Nitrile Biotransformations for the Efficient Synthesis of Highly Enantiopure 1-Arylaziridine-2-carboxylic Acid Derivatives and Their Stereoselective Ring-Opening Reactions
摘要:
Catalyzed by the Rhodococcus erythropolis AJ270 whole cell catalyst under very mild conditions, biotransformations of racemic 1-arylaziridine-2-carbonitriles proceeded efficiently and enantioselectively to produce highly enantiopure S-1-arylaziridine-2-carboxamides and R-1-arylaziridine-2-carboxylic acids in excellent yields. Although the nitrile hydratase exhibits no selectivity against all nitrile substrates, the amidase is highly R-enantioselective towards 1-arylaziridine-2-carboxamides. When treated with benzyl bromide, 1-phenylaziridine-2S-carboxamide underwent a highly regioselective and enantiospecific ring-opening reaction to afford an almost quantitative yield of R-beta-[(benzyl)phenylamino]-alpha-bromopropanamide (C-2 attack) and R-alpha-[(benzyl)phenylamino]-beta-bromopropanamide (C-3 attack) in a 10.5:1 ratio. Further treatment of the resulting ring-opening products with an N-nucleophilic reagent such as amine and azide led to, through most probably the aziridinium intermediate, the formation of S-alpha-substituted-beta-[(benzyl)phenylamino]propanamides in good chemical yields with high enantiomeric purity.
The invention relates to a process for making an aziridine, wherein an aldehyde, a nitroso compound and a Michael acceptor are reacted in the presence of an N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) catalyst.

NHC-catalyzed direct amidation of aldehydes with nitroso compounds is a powerful method for the synthesis of N-arylhydroxamic acids. A variety of aryl, alkyl, alkenyl, and heterocyclic aldehydes were found to give excellent yields of the corresponding N-arylhydroxamic acids. This chemistry was also extended to the synthesis of chiral N-arylhydroxamic acids by kinetic resolution of a-branched aldehydes, a domino amidation-redox amination reaction of acrolein, and a three-component reaction for the synthesis of N-arylaziridines.
