Enzymatic resolution of hindered cyanohydrins, key precursors of muscarinic receptor antagonists
摘要:
Enantiomerically pure 1-cycloalkyl-1-hydroxy-1-phenylcyanohydrins, key precursors in the synthesis of (S)-oxybutynin and other antimuscarinic agents, have been successfully prepared via lipase-catalyzed kinetic resolutions. Pseudomonas cepacia and Candida antarctica lipase B have shown excellent enantioselectivities in hydrolysis and acylation processes, depending on the substrate structure and the reaction conditions. Furthermore, molecular modeling of phosphonate transition state analogue for the C antarctica lipase B enzymatic hydrolysis resolution step supports these facts, which were experimentally observed.
