摘要:
The present invention relates to enzymatic oligopeptide synthesis in the N→C direction, in particular to a process for the preparation of an optionally N-protected oligopeptide C-terminal alkylester comprising the step of reacting the corresponding optionally N-protected oligopeptide C-terminal carboxyamide with an alkyl alcohol, preferably methanol, in the presence of a peptide amidase. The formed C-terminal alkylester can subsequently be used for the coupling with another amino acid residue or oligopeptide. Therefore, inventors have found a very advantageous process for the preparation of oligopeptides.

The invention relates to an enantiomerically enriched chiral compound comprising a transition metal M, which comprises four, five or six coordinating groups of which at least one pair is linked together to form a bidentate ligand, in which M is directly bound via one single σ-bond to a carbon atom of an optionally substituted and/or optionally fused (hetero)aromatic ring of said bidentate ligand and in which M is directly bound to a nitrogen atom of a primary or secondary amino group of said bidentate ligand, thereby forming a metallacycle between said bidentate ligand and the metal M, said metal M being selected from the metals of groups 8 and 9 of the Periodic Table of the Elements, in particular iron, ruthenium, osmium, cobalt, rhodium, or iridium. The chiral compound can be used as a catalyst, preferably in an asymmetric transfer hydrogenation process. The invention further relates to a process for an asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of a prochiral compound in the presence of a hydrogen donor and the chiral compound of the invention comprising a transition metal chosen from the metals of groups 8, 9 and 10 of the Periodic Table, in particular iron, ruthenium, osmium, cobalt, rhodium, iridium, nickel, palladium or platinum as the catalyst.
摘要:
Process for the preparation of an alkynol with formula HC≡C—CH(OH)—R2(formula 2) wherein R2 represents methyl, halomethyl or ethyl, wherein the corresponding silyl-protected alkynol ester with formula 1 wherein R1 represents H, or an optionally substituted alkyl, an optionally substituted alkenyl or an optionally substituted (hetero)aryl group, R2 is as defined above and A3Si represents a trisubstituted silyl group wherein each A independently represents an optionally substituted alkyl or an optionally substituted (hetero)aryl group, in the presence of water and at least an equivalent amount of amine functionalities is converted into the alkynol with formula 2. Preferably, the amount of water is between 0.5 and 3 equivalents calculated with respect to the amount of silyl-protected alkynol ester with formula (1).
