摘要:
A process for the preparation of optically active 2-[6-(hydroxymethyl)-1,3-dioxan-4-yl]acetic acid derivatives, which comprises subjecting an enolate prepared by reacting an acetate ester derivative with either a base or a zero-valent metal to reaction with a hydroxybutyric acid derivative at -30 °C or above to thereby obtain a hydroxyoxohexanoic acid derivative, reducing this hydroxyoxohexanoic acid derivative with a microorganism into a dihydroxyhexanoic acid derivative, treating this dihydroxyhexanoic acid derivative with an acetal-forming reactant in the presence of an acid to thereby obtain a halomethyldioxanylacetic acid derivative, acyloxylating this halomethyldioxanylacetic acid derivative with an acyloxylating agent into an acyloxymethyldioxanylacetic acid derivative, and subjecting this acyloxymethyldioxanylacetic acid derivative to solvolysis in the presence of a base.
摘要:
A process for producing cysteine derivatives having especially high optical purities economically advantageously at a high production efficiency even on an industrial scale. The process for producing cysteine derivatives represented by general formula (III) (wherein R0 represents hydrogen or an amino-protecting group like R1; R1 represents an amino-protecting group; R2 represents a carboxyl-protecting group; and R3 represents C¿1-7? alkyl, C6-10 aryl, or C7-10 aralkyl) is one which comprises reacting an amino acid derivative represented by general formula (I) (wherein R?1, R0, and R2¿ are each as defined above; and X represents a leaving group) with a thiol compound represented by general formula (II) (wherein R3 is as defined above), wherein the reaction is conducted in an organic raction medium in the presence of a base and water.
摘要:
A process for efficiently, easily, and industrially advantageously producing an optically active azetidine-2- carboxylic acid which is important as a material for medicines. The process comprises halogenating an optically active N-protected 4-amino-2-hydroxybutyric acid while inverting the configuration to form an optically active N-protected 4-amino-2-halogenobutyryl halide, subsequently subjecting the halide to hydrolysis and elimination of the amino-protecting group to form an optically active 4-amino-2-halogenobutyric acid, and then subjecting the resultant acid to cyclization and amino group protection in an alkaline aqueous solution to produce an optically active N-protected azetidine-2-carboxylic acid. Also provided is an optically active N-protected 4-amino-2-halogenobutyryl halide represented by the following formula (2), which is useful for producing an optically active azetidine-2-carboxylic acid. (2) (In the formula, P represents a group protecting the primary amino group; * indicates that the carbon atom is asymmetric; and X and Y each independently represents halogeno.)
摘要:
A process whereby optically active cysteine derivatives having a high optical purity and excellent qualities can be economically advantageously produced at a high efficiently even on an industrial scale. This process comprises reacting an optically active amino acid derivative in the D- or L-form represented by general formula (1): (wherein R1 represents an amino-protective group of the urethane or acyl type; R0 represents hydrogen or R?0 and R1¿ together form an amino-protective group; R2 represents alkyl, aryl or aralkyl; and * represents the location of an asymmetric carbon atom) with an alcohol represented by general formula (3): R3-OH (wherein R3 represents a monovalent organic group), a strong acid and/or a thionyl halide to thereby synthesize an optically active cysteine derivative in the D- or L-form represented by general formula (2), and then recovering the cysteine derivative from the liquid reaction mixture, wherein the successive procedures from the reaction to the recovery are effected under such conditions that n a medium being in contact with the cysteine derivative is an acidic to weakly basic one, thereby recovering the optically active cysteine derivative from the liquid reaction mixture while inhibiting the degradation and racemization of the derivative.
