Operationally Convenient and Scalable Asymmetric Synthesis of (2S)- and (2R)-α-(Methyl)cysteine Derivatives through Alkylation of Chiral Alanine Schiff Base NiII Complexes

This research demonstrates that the methylation of N-benzyl cysteine Schiff base derived NiII complexes leads to the formation of the corresponding dehydroalanine-containing products and cannot be used for preparation of the target α-(methyl)cysteine. In sharp contrast, the alternative strategy that involves thiomethylation of NiII complexes of alanine Schiff bases is a viable and practically attractive approach to afford the desired α-(methyl)cysteine containing derivatives. This work also reveals a significant, and rather unexpected, difference in the stereochemical performance of proline and 3,5-dihydro-4H-dinaphth[2,1-c:1′,2′-e]azepine derived chiral ligands, the former of which shows superior performance in terms of chemical yields and diastereoselectivity of the α-(methyl)cysteine products formed.

PROCESS FOR PRODUCING L-a-METHYLCYSTEINE DERIVATIVE

A process for easily producing an L-α-methylcysteine derivative or its salt, which is useful as a drug intermediate, from a cheap easily procurable raw material through an enzymatic D-stereoselective hydrolysis of racemic 5-halomethyl-5-methyl-hydantoin. L-α-methylcysteine derivative or its salt is produced by converting racemic 5-halomethyl-5-methylhydantoin to L-5-halomethyl-5-methylhydantoin through an enzymatic D-stereoselective hydrolysis, reacting the L-5-halomethyl-5-methylhydantoin with a sulfurizing agent into L-5-methyl-5-thiomethylhydantoin and hydrolyzing the L-5-methyl-5-thiomethylhydantoin.

Total synthesis of thiangazole

A method for total synthesis of thiangazole (1), a tris-thiazoline- oxazole metabolite, is described. The key intermediate 9, a linear tetrapeptide amide composed of three S-benzyl-2-methylcysteine residues and a O-benzyl-threonine amide, was synthesized in 4 steps using 2-chloro-1,3- dimethyl-imidazolidium hexafluorophosphate(CIP)mediated activation. The successive thiazoline/oxazole rings were constructed by TiCl4mediated cycledehydration followed by acid-catalyzed Robinson-Gabriel reaction without difficulty.
