An objective of the present application is to provide an industrially practicable method for producing an optically-active 3-amino-2-hydroxypropionic cyclopropylamide derivative or salt thereof from an inexpensive easily-available starting material. The derivative or salt thereof is useful as an intermediate for a medicine. It is also intended by the present application to provide a useful intermediate of the derivative. The objective is attained by the following method. First, an easily-available 2-halo-3-oxopropionic acid derivative is asymmetrically reduced, and then epoxidated to produce an optically-active epoxycarboxylic acid derivative. Next, the derivative is converted into an optically-active epoxyamide derivative by reaction with cyclopropylamine, and then reacted with a nitrile to obtain an optically-active oxazolinamide derivative. Subsequently, selective acid solvolysis of the oxazoline skeleton gives the optically-active 3-amino-2-hydroxypropionic cyclopropylamide derivative or salt thereof.
A general preparation of chiral ruthenium(II) catalysts and the homogeneous enantioselective hydrogenation of prochiral olefins and keto groups are presented. Some applications to the synthesis of biologically active compounds are reported. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
Several aliphatic or aromatic 2-chloro-3-oxoesters are stereoselectively reduced by yeast or fungal strains, affording in fair to good yield and high enantiomeric excess some of the respective 2-chloro-3-hydroxyester stereoisomers.
Stereospecific preparation of glycidic esters from 2-chloro-3-hydroxyesters. Application to the synthesis of (2R,3S)-3-phenylisoserine
Cis- and trans-glycidic esters may be synthesized in high enantiomeric purities by cyclisation with potassium carbonate in DMF of the corresponding syn- or anti-2-chloro-3-hydroxyesters, prepared by microbial reduction of 2-chloro-3-oxoesters. In contrast, more basic media such as sodium ethylate afford exclusively the trans-isomer, whatever the stereochemistry of the starting 2-chloro-3-hydroxyester
