Rhodium-catalyzed synthesis of α-amido- and α-carboxylic- β-ketoesters

The rhodium-catalyzed N-H and O-H insertion of amides and carboxylic acids with α-diazo-β-ketoesters to give different α-amido- and α-carboxylic-β-ketoesters is presented. Investigations were carried out to establish an efficient N-H and O-H insertion reaction using a range of different amides and carboxylic acids for the synthesis of intermediates e.g. for receptor antagonists. The reactions were performed under mild conditions with 1 mol% of catalyst and the products were formed in good yields. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart.

Highly Enantioselective Reduction of Ethyl 2-Acyloxy-3-oxobutanoate with Immobilized Baker's Yeast

Reduction of ethyl 2-acetoxy-3-oxobutanoate (4a) with immobilized baker's yeast in calcium alginate gel gave a 18:19:63 mixture of ethyl (2R,3S)- and (2S,3S)-2-acetoxy-3-hydroxybutanoates and ethyl (2S,3S)-2,3-dihydroxybutanoate each with >95percent e.e. in 58percent yield.A similar treatment of a 2-benzoyloxy analog of 4a afforded a 6:94 mixture of ethyl (2R,3S)- and (2S,3S)-2-benzoyloxybutanoates (>95percent e.e.) in 70percent yield.Their absolute configurations were determined by comparison with authentic (2R,3S)- and (2S,3S)-2,3-dihydroxybutanoic acids.Effects of the immobilization and the pH of culture solution on the product ratio are also discussed.
