only two different alpha-aminonitriles, 2-aminovaleronitrile and 2-amino-2- phenylacetonitrile, were found to be substrates. The biocatalytic capabilities of three enzymes were further investigated and the best result was obtained with an enzyme from Burkholderia xenovorans catalysing the enantiospecific hydrolysis of 2-aminovaleronitrile into (S)-norvaline with excellent conversion and enantiomeric excess.

Cyclometalated iridium complexes are found to be versatile catalysts for the direct reductive amination (DRA) of carbonyls to give primary amines under transfer-hydrogenation conditions with ammonium formate as both the nitrogen and hydrogen source. These complexes are easy to synthesise and their ligands can be easily tuned. The activity and chemoselectivity of the catalyst towards primary amines is excellent, with a substrate to catalyst ratio (S/C) of 1000 being feasible. Both aromatic and aliphatic primary amines were obtained in high yields. Moreover, a first example of homogeneously catalysed transfer-hydrogenative DRA has been realised for β-keto ethers, leading to the corresponding β-amino ethers. In addition, non-natural α-amino acids could also be obtained in excellent yields with this method. Reduce the work! A broad range of ketones have been successfully aminated to afford primary amines under transfer-hydrogenation conditions by using ammonium formate as the amine source and 0.1 mol % of a cyclometalated IrIII catalyst (see scheme).

Efficient access to (1H)-isoindolin-1-one-3-carboxylic acid derivatives by orthopalladation and carbonylation of methyl arylglycinate substrates

experimental part, p. 4185 - 4191 (2011/07/08)
The orthopalladation of methyl arylglycinate derivatives has been studied. The reaction proceeds efficiently for different electron-withdrawing and electron-releasing substituents at the aryl ring. The carbonylation of the orthopalladated complexes affords, in a single step, substituted (1H)-isoindolin-1-one-3-carboxylates. These compounds constitute valuable synthetic intermediates and can be transformed diastereoselectively into octahydroisoindole-1-carboxylic acid derivatives, an important scaffold in the synthesis of many biologically active compounds.

Hydantoins and their derivatives constitute a group of pharmaceutical compounds with anticonvulsant and antiarrhythmic properties, and are also used against diabetes. N-3 and C-5 substituted imidazolidines are examples of such products. As such, we have developed a synthesis of 2,4-dione and 2-thioxo-4-one imidazolidinic derivatives by reaction of amino acids with C-phenylglycine, phenyl isocyanate and phenyl isothiocyanate. Four amino-derivatives IG(1-4) and eight imidazolidinic derivatives, IM(1-8), were obtained in yields of 70-74%. The mass, infrared, 1H and 13C-NMR spectra of representative products are discussed.
