Enantioselective enzymatic desymmetrization of the prochiral pyrimidine acyclonucleoside
摘要:
The effect of the solvent and the acyl group donor on the selectivity of the transesterification reaction of {[(1,3-dihydroxypropan-2-yl)oxy]methyl}-5-methylpyrimidine-2.4(1H,3H)-dione was examined. Lipase (EC 3.1.1.3) Amano PS from Burkholderia cepacia (BCL) enabled desymmetrization of prochiral hydroxyl groups and gave the (R)-monoester in high enantiomeric excess (ee 88-99%). The best selectivity was obtained for the transesterification reaction with vinyl benzoate as the acylating agent (only monoester, 99% ee). The absolute configuration of the newly formed stereogenic center was determined with a high degree of confidence on the basis of the combined experimental and theoretical electronic circular dichroic (ECD) studies. The hydrolysis of prochiral diesters formed during the transesterification reaction in the presence of BCL provided the opposite enantiomer, that is, the (S)-monoester. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

Abstract The influence of solvent and acyl group donor on selectivity of the transesterification reaction of 1-[1′,3′-dihydroxy-2′-propoxymethyl]-5-methyluracil, a structural analogue of ganciclovir was examined. Lipase (EC 3.1.1.3) B from Candida antarctica (CALB) enabled desymmetrization of prochiral hydroxyl groups when 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([Bmim][PF6]) was used as a
