Highly enantiomerically enriched N-protected α-aminoacids can be easily prepared from opticallypure N-(tert-butanesulfinyl)imines by a four-step sequence involving: diastereoselective addition of a triorganozincate to the imine, removal of the sulfinyl group, benzoylation of the nitrogen atom of the obtained primary amine and oxidation of one of the substituents on the carbon atom α to the nitrogen
A cobalt-catalyzed enantioselective deuteration provides α,β-dideuterio-α-amino acids in excellent enantioselectivity and almost complete deuteration, using deuterated methanol as cheap deuterium source.

We report the development and optimization of a tetrapeptide that catalyzes the methanolytic dynamic kinetic resolution of oxazol-5(4H)-ones (azlactones) with high levels of enantioinduction. Oxazolones possessing benzylic-type substituents were found to perform better than others, providing methyl ester products in 88:12 to 98:2 er. The mechanism of this peptide-catalyzed process was investigated through truncation studies and competition experiments. High-field NOESY analysis was performed to elucidate the solution-phase structure of the peptide, and we present a plausible model for catalysis.

A general enzymatic asymmetric synthesis of L-alpha-amino acids has been developed. This method entails the use of the Pseudomonas cepacia lipase (P-30) to catalyze the enantioselective methanolysis of a variety of 4-substituted 2-phenyloxazolin-5-one derivatives in a nonpolar organic solvent to furnish optically-active N-benzoyl-L-alpha-amino acid methyl esters (ee = 66-98%), which in turn is subjected to a protease-catalyzed kinetic resolution yielding enantiomerically-pure N-benzoyl-L-alpha-amino acids. This synergistic coupling of two enzymes allows the ready preparation of L-alpha-amino acids of high enantiopurity in yields greater than 50%, an inherent advantage over conventional resolution procedures. Two proteases were found to catalyze the enantioselective hydrolysis of a variety of 4-substituted 2-phenylthiazolin-5-one derivatives to give N-(thiobenzoyl)-L-alpha-amino acids of high optical purity.

[GRAPHICS]A new chiral benzimidazolide is developed as a nonenzymatic acylating agent for enantioselective benzoylation of racemic cc-amino esters. The process is highly efficient, which exhibits uniformly high enantioselectivity for alpha-amino esters with or without aryl substituents under mild reaction conditions. The chiral benzimidazolide is inexpensive and is easily accessible.
