TY - JOUR AB - A proof of concept for a novel approach towards enantiomerically highly enriched acyclic secondary amines and β-aminothiols as non-cyclic target molecules when starting from 3-thiazolines as heterocycles is presented. Starting from 2,2,4,5,5-pentamethyl-3-thiazoline, we demonstrated this chemoenzymatic pathway to both of these types of amine molecules, which were isolated as urea derivatives with a non-optimized yield of up to 20%. As a substrate, 2,2,4,5,5-pentamethyl-3-thiazolidine, which was obtained with an enantiomeric excess (ee) of 99% in a biotransformation from the corresponding 3-thiazoline according to a recently developed protocol, was used. For the reductive desulfurization of this substrate leading to a sulfur-free secondary amine, in situ formed Ni2B turned out to be a suitable reducing reagent. However, when using lithium aluminum hydride as a reducing agent, β-aminothiol was obtained DA - 2019 DO - 10.3390/chemistry1010012 KW - amines KW - β-aminothiols KW - Asinger chemistry KW - chemoenzymatic synthesis KW - heterocycles LA - eng IS - 1 M2 - 180 PY - 2019 SP - 180-191 T2 - Chemistry TI - Expanding the Scope of Asinger Chemistry towards Enantiomerically Pure Secondary Amines and β-Aminothiols through Chemoenzymatic Derivatization of 3-Thiazolines UR - https://nbn-resolving.org/urn:nbn:de:0070-pub-29384200 Y2 - 2024-11-22T16:39:21 ER -
