Amine transaminase (ATA) catalyzing stereoselective amination of prochiral ketones is an attractive alternative to transition metal catalysis. As wild-type ATAs do not accept sterically hindered ketones, efforts to widen the substrate scope to more challenging targets are of general interest. We recently designed ATAs to accept aromatic and thus planar bulky amines, with a sequence-based motif that supports the identification of novel enzymes. However, these variants were not active against 2,2-dimethyl-1-phenyl-propan-1-one, which carries a bulky tert-butyl substituent adjacent to the carbonyl function. Here, we report a solution for this type of substrate. The evolved ATAs perform asymmetric synthesis of the respective R amine with high conversions by using either alanine or isopropylamine as amine donor.
Enantioselective synthesis of primary 1-(aryl)alkylamines by nucleophilic 1,2-addition of organolithium reagents to hydroxyoxime ethers and application to asymmetric synthesis of G-protein-coupled receptor ligands

(E)-Arylaldehyde oxime ethers bearing a (1S)-2-hydroxy-1-phenylethyl or (2R)-1-hydroxy-2-phenylethyl group as a chiral auxiliary, both derived from a single precursor, methyl (R)-mandelate, underwent nucleophilic addition with organolithium reagents via six-membered chelates to give the diastereomerically enriched (R)- and (S)-adducts, respectively, which, after chiral auxiliary removal by reductive N-O bond cleavage, led to the corresponding (R)- and (S)-1-(aryl)ethylamines. This organolithium addition protocol using methyllithium was applied in an enantiodivergent fashion to the preparation of both enantiomers of 1-(2-hydroxyphenyl)ethylamine, which has been previously used as an efficient chiral auxiliary for the synthesis of natural products in this laboratory. The synthetic utility of this methodology involving diastereoselective methyl addition was demonstrated by further application to the asymmetric synthesis of a new type of calcium receptor agonist (calcimimetics), (R)-(+)-NPS R-568 and its thio analogue. Furthermore, diastereoselective vinylation was accomplished by application of the hydroxy oxime ether-based protocol using vinyllithium, which allowed the development of the enantioselective synthesis of the NK-1 receptor antagonists, (+)-CP-99,994 and (+)-CP-122,721.

A series enantiomerically pure sulfinimines carrying new camphor-based mercapto chiral auxiliaries are subjected to assymetric alkylation.Such reaction offers an excellent route to the preparation of optically active primary amines.Also reported here is an unprecedented Grignard addition of a chiral sulfenimine leading to a single enantiomer of the corresponding sulfenamide and thence produced enantiopure amine after acidic aqueous workup.The chiral auxiliary can be recovered in high yield.
