Enantiopure trans-3-Arylaziridine-2-carboxamides: Preparation by Bacterial Hydrolysis and Ring-Openings toward Enantiopure, Unnatural d-α-Amino Acids
摘要:
Several racemic trans-3-arylaziridine-2-carboxamides were prepared and then resolved by Rhodococcus rhodochrous IFO 15564-catalyzed hydrolysis. The resulting enantiopure (2R,3S)-3-arylaziridine-2-carboxamides are adequate substrates to undergo fully stereoselective nucleophilic ring-openings at the C-3 ring position to finally yield enantiopure, unnatural D-alpha-aminocarboxylic acids. Experimental evidence is provided that suggests the fate of the (2S,3R)-3-arylaziridine-2-carboxylic acids concomitantly formed during the resolution processes. In this context, the similar bacterial resolution of racemic 1-arylaziridine-2-carboxamides and -carbonitriles, previously investigated by our research group, has been partially re-examined.

Aryl trichlorovinyl ketones undergo regioselective reduction to the corresponding carbinols with sodium borohydride in alcoholic solvents and are transformed to the (Z)-alpha-chlorocinnamate ester derivatives via an acid-catalyzed allylic rearrangement. Michael addition of ammonia to these ester derivatives affords cis- and/or trans-aziridine amides. The facile rearrangement allows the synthesis of d,l-phenylalanine derived from perchloroethylene and toluene.
