An optically active tropinonemonocarboxylic acid ester derivative useful as an intermediate for synthesis of optically active tropane derivatives was obtained by reacting succindialdehyde with an organic amine and acetonedicarboxylic acid ester to obtain a tropinonedicarboxylic acid ester derivative, and then subjecting this derivative to enzyme-catalyzed asymmetric dealkoxy-carbonylation. Since anhydroecgonine methyl ester derived from the optically active tropinone-monocarboxylic acid ester derivative by reduction and dehydration had the same direction of optical rotation as in the case of anhydroecgonine methyl ester obtained from natural cocaine, it was proved that the obtained optically active tropinonemonocarboxylic acid ester derivative had the same absolute configuration as that of natural cocaine. The yield of the optically active tropinonemonocarboxylic acid ester derivative from the asymmetric dealkoxycarbonylation was 30 to 50 mol%, and its optical purity was 70 to 97%ee. In addition, it was found that a crystalline optically active anhydroecgonine carboxylic acid ester derivative can be obtained by reducing and then dehydrating the optically active tropinonemonocarboxylic acid ester derivative and that its optical purity can easily be increased by recrystallization.
将琥珀醛与有机胺和丙酮羧酸酯反应,得到一种具有光学活性的托品酮羧酸酯衍生物,然后将这种衍生物进行酶催化的不对称脱烷氧羰基化反应,得到一种具有光学活性的托品酮羧酸酯衍生物,这种衍生物可用作合成具有光学活性的托烷衍生物的中间体。由于通过还原和脱水从具有光学活性的托品酮一羧酸酯衍生物中得到的羟基可可碱甲酯与从天然可卡因中得到的羟基可可碱甲酯具有相同的旋光方向,因此证明所得到的具有光学活性的托品酮一羧酸酯衍生物与天然可卡因具有相同的绝对构型。通过不对称脱烷氧羰基化得到的具有光学活性的托品右旋羧酸酯衍生物的产率为 30 至 50 摩尔%,光学纯度为 70 至 97%ee。此外,研究还发现,通过还原然后脱水,可以得到结晶的光学活性安氢壬酸酯衍生物,而且其光学纯度很容易通过重结晶提高。
