Bioreduction of 2-oxocyclopentanecarboxamides: syntheses of optically active 2-aminomethyl- and 2-aminocyclopentanols
摘要:
The fungus Mortierella isabellina NRRL 1757 catalyzes the reduction of 2-oxocyclopentanecarboxamides with very high enantioselectivity giving, in most cases, the corresponding enantiopure 2-hydroxycyclopentanecarboxamides. The presence or absence of a substituent on the amidic nitrogen has a strong influence on the diastereoselectivity achieved in these processes. Optically active hydroxyamides prepared in these microbial reductions are used as starting materials for the preparation of optically active 2-aminomethyl- and 2-aminocyclopentanols.

The first asymmetric ring-expansion carbonylation of meso-epoxides to β-lactones is reported. Two structurally diverse chiral Cr(III) chloro complexes in conjunction with Co2(CO)8 were shown to be competent catalytic systems for this transformation, displaying significant levels of asymmetric induction of up to 56% ee.
