Synthesis of 4-Sulfur-Substituted (2S,3R)-3-Phenylserines by Enzymatic Resolution. Enantiopure Precursors for Thiamphenicol and Florfenicol

Abstract: Enantiomerically pure 4-methylthio- and 4-methylsulfonyl-substituted (2S,3R)-3-phenylserines are prepared by enzymatic resolution of the corresponding racemic threo amides using the amidase from Ochrobactrum anthropi NCIMB 40321. The unwanted (2R,3S) enantiomers of the amides are separated from the enantiopure amino acids and easily racemized after Schiff base formation with the corresponding 4-(methylthio)- and 4-(methylsulfonyl)benzaldehyde. The racemization can be combined with the preparation of the racemi… Show more

“…It is worthy to note that, regardless of medicinal importance of sulfones much attention has earlier been paid towards chemoselective oxidation of sulfides to sulfoxides and the protocols developed for the same have been extended towards the synthesis of sulfones. Nitric acid [122], KMnO4 [123], bromine [124], NaOCl [125], ozone [126], peracids [127][128][129], t-BuOOH [130] are few of the oxidants used in early days. Few reports are also available on the use of magnesium monoperoxyphthalate (MMPP) [131] and polyvalent [132] and hypervalent iodine compounds [133][134][135].…”

“…Simply by performing the hydrolysis reaction at slightly acidic conditions the solubility of the amide substrates increases due to the presence of the protonizable amino group. This feature has been employed in the resolution of the racemic threophenylserine amides 103a/b, which are intermediates in a novel route to the antibiotics thiamphenicol (104a) and florfenicol (104b), of which only the (1R,2R)-enantiomers display the required biological activity [304]. In this case, the O. anthropi amidase-catalyzed resolution reaction was performed at pH 5.6-6.0 to ensure a fair solubility of the otherwise insoluble amides.…”

“…The (2S,3R)-phenylserines were obtained in >99% e.e. and chemical yields up to 50% [304]. Another example can be found in the preparation of (S)-a-methyl-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)alanine (105) from the corresponding racemic amide.…”

“…The enzymatic resolution of the corresponding racemic amide runs at a substrate input of 20 g/L and gave the desired α -amino acid in 41% yield and with 99.4% ee. Furthermore, biocatalytic resolution of α -amino acids bearing two stereogenic centers has been done by means of amidases, and was applied, for example, for the synthesis of an intermediate of the pharmaceutically important antibiotics fl orfenicol and thiamphenicol [101] . An α -amino -ε -caprolactam racemase turned out to be suitable for the racemization of a broad range of acyclic amides besides caprolactam.…”
