Acylated Morita-Baylis-Hillman (MBH) adducts were synthesised and subjected to enzymatic kinetic resolution (EKR) by hydrolysis employing various lipase enzymes: from P. fluorescens, P. cepacia (PCL), C. antarctica A (CAL-A), C. antarctica B (CAL-B) and Novozyme 435. In a number of instances enantiopure Morita-Baylis-Hillman acetates or butyrates and their corresponding hydrolysed MBH adducts were obtained with ee values of >90 %, at ca. 50 % conversion, corresponding to enantiomeric ratio (E) values of >200. Enantioselective transesterification reactions on MBH adducts was achieved using acyl anhydrides in THF or the greener organic solvent 2-MeTHF in the presence of CAL-A. This is the first report of successful lipase-catalysed EKR of aromatic MBH adducts by transesterification in organic medium.
酰化的 Morita-Baylis-Hillman (MBH) 加合物被合成,并通过水解用各种脂肪酶酶进行酶促动力学拆分 (EKR):来自荧光假单胞菌、假单胞菌 Cepacia (PCL)、南极假丝酵母 A (CAL-A)、南极假丝酵母 B (CAL-B) 和 Novozyme 435。在许多情况下,获得了对映体纯的 Morita-Baylis-Hillman 乙酸酯或丁酸酯及其相应的水解 MBH 加合物,ee 值>90%,转化率约为 50%,对应对映体过量值 (E) 值>200。使用酰基酐在 THF 或更环保的有机溶剂 2-MeTHF 中,在 CAL-A 的存在下,对 MBH 加合物进行对映选择性酯交换反应。这是首次报道在有机介质中通过酯交换成功地用脂肪酶催化芳香族 MBH 加合物的 EKR。
