Synthesis of Enantiopure Fluorohydrins Using Alcohol Dehydrogenases at High Substrate Concentrations
摘要:
The use of purified and overexpressed alcohol dehydrogenases to synthesize enantiopure fluorinated alcohols is shown. When the bioreductions were performed with ADH-A from Rhodococcus ruber overexpressed in E. coli, no external cofactor was necessary to obtain the enantiopure (R)-derivatives. Employing Lactobacillus brevis ADH, it was possible to achieve the synthesis of enantiopure (S)-fluorohydrins at a 0.5 M substrate concentration. Furthermore, due to the activated character of these substrates, a huge excess of the hydrogen donor was not necessary.
inversion protocol starting with enantioenriched 1-aryl-2-fluoroethanols using phthalimide as nucleophile was employed in the synthesis of the (S)-1-aryl-2-fluoroethylamines. Both the inversion efficiency and yield depended on the aromatic substituents. For six of the substrates, clean inversion of the stereochemistry was observed. However, racemisation and low yields were the result when electron-donating
The asymmetric reduction of eight alpha-fluoroacetophenones has been investigated using (R)-MeCBS as a catalyst in various media. Based on a solvent screen, 1,2-dimethoxyethane, diethyl ether and dichloromethane were used in reductions of the alpha-fluoroacetophenones. The enantiomeric excess of the products depended oil the solvent and the electronic character of the aromatic substituents. Higher enantioselectivity and less solvent dependency were observed in the reduction of substrates bearing electron donating substituents, whereas the opposite was the case for reduction of the substrates with electron withdrawing substituents. The (R)-2-fluoro-1-arylethanols were obtained with enantiomeric excesses in the range of 91-99% using 1,2-dimethoxyethane as a solvent. Six of the alcohols produced are new chemical entities. The absolute configurations of the (R)-2-fluoro-1-arylethanols were determined by circular dichroism using the exciton chirality method of tile (S)-benzoate esters of the alcohols. The (S)-benzoate esters were obtained by lipase-catalysed resolution using Novozym 435. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All Fights reserved.

The first examples of asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of alpha-fluoroacetophenones are reported. Eight para-substituted a-fluoroacetophenones have been reduced using four catalytic systems constructed of [RuCl2(p-cymene)(2)](2) or [RuCl2(mesitylene)(2)](2) in combinations with each of the ligands (1R,2R)-N-(p-toluenesulfonyl)-1,2-diphenylethylenediamine ((R,R)-TsDPEN) and (1R,2R)-N-(p-toluenesulfonyl)-1,2cyclohexanediamine ((R,R)-TsCYDN). All reactions were performed in both water and formic acid/triethylamine. The highest enantioselectivity was obtained using the (R,R)-TsDPEN ligand in a formic acid/triethylamine mixture, giving the (S)-1-aryl-2-fluoroethanols in high to moderate enantiomeric excess (97.5-84.5%). For this solvent system the presence of electron withdrawing groups in the para position reduced the enantioselectivity. Reactions performed in water generally gave lower enantioselectivity and reaction rate, although RuCl(mesitylene)-(R,R)-TsDPEN yielded the product alcohols with enantiomeric excess in the range of 95.5-76.5%.
