Chemo-enzymatic approach to the synthesis of the antithrombotic clopidogrel
摘要:
The (S)-2-chlorophenylglycine moiety is well recognized in the structure of (S)-clopidogrel, a known antithrombotic drug. We prepared an enantiomerically pure chiral building block via an enzyme-catalyzed resolution of (RS)-N-Boc-2-chlorophenylglycine methylester. The best results were obtained by means of an immobilized subtilisin, the cross-linked enzyme aggregate (Alcalase-CLEA (R)). The high enantiomeric excess of the synthon obtained remained the same over the course of clopidogrel synthesis; the simplicity of the process makes this pathway suitable for large-scale preparation.

asymmetric synthesis of amino acid derivatives is reported. Masked acyl cyanide (MAC) reagents are shown to be effective umpolung synthons for enantioselectiveadditions to N-Boc-aldimines. The reactions are catalyzed by a modified cinchona alkaloid, which can function as a bifunctional, hydrogen bonding catalyst, and afford adducts in excellent yields (90–98%) and high enantioselectivities (up to 97
dirhodium(II) carboxylates and chiralspirophosphoricacids (SPA) cooperativelycatalyzedasymmetricNHinsertionreactions with high enantioselectivity, high yields, and fast reaction rates at low catalyst loading (see scheme; Boc=tert‐butyloxycarbonyl, TPA=triphenylacetyl). Chiralspirophosphoricacid assisted asymmetric proton transfer is proposed as the chiral induction step.
