Chiral derivatives of γ-aminobutyric acid are widely used as medicines and can be obtained by organocatalytic Michael additions. We show here the stereoselective synthesis of 4-methylpregabalin stereoisomers using a Michael addition of dimethyl malonate to a racemic nitroalkene. The key step of the synthesis operates as a kinetic resolution with a chiral squaramide catalyst. Furthermore, specific organocatalysts can provide respective stereoisomers of the key Michael adduct in up to 99:1 er.
Chemoenzymatic preparation of optically active trans-cyclohexane-1,2- diamine derivatives: An efficient synthesis of the analgesic U-(-)-50,488

Stereoespecific syntheses of (±)-trans-N,N-cyclohexane-1,2-diamines ((±)-4a-g) were carried out from the corresponding (±)-trans-N,N- dialkylaminocyclohexanols by successive treatment with mesyl chloride and aqueous ammonia. The stereochemical outcome indicates the formation of a meso-aziridinium ion intermediate, Kinetic resolutions of diamines (±)-4 were efficiently accomplished in aminolysis reactions catalyzed by lipase B from Candida antarctica with ethyl acetate as the solvent and acyl donor. Acetamides and the remaining diamines, isolated as the benzyloxycarbonyl derivatives, were obtained with very high ee values (92-99%), One of the carbamates was used as a precursor of the analgesic U-(-)-50,488.
