Diarylketone Ketoreductase Screen and Synthesis Demonstration to Access mGlu2 Receptor Potentiators
摘要:
This communication describes proof of concept for an enantioselective enzyme-based synthesis of diarylmethanol (S)-1 to access mGlu2 receptor potentiators. A ketoreductase (KRED) screen was applied to benzophenone 8 to afford chiral diarylmethanol (S)-9, which is a useful intermediate for the preparation of chiral diarylmethanol (S)-1. In addition, a more practical synthesis of benzophenone 8 was demonstrated utilizing Friedel Crafts acylation and radical bromination chemistry.
