Enantiomerically pure tetrahydro-5-oxo-2-furancarboxylic esters from dialkyl 2-oxoglutarates
摘要:
Enantiomerically pure tetrahydro-5-oxo-2-furancarboxylic esters can be prepared either by enzymatic resolution of the racemic gamma-lactones themselves or by bioreduction with baker's yeast of dialkyl 2-oxoglutarates and subsequent cyclization of the resulting dialkyl 2-hydroxyglutarates. The best results were obtained by the former route, by which the desired compounds were isolated in high enantiomeric excess. Bioreductions were less satisfactory. In fact the hydroxyester intermediates were initially formed as racemic mixtures and their final enantiomeric enrichment was reached by asymmetric destruction, occurring in the bioreaction medium, however at the same time large amounts of alkyl 4-hydroxybutanoates were formed as side products.

The present invention relates to a process for preparing the 2-bromoglutaric acid diester of formula (I) below:
comprising the formation of the 2-hydroxyglutaric acid diester of formula (II)
by reaction of butyrolactone acid of formula (BA)
with the alcohol of formula ROH, in the presence of an acid such as sulfuric acid; and bromination of the 2-hydroxyglutaric acid diester of formula (II), by sparging with gaseous hydrobromic acid.
The present invention also relates to a 2-bromoglutaric acid diester of formula (I), having a degree of purity determined by HPLC analysis of greater than or equal to 90%.
