(18-Crown-6)-2,3,11,12-tetracarboxylic acid is an excellent chiral NMR solvating agent for cyclic β-amino acids with cyclopentane, cyclohexane, cycloheptane, cyclopentene, cyclohexene, bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane, and bicyclo[2.2.1]heptene rings. The crown ether was added to the neutral β-amino acids in methanol-d4. A neutralization reaction between the crown ether and β-amino acid forms the ammonium ion needed for favorable association. Enantiomeric discrimination of the two hydrogen atoms α to the amine and carboxylic acid moieties of the β-amino acid was observed with every substrate studied. Trends in the order of the enantiomeric discrimination of certain hydrogen atoms for substrates of similar structures correlate with the absolute configuration.

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).
An alkaloid-mediated desymmetrization of meso-anhydrides via a nucleophilic ring opening with benzyl alcohol and its application in the synthesis of highly enantiomerically enriched β-amino acids

The cinchona alkaloid-mediated opening of prochiral cyclic anhydrides in the presence of benzyl alcohol leading to optically active hemiesters is described. Structurally diverse anhydrides are converted into their corresponding benzyl monoesters with either enantiomer being obtained with up to 99 percent e.e. by using quinine or quinidine as the directing additive. A simple aqueous work-up protocol permits the isolation of the products in analytically pure form and the recovery of the alkaloids almost quantitatively. These hemiesters can be converted to N-protected β-amino esters by means of Curtius degradation of the corresponding acyl azides. Subsequent cleavage of both protecting groups by a single reaction step leads to the free β-amino acids in excellent yields. The efficiency of this procedure is demonstrated by the short asymmetric synthesis of the fungicide cis-pentacin delivering the amino acid with >99.7 percent enantiomeric excess.
