Regio- and enantioselectivity of the Candida antarctica lipase catalyzed amidations of Cbz-l- and Cbz-d-glutamic acid diesters
摘要:
Candida antarctica lipase (CAL) catalyzed amidation of Cbz-glutamic acid diesters takes place in a regioselective way to give the corresponding monoamide derivatives. The regioselectivity was found to be dependent on the reacting Glu enantiomer. Thus, amidations of Cbz-L-Glu diesters regiospecifically afforded alpha-amide while the gamma-ester is selectively substituted in the D-enantiomer. This enzymatic reaction also shows enantioselectivity when a chiral amine is used as nucleophile.

Regioselective lipase-catalysed γ-monoamidation of d-glutamic acid diesters: effect of the N-protecting group
N-Blocked-D-glutamic acid diethylesters are gamma-regioselectively amidated in a reaction catalysed by Candida antarctica lipase B, carried out in an anhydrous organic solvent. The ratio of gamma:alpha-monoamides, as a measure of regioselectivity, depends on the N-protecting group present in the substrate. In the examples reported in this work, we have found that gamma:alpha ranges from about 4 (N-group = Cbz) to 35 (N-group = isobutyryl). No diamides were detected. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.
