Abstract: | Chiral cycloalkane-trans-1,2-diols (+/-)-3 and (+/-)-8 having a diester moiety have been prepared from dimethyl dialkenylmalonate using olefin metathesis by Grubbs catalyst, followed by epoxidation and acidic hydrolysis. Kinetic resolution of racemic cyclopentane-trans-1,2-diol (+/-)-3 by lipase-catalyzed transesterification afforded an optically active monoacetate (-)-5 of 95% ee in 46% yield and the recovered diol (-)-3 of 92% ee in 51% yield, and that of cycloheptane-trans-1,2-diol (+/-)-8 gave a monoacetate (+)-10 of 95% ee in 51% yield and the diol (-)-8 of >99% ee in 43% yield, respectively. The enantiomer selectivity of racemic cyclic trans-1,2-diols bearing a diester moiety by lipases (Amano PS and Amano AK) was opposite to that of the reported simple racemic cycloalkane-trans-1,2-diols. To explain the lipase-catalyzed enantiomer selectivity, computer modeling of lipase-substrate complexes was performed. Furthermore, the optically active diester (-)-8 could be efficiently converted into an optically active seven-membered-ring alpha,alpha-disubstituted amino acid (4R,5R)-(-)-15. |
