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.

A series of (R)- and (S)-N-Cbz-α-aminoimides(1 and 2) were synthesized and were investigated their anticonvulsant activities in the MES and PTZ test, and determined the neurotoxicities. The most active compound among them was (S)-N-Cbz-α-amino-N-methyl glutarimide(1d) and the ED50 value in the MES test was 36.1 mg/kg and the ED50 value in the PTZ test was 12.5 mg/kg. In the rotorod test for neurotoxicity, the TD50 value was 62.5 mg/kg.

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.
