Enantioenriched ω-bromocyanohydrin derivatives. Improved selectivity by combination of two chiral catalysts
摘要:
Highly enantioenriched (R)-4-bromo-1-cyanobutyl acetate and (R)-5-bromo-1-cyanopentyl acetate were prepared by acetylcyanation of 4-bromobutanal and 5-bromopentanal, respectively, catalyzed by (S,S)-[(4,6-bis(t-butyl)salen)Ti(mu-O)](2) and triethylamine followed by enzymatic hydrolysis of the minor enantiomer. A cyclic procedure employing the same two chiral catalysts provided inferior results due to a slowly reached steady state and, in reactions with the former substrate, to ring-closure of the free cyanohydrin formed as an intermediate in the reaction. Hydrolysis of the acylated cyanohydrins followed by AgClO4-promoted cyclization provided (R)-2-cyanotetrahydrofuran and (R)-2-cyanotetrahydropyran in essentially enantiopure form.

preparation of (S)-2-cyanopiperidine 4 provides a new access to 2-substituted piperidines. This synthesis is based on an enantioselective (R)-oxynitrilase-catalyzed reaction for the preparation of (R)-(+)-6-bromo-2-hydroxyhexanenitrile 1 and the subsequent cyclization of this compound to yield the piperidine ring. The utilization of 4 as the starting material for the synthesis of (S)-2-aminomethylpiperidine
Optically active (S)-ketone- and (R)-aldehyde-cyanohydrins via an (R)-oxynitrifase-catalysed transcyanation. Chemoenzymatic syntheses of 2-cyanotetrahydrofuran and 2-cyanotetrahydropyran
(R)-Oxynitrilase catalyses the enantioselective decyanation of racemic ketone cyanohydrins and the enantioselective addition of HCN to ω-bromoaldehydes in one step.
Crude preparations obtained from mamey (Pouteria sapota), capulin (Prunus serotina var. capulli) and peach (Prunus persica) leaves were used to catalyze the enantioselective addition of HCN to a variety of aldehydes. The corresponding cyanohydrins were obtained with high levels of enantioselectivity, comparable with those obtained with other catalysts used for the same purpose. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd.
