transesterification process in hydrophobic solvents (diisopropyl ether, toluene and hexane) enhanced the reaction rate drastically and gave optimal yields with high enantioselectivity (>99%). Moreover, enantiopure 3-hydroxy-3-phenylpropanenitrile products have been converted via enantioconvergent routes into the (R)- and (S)-enantiomers of the important anti-depressants fluoxetine, tomoxetine, nisoxetine and norfluoxetine
(±)-3-羟基-3-苯基丙腈的简便制备方法是通过在乙醇水溶液中用NaCN开环氧化苯乙烯。随后通过脂肪酶介导的酯交换反应动力学分离该物质,得到S-醇和R-乙酸酯具有出色的收率和高对映选择性,尤其是对于脂肪酶PS-C'Amano'II而言。还研究了溶剂和脂肪酶固定化的作用。有趣的是,在疏水性溶剂(二异丙基醚,甲苯和己烷)的酯交换过程中使用固定化脂肪酶可大大提高反应速率,并以高对映选择性(> 99%)获得最佳收率。此外,对映体纯的3-羟基-3-苯基丙腈产物已通过对映收敛途径转化为重要的抗抑郁药氟西汀,托莫西汀,尼索西汀和去氟西汀的(R)-和(S)-对映体。
