The inventor relates to a process for the preparation of (S)- and (R)-α-amino acid dervatives by asymmetric hydrogenation starting from a substrate of the formula I
in which
R¹denotes hydrogen or an alkyl group
R²denotes a protecting group and
R³denotes hydrogen, an alkyl, aryl, aralkyl, alkaryl, heteroalkyl or heteroaryl group,
which is hydrogenated in the presence of a rhodium(I)complex catalyst of the formula II
/Rh(Z)(Lk)/⁺A⁻ II
in which
Rhdenotes rhodium
Zdenotes a chiral chelating ligand with two trivalent phosphorous atoms as coordination partners for a bond to rhodium
Ldenotes a solvent molecule
kdenotes 0, 1, 2, or 3 and
A⁻denotes an anion of a weakly coordinating acid, such as BF₄⁻, ClO₄⁻, SO₄H⁻, PF₆⁻, R⁴-COO⁻, or R⁴SO₃⁻, where R⁴ denotes a fluorinated alkyl or aryl group
into an α-amino acid derivative of the formula III
in which
R¹denotes hydrogen or an alkyl group
R²denotes a protecting group and
R³denotes hydrogen, an alkyl, aryl, aralkyl, alkaryl, heteroalkyl or heteroaryl group
in which process an amphiphilic substance of the formula IV
A-E IV
in which
Adenotes a nonpolar alkyl chain with 5 to 20 carbon atoms or a glycerol dialkylether group and
Edenotes a polar (hydrophilic)group, such as -O-SO₃Na, -SO₃Na, -O(CH₂CH₂O)nH or -OP⊖O₂/OCH₂CH₂N⊕(CH₃)₃/, where n is a number between 3 and 15.
The hydrogenation can be carried out in a polar or nonpolar solvent.
