Application

  • The first example of a diastereoselective thio-Ugi reaction: a new synthetic approach to chiral imidazole derivatives.: This research presents a novel diastereoselective thio-Ugi reaction, enabling the synthesis of chiral imidazole derivatives, which are essential in asymmetric synthesis and pharmaceutical intermediates (Gulevich et al., 2007).
  • Synthesis and serotonin receptor affinities of a series of enantiomers of alpha-methyltryptamines: evidence for the binding conformation of tryptamines at serotonin 5-HT1B receptors.: This study investigates the synthesis and serotonin receptor affinities of alpha-methyltryptamine enantiomers, contributing to the understanding of chiral compounds in medicinal chemistry (Nichols et al., 1988).

The enantiomeric lactams (-)-8, (+)-8, (+)-9, and (-)-9 were formed by the reaction of the dimeric phthalide rac-tokinolide B (rac-3) with (R)-(+)-α-methylbenzylamine and (S)-(-)-α-methylbenzylamine. The absolute configurations of compounds 8 and 9 were assigned by experimental and theoretically calculated electronic

Enantiomerically pure (R)-(+)-pipecolic acid was synthesized in four steps and 42% overall yield starting from dihydropyran and (R)-alpha-methylbenzylamine. A general short strategy is also described for preparing (S)-proline (47.5% overall yield) and derivatives.

A short, convenient, gram scale protocol has been established to allow facile access to all four stereoisomers of 2-aminocyclobutanecarboxylic acid, each in enantiomerically pure form (ee >99%). Starting from the readily available cis racemate, the procedure combines efficient alpha-phenylethylamine derivative

Enzyme immobilization often improves process economics, but changes in kinetic properties may also occur. The immobilization of a recombinant thermostable (S)-aminotransferase was made by entrapment on calcium alginate-3% (w/v)-and tested with (S)-(-)-(alpha)-methylbenzylamine for acetophenone production. The best immobilization results were
