Nitrile and Amide Biotransformations for the Synthesis of Enantiomerically Pure 3-Arylaziridine-2-carboxamide Derivatives and Their Stereospecific Ring-Opening Reactions
摘要:
[Graphics]Catalyzed by Rhodococcus erythropolis AJ270 (whole cell catalyst) under very mild conditions, a number of racemic trans-3-arylaziridine-2-carbonitriles and amides were efficiently transformed into enantiopure 2R,3S-3-arylaziridine2-carboxamides. While the nitrile hydratase exhibits low selectivity against nitrile substrates, the amidase is highly enantioselective toward 2S,3R-3-arylaziridine-2-carboxamides. Upon the treatment with catalytic hydrogenation, amine, or water in the presence of one equivalent of TFA, the resulting aziridine-2-carboxamides underwent highly efficient and stereospecific ring-opening reactions to produce enantiopure (alpha-amino-, alpha,beta-diamino-, and (alpha-amino-beta-hydroxypropanamide derivatives in high yields.
Synthesis of .alpha.-halocinnamate esters via solvolytic rearrangement of trichloroallyl alcohols
摘要:
Aryl trichlorovinyl ketones undergo regioselective reduction to the corresponding carbinols with sodium borohydride in alcoholic solvents and are transformed to the (Z)-alpha-chlorocinnamate ester derivatives via an acid-catalyzed allylic rearrangement. Michael addition of ammonia to these ester derivatives affords cis- and/or trans-aziridine amides. The facile rearrangement allows the synthesis of d,l-phenylalanine derived from perchloroethylene and toluene.

Several racemic trans-3-arylaziridine-2-carboxamides were prepared and then resolved by Rhodococcus rhodochrous IFO 15564-catalyzed hydrolysis. The resulting enantiopure (2R,3S)-3-arylaziridine-2-carboxamides are adequate substrates to undergo fully stereoselective nucleophilic ring-openings at the C-3 ring position to finally yield enantiopure, unnatural D-alpha-aminocarboxylic acids. Experimental evidence is provided that suggests the fate of the (2S,3R)-3-arylaziridine-2-carboxylic acids concomitantly formed during the resolution processes. In this context, the similar bacterial resolution of racemic 1-arylaziridine-2-carboxamides and -carbonitriles, previously investigated by our research group, has been partially re-examined.
