The catalytic, alcoholytic kinetic resolution of oxazinones is reported. A novel, stereochemically dense cinchona alkaloid-based catalyst can facilitate the highly enantiodiscriminatory (Sup to 101) ring-opening of oxazinones equipped with electrophilic aryl units to generate orthogonally protected β-amino acids for the first time.

A nitrilase from Hoeflea phototrophica DFL-43 (HpN) demonstrating excellent catalytic activity towards benzoylacetonitrile was identified from a nitrilase tool-box, which was developed previously in our laboratory for (R)-o-chloromandelic acid synthesis from o-chloromandelonitrile. The HpN was overexpressed in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3), purified to homogeneity by nickel column affinity chromatography, and its biochemical properties were studied. The HpN was very stable at 30–40?°C, and highly active over a wide range of pH values (pH 6.0–10.0). In addition, the HpN could tolerate against several hydrophilic organic solvents. Steady-state kinetics indicated that HpN was highly active towards benzoylacetonitrile, giving a KM of 4.2?mM and a kcat of 170?s?1, the latter of which is ca. fivefold higher than the highest record reported so far. A cascade reaction for the synthesis of optically pure (S)-β-phenylalanine from benzoylacetonitrile was developed by coupling HpN with an ω-transaminase from Polaromonas sp. JS666 in toluene-water biphasic reaction system using β-alanine as an amino donor. Various (S)-β-amino acids could be produced from benzoylacetonitrile derivatives with moderate to high conversions (73–99%) and excellent enantioselectivity (> 99% ee). These results are significantly advantageous over previous studies, indicating a great potential of this cascade reaction for the practical synthesis of (S)-β-phenylalanine in the future.

An efficient synthesis of the (S)-3-amino-3-phenylpropanoic acid enantiomer has been achieved by Carica papaya lipase (CPL) catalysed enantioselective alcoholysis of the corresponding racemic N-protected 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl esters in an organic solvent. A high enantioselectivity (E > 200) was achieved by two strategies that involved engineering of the substrates and optimization of the reaction conditions. Based on the resolution of a series of amino acids, it was found that the structure of the substrate has a profound effect on the CPL-catalysed resolution. The enantioselectivity and reaction rate were significantly enhanced by switching the conventional methyl ester to an activated trifluoroethyl ester. When considering steric effects, the substituted phenyl and amino groups should not both be large for the CPL-catalysed resolution. The mechanism of the CPL-catalysed enantioselective alcoholoysis of the amino acids is discussed to delineate the substrate requirements for CPL-catalysed resolution. Finally, the reaction was scaled up, and the products were separated and obtained in good yields (≥ 80 %). The (S)-3-amino-3- phenylpropanoic acid obtained was used as a key chiral intermediate in the synthesis of (S)-dapoxetine with very high enantiomeric excess (> 99 %). A carica papaya lipase catalysed resolution of N-protected β-phenylalanine esters has been developed. High enantioselectivity was achieved by two strategies that involved engineering of the substrates and optimization of the reaction conditions. After 50 % conversion, the products were separated and used as key chiral intermediates for the synthesis of (S)-dapoxetine with > 99 % ee. Copyright
