Synthesis of high enantiomeric purity gem-dihalocyclopropane derivatives from biotransformations of nitriles and amides
摘要:
Enantioselective biotransformations of geminally dihalogenated cyclopropanecarbonitriles and amides are described. Both the reaction rate and enantioselectivity of the nitrile hydratase and amidase involved in Rhodococcus sp. AJ270 microbial cells are strongly governed by the nature of gein-disubstituents on the cyclopropane ring; the amidase generally exhibits steric dependence on the substituents while both the steric and electronic factors of the substituents may affect the action of the nitrile hydratase. The match of steric bulkiness of the substituents at 2- with that at 3-positions on the cyclopropane ring benefits the efficient and highly enantioselective reaction. Coupled with facile chemical transformations, biocatalytic transformations of nitrile and amide supply an effective synthesis of optically active 2,2-disubstitued-3-phenylcyclopropanecarboxylic acid and amide in both enantiomeric forms.

Enantioselectivereduction of cyclopropenyl esters and ketones to optically active cyclopropanes has been achieved by using whole-cell-overexpressing ene-reductases (EREDs). By using these enzymes, trans-cyclopropanes were isolated in good yield and high enantiomeric excess. A wide range of optically active cyclopropane esters and ketones were obtained, and a variety of substituent patterns on the
