Sasaki, Ryosuke; Tanabe, Yoo published the artcile< Chiral synthesis of methyl (R)-2-Sulfanylcarboxylic esters and acids with optical purity determination using HPLC>, Name: (S)-Dimethyl 2-hydroxysuccinate, the main research area is sulfanylcarboxylic ester acid preparation enantioselective cyclocondensation; thiazolidinone preparation diastereoselective; 2-sulfanylmandelic ester; 2-sulfanylsuccinic ester; HPLC analysis; SN2 inversion; drug discovery; process chemistry; thiazolidin-4-one; thiolactic acid.
Accessible chiral synthesis of 3 types of (R)-2-sulfanylcarboxylic esters and acids were performed: (R)-2-sulfanylpropanoic (thiolactic) ester (53%, 98% ee) and acid (39%, 96% ee), (R)-2-sulfanylsuccinic diester (59%, 96% ee) and (R)-2-mandelic ester (78%, 90% ee) and acid (59%, 96% ee). The present practical and robust method involves (i) clean SN2 displacement of methanesulfonates of (S)-2-hydroxyesters by using com. available AcSK with tris(2-[2-methoxyethoxy]ethyl)amine and (ii) sufficiently mild deacetylation. The optical purity was determined by the corresponding (2R,5R)-trans-thiazolidin-4-one and (2S,5R)-cis-thiazolidin-4-one derivatives based on accurate high-performance liquid chromatog. anal. with high-resolution efficiency. The Ti(O-i-Pr)4 catalyst promoted smooth trans-cyclocondensation of (R)-2-sulfanylcarboxylic esters with available N-(benzylidene)methylamine to afford (2R,5R)-trans-thiazolidin-4-ones under neutral conditions without any racemization, whereas (2S,5R)-cis-thiazolidin-4-ones were obtained via cis-cyclocondensation and no catalysts. Direct high-performance liquid chromatog. of Me (R)-mandelate was also performed; however, the resolution efficiency was inferior to that of the thaizolidin-4-one derivatizations.
Chirality published new progress about Cyclocondensation reaction. 617-55-0 belongs to class esters-buliding-blocks, and the molecular formula is C6H10O5, Name: (S)-Dimethyl 2-hydroxysuccinate.
