The β-amino acid BAY 10-8888/PLD-118 is currently being investigated in phase II clinical studies as a novel antifungal for the treatment of yeast infections. An efficient asymmetric synthesis of this compound is described. The key step employed a highly enantioselective, quinine-mediated alcoholysis of a mesoanhydride intermediate.

The process according to the invention for the preparation of enantiomerically pure cyclopentane-β-amino acids of the general formula (I) STR1 in which A and D have the meanings given in the description, is characterized in that meso-dicarboxylic acid anhydrides are first converted by asymmetric alcoholysis with allyl alcohols and in the presence of a chiral amine base present in enantiomerically pure form, in inert solvents, via the intermediate enantiomerically pure salt stage, into the enantiomerically pure dicarboxylic acid monoesters, in a further step these dicarboxylic acid monoesters are intermediately converted, in the sense of a Curtius rearrangement by reaction with azides, into the corresponding acid azides, and are subsequently converted into the corresponding rearranged isocyanates and the isocyanates are then reacted with allyl alcohols to give the compounds of the general formula (VII), and finally the cyclopentane-β-amino acids of the general formula (I) are obtained by splitting off the urethane and ester function.
