A wide range of optically active 3-amino-3-arylpropanoic acid derivatives have been prepared by means of a stereoselective chemoenzymatic route. The key step is the kinetic resolution of the corresponding β-amino esters. Although the enzymatic acylations of the amino group with ethyl methoxyacetate showed synthetically useful enantioselectivities, the hydrolyses of the ester group catalyzed by lipase from Pseudomonas cepacia have been identified as the optimal processes concerning both activity and enantioselectivity. The enantiopreference of this lipase in these reactions has been explained, at the molecular level, by using a fragment-based approach in which the most favoured binding site for a phenyl ring and the most stable conformation of the 3-aminopropanoate core nicely match the (S)-configuration of the major products. The conversion and enantioselectivity values of the enzymatic reactions have been compared in order to understand the influence of the different substitution patterns present in the phenyl ring. This chemoenzymatic route has been successfully applied to the preparation of a valuable intermediate in the synthesis of (S)-dapoxetine, which has been chemically synthesised in excellent optical purity.

[reaction: see text] A general method for the attachment of a chiral aromatic side-chain-containing beta-amino acid to a polymer support using a traceless silyl linkage strategy has been developed. Using this building block, solid-phase synthesis was carried out to obtain tripeptide analogues with the aromatic ring either unsubstituted or halogenated (Br, I) at the position of the silyl group. The building blocks could generate libraries of peptidomimetics or cyclic peptides containing beta-amino acids with nonpolar side chains.
