, p. 2290 - 2304 (2017/05/01)
The enantioselective resolution of several racemic derivatives of mandelic acid methyl ester catalyzed by lipases from Pseudomonas fluorescens (Amano AK) or Burkholderia cepacia (Amano PS-C II and Amano PS-IM) has been achieved. A gram-scale lipase-mediated kinetic resolution approach has been developed that allows the facile synthesis of the corresponding methyl (R)-(–)-mandelates with excellent enantiomeric excesses (up to >99 % ee) and reaction enantioselectivity (E values up to >200). The dopaminergic agent pemoline, used in the treatment of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and narcolepsy, was synthesized with 98 % ee in a straightforward route by condensing the prepared methyl (R)-(–)-mandelate with guanidine hydrochloride under basic conditions. The desired (R)-(+)-pemoline in optically pure form (>99 % ee) was obtained after two recrystallizations from ethanol. However, it was confirmed by chiral HPLC that optically active pemoline undergoes racemization in methanol solution.

By using lipase PS-30 as catalyst, the kinetic resolution of a series of racemic mandelate esters has been achieved via stereoselective acylation. The value of kinetic enantiomeric ratio (E) reached up to 197.5. Substituent effect is briefly discussed.

A chiral cobalt-catalyzed enantioselective aerobic oxidative kinetic resolution of (±)-α-hydroxy esters, using molecular oxygen as a sole oxidant, is reported and a maximum of selectivity factor (s) 31.9 was achieved with >99% enantiomeric excess for unreacted α-hydroxy esters.
Matching and mismatching effects of hybrid chiral biaxial bisphosphine ligands in enantioselective hydrogenation of ketoesters
Sun, Xianfeng,Li, Wei,Zhou, Le,Zhang, Xumu
supporting information; scheme or table, p. 7302 - 7305 (2010/03/24)
A study was conducted to demonstrate matching and mismatching of hybrid chiral biaxial bisphosphine ligands in enantioselective hydrogenation of ketoesters. A novel class of conformationally rigid Cn-TunePhos was developed by introducing a bridge with variable length to link the chiral atropisometic biaryl groups. The conformationally rigid Cn-TunePhos was introduce to investigate the synthesis and use of new chiral biophosphine ligands in asymmetric catalysis. A strategy was introduced for the synthesis of a pair of diastereoisomeric forms of ligands 1, 2, and an analogous ligand 3 to assess the effects of stereochemical matching and mismatching interactions upon the structural and catalytic properties of the corresponding ruthenium complexes. Their applications in highly efficient Ru-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation for the enantioselective synthesis of α- and β-hydroxy acid derivatives were also explored.

Enantioselective homoallyl-cyclopropanation of dibenzylideneacetone by modified allylindium halide reagents-rapid access to enantioenriched 1-styryl-norcarene
Lloyd-Jones, Guy C.,Wall, Philip D.,Slaughter, Jennifer L.,Parker, Alexandra J.,Laffan, David P.
, p. 11402 - 11412 (2007/10/03)
Dibenzylideneacetone (8) reacts with in situ-generated allylindium halide reagents to yield the product of a homoallyl-cyclopropanation reaction: 2-(3″-butenyl)-1,1-bis[(E)-2′-phenylethenyl]cyclopropane (9), which proceeds via step-wise cleavage of the C{double bond, long}O bond and delivery of two allyl fragments from the reagent. A range of enantiomerically enriched ligands have been tested as stoichiometric asymmetric modifiers for this process. Enantiopure compounds such as cinchona alkaloids, ephedra, aminoalcohols and tartaric acid derivatives, which have proven of utility as asymmetric modifiers for the indium-mediated allylation of aldehydes and ketones, were very inefficient in the process 8→9. However, mandelic acid derivatives, in particular mandelates, were found to be of significant potential. The absolute stereochemistry of the cyclopropane 9 has been determined by degradation to 1,1-dicarboxymethyl-2-butylcyclopropane, converging with an independent enantioselective synthesis starting from hexene. Under optimised conditions, viz. using allylindium iodide reagents and working-up with aqueous Na2SO3 to avoid iodine-mediated polymerisation, (S)-9 can be generated in 86% yield and with (S)-methyl mandelate as modifier useful enantiopurity (94/6 er) was observed. The cyclopropane product ((S)-9) undergoes RCM using standard conditions to afford a norcarene unit ((1S,6S)-1-(E)-2′-(phenylethenyl)-bicyclo[4.1.0]hept-2-ene) without loss of enantiopurity.
Vanadium-catalyzed asymmetric oxidation of α-hydroxy esters using molecular oxygen as stoichiometric oxidant
Radosevich, Alexander T.,Musich, Christine,Toste, F. Dean
, p. 1090 - 1091 (2007/10/03)
A vanadium-catalyzed method for the oxidative kinetic resolution of α-hydroxyesters, using oxygen as the terminal oxidant, is described. The catalyst is generated in situ from vanadium(V) tri-iso-propoxyoxide in combination with a tridentate ligand derived from 3,5-di-tert-butylsalicylaldehyde and (S)-tert-leucinol. The reaction allows for the enantioselective synthesis of both aromatic and aliphatic secondary alcohols, including those containing olefins and alkynes. Copyright
Microbial deracemization of α-substituted carboxylic acids: Substrate specificity and mechanistic investigation
Kato, Dai-Ichiro,Mitsuda, Satoshi,Ohta, Hiromichi
, p. 7234 - 7242 (2007/10/03)
A new enzymatic method for the preparation of optically active α-substituted carboxylic acids is reported. This technique is called deracemization reaction, which provides us with a route to obtain the enantiomerically pure compounds, theoretically in 100% yield starting from the racemic mixture. This means that the synthesis of a racemate is almost equal to the synthesis of the optically active compound, and this concept is entirely different from the commonly accepted one in the asymmetric synthesis. Using the growing cell system of Nocardia diaphanozonaria JCM3208, racemates of 2-aryl- and 2-aryloxypropanoic acid are deracemized smoothly and (R)-form-enriched products are recovered in high chemical yield (>50%). In addition, using optically active starting compounds and deuterated derivatives as well as inhibitors, we have disclosed the fact that a new type of enzyme takes part in this biotransformation, and that the reaction proceeds probably via the same mechanism as that in rat liver.

Cationic ruthenium-BINAP complexes 5, 7, and 10 of the formula Y, where X = Cl, Br, I; Y = Cl, Br, I, BF4, B(C6H5)4; arene = benzene, p-cymene, ethyl benzoate, and their enantiomers have been prepared by the reaction of arene-ruthenium halide complexes 4, 6, and 9 with (S)-BINAP or (R)-BINAP.Structures of the complexes were established by spectroscopy, conductivity, and a single-crystal X-ray analysis (5d: orthorhombic, P21212; a=20.141(2) Angstroem, b=18.504(1) Angstroem, c=12.241(1) Angstroem, V=4562.0(7) Angstroem3, Z=4, R=0.078 for unique 4177 reflections).BINAP derivatives with various substituents at the para and meta positions of four phenyl rings on phosphorus atoms and their cationic Ru(II) complexes have also been synthesized.These BINAP-Ru(II) complexes have been used as catalysts for the asymmetric hydrogenation of various unsaturated organic compounds such as α- and β-keto esters, allylic alcohols, and α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids in excellent diastereo- and/or enantioselectivities.Catalytic activities and stereoselectivities depend highly on reaction conditions such as solvent, temperature, and additives.Variation of halogen ligands bound to ruthenium atom and substituents on four phenyl rings of BINAP also have exerted remarkable effects on the efficiency of the catalysis.Asymmetric hydrogenation of methyl (+/-)-2-(benzamidomethyl)-3-oxobutanoate catalyzed by the species derived from 9c and 3,5-(t-Bu)2-BINAP afforded the corresponding syn-(2S,3R)-17 in 98percent de and 99percent ee.
