摘要:
A practical process for easily or industrially advantageously producing from an easily available inexpensive material an optically active α-substituted cysteine or salt thereof useful as an intermediate for medicines, etc. The process, which is for producing an optically active α-substituted cysteine or salt thereof, comprises converting a cysteine derivative into a thiazoline compound, subjecting the compound to a stereoselective substituent-introducing reaction with the aid of an optically active quaternary ammonium salt, especially an axially asymmetric quaternary ammonium salt, as a catalyst to thereby obtain an optically active thiazoline compound, and hydrolyzing it.
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:
Efficient and economical processes for producing azetidine-2-carboxylic acid and intermediates thereof on an industrial scale. Azetidine-2-carboxylic acid of structural formula (5) is produced by reducing a 4-oxo-2-azetidinecarboxylic acid derivative of general formula (1) to form azetidine-2-methanol of structural formula (2), treating this compound with an amino-protecting agent to form an N-protected azetidine-2-methanol of general formula (3), treating this compound with an oxidizing agent to form an N-protected azetidine-2-carboxylic acid of general formula (4), and removing the amino-protecting group.
摘要:
A process for efficiently producing (S,S)-2-alkoxycyclohexanols in a single step by using (+/-)-trans-2-alkoxycyclohexanols which are inexpensive and can be easily obtained. The process comprises treating a (+/-)-trans-2-alkoxycyclohexanol with a hydrolase originating in a microorganism and being capable of esterifying stereospecifically the R-isomer in the presence of an acyl donor under such conditions that no hydrolysis occurs substantially to thereby give (S,S)-2-alkoxycyclohexanols and (R,R)-2-alkoxycyclohexanol carboxylates and then taking up the (S,S)-2-alkoxycyclohexanols.
摘要:
To efficiently produce an (R)-2-hydroxy-1-phenoxypropane derivative which is useful as a drug intermediate at a high optical purity, a phenoxyacetone derivative is R-selectively reduced by using a carbonyl reductase originating in candida, or an optionally processed culture medium of a microorganism capable of producing the above enzyme.
摘要:
A process for efficiently producing L-allysine acetals in short steps, which comprises reacting a D,L-allysine acetal of general formula: (1) (wherein R and R are the same or different from each other and each represents an alkyl group of 1 to 8 carbon atoms, or R and R together form a ring to represent an alkylene group having 2 to 8 carbon atoms) in the presence of an enzyme having the activity for sterically selectively and oxidatively deaminating D-amino acids to convert the D,L-allysine acetal into a mixture of a 2-oxo-6,6-dialkoxyhexanoic acid of general formula (2) (wherein R and R are each as defined above) with an L-allysine acetal of general formula (3) (wherein R and R are each as defined above) and then recovering the L-allysine acetal.
摘要:
A process whereby 6-cyanomethyl-1,3-dioxane-4-acetic acid derivatives, which are important intermediates of an HMG coenzyme A reductase atorvastatin, can be industrially, easily and efficiently produced. This process comprises starting with a 3,5-dihydroxy-6-halohexane derivative, treating it with a cyaniding agent to thereby substitute the halogen atom with the cyano group (i.e., a cyanation reaction) and forming an acetal of a diol by using an acetal-forming agent in the presence of an acid catalyst (i.e., an acetal-formation reaction).
摘要:
A process for stereoselectively reducing α-amino haloketone derivatives under mild conditions, which comprises reacting an α-amino haloketone derivative of general formula (1) with a compound prepared from an organoaluminum compound of general formula (4), a sulfonic acid derivative of the general formula (5): R6SO3H, and an alcohol compound of the general formula (6): R7OH to yield an α-amino alcohol derivative of general formula (7).
