Herein, we describe two versatile and high yielding enzymatic approaches for the conversion of semi-protected amino acid and peptidyl C-terminal α-carboxylic acids into their corresponding amides. In the first approach, the lipase Candida antarctica lipase-B (Cal-B), and in the second approach, the protease Subtilisin A, are used, respectively. We found that by using the ammonium salt of the α-carboxylic acid instead of separate ammonia sources, the enzymatic amidation reactions proceeded much faster without side reactions and gave near to quantitative yields of products.
Regioselective amidation of aspartic and glutamic acid
Lee,Kim,Ko,Kim
, p. 935 - 936 (2007/10/02)
The synthesis of N-protected aspartic 1-amide and glutamic 1-amide from aspartic and glutamic acids via regioselective amidation of intermediate 5-oxazolidinone derivatives with aqueous ammonia or amine is described.
