Unusual amino acids are of crucial importance to the synthesis of bioactive peptides and new chemical entities. Innovative methodology is always needed for the preparation of enantiomerically pure amino acids that does not rely on tedious resolution procedures. The proline-derived ligands (R)- and (S)-N-(2-benzoyl-4-chlorophenyl)-1-(3,4-dichlorobenzyl)pyrrolidine-2-carboxamide are outstanding, versatile, and recyclable reagents for the synthesis of tailor-made α- and β-amino acids. Here we report initial studies of the scale-up synthesis of the HCl salt of these reagents on the 100 g scale. The results demonstrate an increased efficiency and environmental friendliness of the bench-scale procedure and provides a firm foundation for the manufacture on multikilogram and larger scales.

The first chemical method for resolution of N,C-unprotected β-amino acids was developed through enantioselective formation and disassembly of nickel(II) complexes under operationally convenient conditions. The specially designed chiral ligands are inexpensive and can be quantitatively recycled along with isolation of the target β-substituted-β-amino acids in good yields and excellent enantioselectivity. The method features a broad synthetic generality including β-aryl, β-heteroaryl, and β-alkyl-derived β-amino acids. The procedure is easily scaled up, and was used for the synthetically and economically advanced preparation of the anti-diabetic drug sitagliptin. The nick of time: A chemical method for resolution of unprotected β-amino acids rac-1 was developed through enantioselective formation and disassembly of nickel(II) complexes to deliver the target β-substituted β-amino acids in good yields and excellent enantioselectivity. The chiral ligands are inexpensive and can be quantitatively recycled. The procedure was used for the preparation of anti-diabetic drug sitagliptin.
