A pseudoephedrine resin has been successfully employed in asymmetric alkylations on solid phase. Immobilized pseudoephedrine amides are conveniently prepared by the one-step attachment of pseudoephedrine to Merrifield resin through the hydroxyl group and subsequent acylation on nitrogen. Deprotonation and alkylation of the resin-bound amides proceeds smoothly. Ketones and alcohols are cleaved from

The application of three BVMOs for the enantioselective oxidation of 3-phenylbutan-2-ones with different substituents in the aromatic moiety is described. By choosing the appropriate biocatalyst and substrate combination, chiral ketones and esters can be obtained with excellent enantiopurities. This methodology could also be applied to the resolution of racemic alpha-alkyl benzylketones with longer alkyl chains as well as with two substituted alpha-substituted benzylacetones. A kinetic analysis revealed that the BVMOs studied effectively convert all tested compounds showing that the enzymes are tolerant towards the substrate structure while being highly enantioselective. These properties render BVMOs as valuable biocatalysts for the preparation of compounds with high interest in organic synthesis. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Immobilized pseudoephedrine amides have been conveniently prepared by attachment of pseudoephedrine to Merrifield resin and acylation on nitrogen. Deprotonation and alkylation of the resin bound amides proceeds smoothly. Products were cleaved from the resin to give ketones and alcohols in high enantiomeric excess and moderate to good overall yield.
