Enantiomerically Pure 3-Aryl- and 3-Hetaryl-2-hydroxypropanoic Acids by Chemoenzymatic Reduction of 2-Oxo Acids
摘要:
Phenyllactic acids are found in numerous natural products as well as in active substances used in medicine or plant protection. Enantiomerically pure phenyllactic acids are available by transition-metal-catalyzed hydrogenations or chemoenzymatic reductions of the corresponding 3-aryl-2-oxopropanoic acids. We show here that d-lactate dehydrogenase from Staphylococcus epidermidis reduces a broad spectrum of 2-oxo acids, which are difficult substrates for transition-metal-catalyzed reactions, with excellent enantioselectivities in a simple experimental setup.

methods available today, overcoming the inherent reactivity still remains a constant challenge in organic chemistry. The oxidative α-functionalization of ketones by external nucleophiles constitute such an example. Herein, we present a hypervalent F-iodane mediated umpolung of pyridyl ketones triggered by Lewis base/Lewis acid noncovalent interactions. A wide variety of external nucleophiles are introduced

A mild and convenient synthesis of substituted indolizines from readily available 2-(pyridin-2-yl)acetyl derivatives using (trimethylsilyl)diazomethane is described. The extension of this methodology to the synthesis of indolefrom 2-aminobenzaldehyde is also reported.
