Chiral Pyridoxal-Catalyzed Asymmetric Biomimetic Transamination of α-Keto Acids
摘要:
A series of chiral pyridoxals 8 and 9 have been developed from commercially available pyridoxine and (S)-alpha,alpha-diarylprolinols. The pyridoxals exhibited good catalytic activity in an asymmetric transamination of alpha-keto acids with 2,2-diphenylglycine (7f) as the amine source to give various alpha-amino acids in 29-85% yields with 53-80% ee's. The current asymmetric transamination has successfully mimicked a complete biological transamination process characterized by two half-transaminations, a small chiral pyridoxal molecule acting as the catalyst, and enantioselective control.
Asymmetric biomimetic transamination is a highly attractive method for synthesis of chemically and biologically important chiral amino acids and chiral amines. Development of chiral pyridoxamines/pyridoxals is the key for the reaction. New axially chiral biaryl pyridoxamines based on H4-naphathene skeleton have been developed. The pyridoxamines display good enantioselectivity and high catalytic activity
novel chiral pyridoxamines 3a–g containing a sidechain has been developed. The pyridoxamines displayed catalytic activity and promising enantioselectivity in biomimetic asymmetric transamination of α-keto acids, to give various α-amino acids in 47–90% yields with up to 87% ee’s under very mild conditions. An interesting effect of the sidechain on enantioselectivity was observed in the reaction.
transamination is catalyzed by pyridoxal/pyridoxamine, and it involves remarkable cooperativecatalysis of a Lys residue in the transaminase. Inspired by transaminases, we developed a class of axially chiral pyridoxamines 11 bearing a lateral amine arm. The pyridoxamines exhibited high catalytic activity and excellent enantioselectivity in asymmetric transamination of α-keto acids, to give various α-amino
