A new chemo-enzymatic route to chiral 2-hydroxy-4-phenylbutyrates by combining lactonase-mediated resolution with hydrogenation over Pd/C.

چکیده
A new chemo-enzymatic route to both isomers of 2-hydroxy-4-phenylbutyric acid is reported. The key step is the lactonase-catalyzed hydrolysis of cis- and trans-2-hydroxy-4-phenyl-4-butyrolactones followed by hydrogenation over Pd/C to afford optically pure 2-hydroxy-4-phenylbutyric acid.

Chemo-Enzymatic Synthesis of Chiral Epoxides Ethyl and Methyl (S)-3-(Oxiran-2-yl)propanoates from Renewable Levoglucosenone: An Access to Enantiopure (S)-Dairy Lactone.
Chiral epoxides-such as ethyl and methyl (S)-3-(oxiran-2-yl)propanoates ((S)-1a/1b)-are valuable precursors in many chemical syntheses. Until recently, these compounds were synthesized from glutamic acid in four steps (deamination, reduction, tosylation and epoxide formation) in low to moderate overall yield (20%-50%). Moreover, this procedure requires some harmful reagents such as sodium nitri...
متن کاملSynthetic approaches to a chiral 4-amino-3-hydroxy piperidine with pharmaceutical relevance.
Four synthetic strategies were evaluated towards the preparation of (-)-(3R,4R)-1-benzyl-4-(benzylamino)piperidin-3-ol (1), which was constructed with control over the relative and absolute stereochemistry of the 4,3-amino alcohol moiety. The first strategy employed a novel Rh(I) catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation, while two other strategies exploited the existing stereochemistry in 2-deoxy-D-r...
متن کاملEnantioselective Hydrogenation on Cinchona-Modified Metal Catalysts:Mechanistic Implications of Acid Additive
The enantioselective hydrogenation of 4-hydroxy-6-methyl-2pyrone in the presence of acetic acid and trifluoroacetic acid has been studied on cinchonidine-modified Pd/TiO2. Catalytic experiments and theoretical calculations indicate the formation of a cinchonidine–trifluoroacetic acid cyclic ion pair. We propose that this is the actual modifier, which interacts with 4-hydroxy-6-methyl2-pyrone in...
متن کاملAn enantioselective approach to 2,3-disubstituted indolines through consecutive Brønsted acid/Pd-complex-promoted tandem reactions.
Tandem reactions and consecutive catalysis (or relay catalysis) have been receiving considerable attention in organic synthesis due to their abilities of constructing multiple new chemical bonds to build complex chiral molecules in a single operation. Transition-metal-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation is one of the most widely used and reliable catalytic methods for preparation of chiral molec...
متن کاملAsymmetric hydrogenation of α,α'-disubstituted cycloketones through dynamic kinetic resolution: an efficient construction of chiral diols with three contiguous stereocenters.
Chiral diols with three contiguous stereocenters were synthesized by a highly enantioselective ruthenium-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of racemic α,α'-disubstituted cycloketones involving dynamic kinetic resolution. This new catalytic asymmetric method provides a concise route to the alkaloid (+)-γ-lycorane.
