for the stereoselective synthesis of hydroxylated cyclic amino acids. Using ketoreductases, cyclic ketoesters are converted with high diastereo‐ and enantioselectivity to all isomers of 3‐hydroxyproline and 3‐hydroxypipecolic acid via a dynamic kinetic reduction reaction. This work highlights the ability of enzymes to provide solutions to challenges in stereoselective synthesis.
A highly practicable synthesis of both enantiomers of 3-hydroxypipecolic acid derivatives 1, 2, 3, 4 is described. Screening of these molecules for glycosidase inhibition has been examined. Compound 3 was shown to be a potent inhibitor of beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase as well as Escherichia coli beta-glucuronidase. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
