The large-scale applications of the kinetic resolution of urethane-protected α-amino acid N-carboxyanhydrides (UNCAs) and the desymmetrization of cyclic meso-anhydrides using modified cinchona alkaloids are described. These asymmetric reactions are effective organocatalytic methods for the synthesis of chiral a-amino acids 6 and chiral half-esters 2 on an industrial scale, because the organocatalyst recovery and product purification can be carried out by a simple extractive procedure obviating a chromatographic purification step. The modified cinchona alkaloid catalysts (DHQD) 2AQN and (DHQ)2AQN, as reported by Deng and co-workers, are not readily available and therefore not suitable for industrial-scale synthesis. Various O-alkylated quinidine and quinine derivatives were prepared and screened as catalysts for the kinetic resolution of phenylalanine UNCA with alcohol. The readily prepared O-propargylquinidine (OPQD) and O-propargylquinine (OPQ) were discovered to be highly enantioselective and practical catalysts. These new catalysts were applied to the synthesis of chiral propargylglycine 24 and the key intermediate of BAY10-8888/PLD-118, 26, on an industrial scale, by the kinetic resolution of UNCA 22 and the desymmetrization of cyclic meso-anhydride 25, respectively.

A series of novel β-amino acids has been synthesized and tested for their in vitro antifungal activity against Candida albicans. A steep SAR was observed. β-Amino acid 21 (BAY 10-8888/PLD-118) revealed the most favourable activity-tolerability profile and was selected for clinical studies as a novel antifungal for the oral treatment of yeast infections.
