A simple formamide catalyst facilitates the efficient transformation of alcohols into alkyl chlorides with benzoyl chloride as the sole reagent. These nucleophilic substitutions proceed through iminium-activated alcohols as intermediates. The novel method, which can be even performed under solvent-free conditions, is distinguished by an excellent functional group tolerance, scalability (>100 g) and waste-balance (E-factor down to 2). Chiral substrates are converted with excellent levels of stereochemical inversion (99 %→≥95 % ee). In a practical one-pot procedure, the primary formed chlorides can be further transformed into amines, azides, ethers, sulfides, and nitriles. The value of the method was demonstrated in straightforward syntheses of the drugs rac-Clopidogrel and S-Fendiline.

Page/Page column 51; 172; 177, (2017/01/02)
The present invention relates to a method of converting an alcohol into a corresponding halide. This method comprises reacting the alcohol with an optionally substituted aromatic carboxylic acid halide in presence of an N-substituted formamide to replace a hydroxyl group of the alcohol by a halogen atom. The present invention also relates to a method of converting an alcohol into a corresponding substitution product. The second method comprises: (a) performing the method of the invention of converting an alcohol into the corresponding halide; and (b) reacting the corresponding halide with a nucleophile to convert the halide into the nucleophilic substitution product.

Reactions between either L-serine methyl ester hydrochloride (1), or the cbz derivative, methyl (S)-(+)-2-(benzyloxycarbonylamino)-3-hydroxypropanoate (2), and pyrazinoyl chloride (3), have been studied. Methyl (S)-(+)-2- benzyloxycarbonylamino-3-[(pyrazinecarbonyl)oxy]propionate (4), methyl (S)-(+)-3-hydroxy-2-[(pyrazine-2-carbonyl) aminolpropionoate (7), methyl 2-[(pyrazinecarbonyl)amino]acrylate (8) were obtained. Additional products, methyl (S)-(+)-2-benzyloxycarbonylamino-3-formyloxypropionoate (5) and methyl (R)-(+)-2-benzyloxycarbonylamino-3-chloropropionoate (6), were isolated from reaction of 2 with 3, in the presence of DMF remaining from the preparation of 3, from pyrazinecarboxylic acid. The coupling of pyrazinecarboxylic acid with 1, in the presence of DCC was prevented by the formation of the unreactive adduct between DCC and pyrazinoic acid. The compounds were tested against M. tuberculosis: compounds (8) and (6) exhibited a MIC (μg/ml) value of 50 and 100, respectively, compared to the MIC value of 100 for the first line TB drug, pyrazinamide. The confirmation of the structure of (8) was obtained via X-ray crystallography.

Two members of the α-family of PLP-dependent enzymes, L-aspartate aminotransferase and D-amino acid aminotransferase, have been shown to catalyse β-substitution of L- and D-β-chloroalanine respectively with β-mercaptoethanol, reactions typical of the β-family of PLP-dependent enzymes. The reaction catalysed by L-aspartate aminotransferase has been shown to occur with retention of stereochemistry, a typical outcome for reactions catalysed by β-family enzymes. There are also indications that the reaction catalysed by D-amino acid aminotransferase may involve retention of stereochemistry. Both enzymes have been shown to catalyse exchange at C-3 when the appropriate enantiomer of β-chloroalanine is the substrate. The Royal Society of Chemistry 2005.

(formula presented) Efficient conversion of alcohols and β-amino alcohols to the corresponding chlorides (and bromides) can be carried out at room temperature in methylene chloride, using 2,4,6-trichloro[1,3,5]triazine and N,N-dimethyl formamide. This procedure can also be applied to optically active carbinols.
Versatile Synthesis of Stereospecifically Labelled D-Amino Acids via Labelled Aziridines - Preparation of (2R,3S)-- and (2R,3R)--Serine; (2S,2'S,3S,3'S)-- and (2S,2'S,3R,3'R)--Cystine; and (2S,3S)- and (2S,3R)--β-Chloroalanine

Stereospecifically β-labelled protected 2-carboxyaziridines 2, with the stereochemistry of a D-amino acid at C-2, have been prepared by a chemicoenzymic synthesis.Preparation of the labelled malates 5, by hydration of fumaric acid using the enzyme fumarase or by amination with aspartase followed by nitrosation, was followed by conversion into the isoserines 3, by a process involving Curtius rearrangement with retention of stereochemistry at the chirally labelled primary centre.Protection and ring closure gave the aziridines 2, which, on ring opening with the appropriate nucleophiles and deprotection, gave stereospecifically labelled samples of D-serine 16, D-cystine 20 and β-chloro-D-alanine 22.
