设计了一种新的方法用于(4R,6S)-6-羟甲基-2,2-二甲基-1,3-二氧六环-4-乙酸叔丁酯(9)的合成.以廉价、易得的消旋环氧氯丙烷为起始原料,经过缩合和环氧开环得到消旋的4-(4-甲基苯甲氧基)-3-羟基丁腈(3).在乙腈/正己烷(V∶V=1∶4)的混合溶剂中,脂肪酶Artgribactersp.催化转酯化拆分消旋3得到(S)-4-(4-甲基苯甲氧基)-3-羟基丁腈(4),ee值98%,收率47.0%.再经过羟基保护,与溴乙酸叔丁酯缩合得到(S)-6-(4-甲基苯甲氧基)-5-羟基-3-氧代已酸叔丁酯(6).三乙基硼手性诱导还原6得到(3R,5S)-6-对甲基苄氧基-3,5-二羟基已酸叔丁酯(7),de值97%.最后经过二羟基保护,催化加氢脱去对甲苄基得到目标产物9.
A new synthetic method for ((4R,6S)-6-hydroxymethyl-2,2-dimethyl-l,3-dioxinan-4-yl)-acetic acid tert-butyl ester was accomplished by a chemoenzymatic approach. Racemic 4-(4-methylbenzyloxy)-3- hydroxybutyronitrile (3) was firstly synthesized via condensation and epoxy opening reactions. (S)-4- (4-Methylbenzyloxy)-3-hydroxybutyronitrile (4) was obtained from resolution of racemic 3 by the lipase from Artgribacter sp. with a high enantiomeric excess (98% ee) in the mixture solvent of acetonitrile/hexane (V : V= 1 : 4). Dihydroxy ester 7 was synthesized by a syn-selecfive triethylborane mediated reduction with a de value of 97%. After acid-catalyzed protection of 7 and hydrogenolysis of the benzyl protecting group, the objective 9 was obtained with a high optical purity.
