Book Chirality from Dynamic Kinetic Resolution

Download or read book Chirality from Dynamic Kinetic Resolution written by Hélène Pellissier and published by Royal Society of Chemistry. This book was released on 2011 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The last 15 years have witnessed significant developments in the efficiency and scope of the application of DKR. These now offer a serious alternative to conventional methods for asymmetric synthesis. Indeed, impressive examples using new enzymes and major progress in the DKR of racemates have taken place over the past few years. The powerful combination of enzymes and metals has also been the subject of spectacular development. In addition, a new type of DKR, involving organocatalysts, has recently appeared. Although asymmetric catalysis has undergone development during the last two decades, the most common industrial process used to obtain enantiomerically pure compounds is still via resolution of racemic mixtures. This is despite the major disadvantage that only a maximum of 50% product yield can be obtained. It is not surprising that DKR, which solves the problem of the limitation in yield, has attracted an increasing amount of interest from both the industrial and the academic perspective. This book provides an up-date on the principle methods employed to obtain dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR) by either enzymatic or non-enzymatic methods. It also illustrates the diversity of useful chiral products that can be obtained through this powerful concept. Divided into three sections, the book deals successively with non-enzymatic methods, enzymatic methods, and the use of transition metals and enzymes in tandem.

This is quite simply the best book of its type and can be unreservedly recommended to organic chemists who have an interest in using hydrolytic enzymes in synthesis." (Nicholas J. Turner, University of Edinburgh) "The book is an indispensable source of information on the use of hydrolases in organic synthesis. The subject matter is very well set out, and the chapters are clearly written and presented from a critical viewpoint. Bornscheuer and Kazlauskas have succeeded admirably in describing the capabilities and limitations of the use of hydrolytic enzymes and in critically evaluating them. No library should be without the book." (Fritz Theil, WITEGA Angewandte Werkstoff-Forschung GmbH, Berlin) The second edition of this extremely successful and well-proven book presents recent developments in the use of hydrolases for organic synthesis, reflecting in particular the enormous progress made in enzyme discovery and optimization with a new chapter on "Protein Sources and Optimization of Biocatalyst Performance". The renowned authors survey the stereoselective reactions of hydrolases, especially lipases, esterases and proteases, giving researchers an overview of what has worked in the past so that they can judge how to solve their own synthetic problems. In total, the book contains over one thousand chemical structures, rounded off by some 1,800 invaluable references.

Book Enantiomer Separation

    Book Details:
  • Author : Fumio Toda
  • Publisher : Springer Science & Business Media
  • Release : 2007-11-04
  • ISBN : 1402023375
  • Pages : 334 pages

Download or read book Enantiomer Separation written by Fumio Toda and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2007-11-04 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In spite of important advances in asymmetric synthesis, chiral compounds cannot all be obtained in a pure state by asymmetric synthesis. As a result, enantiomer separation remains an important technique for obtaining optically active materials. Although asymmetric synthesis is a once-only procedure, an enantiomer separation process can be repeated until the optically pure sample is obtained. This book discusses several new enantiomer separation methods using modern techniques developed by experts in the field. These methods consist mainly of the following three types: 1) Enantiomer separation by inclusion complexation with a chiral host compound 2) Enantiomer separation using biological methods 3) Enantiomer separation by HPLC chromatography using a column containing a chiral stationary phase. Separation of a racemic compound has been called “optical resolution” or simply “resolution”. Nowadays, the descriptions “enantiomer resolution” or “enantiomer separation” are also commonly used. Accordingly, “Enantiomer Separation” is used in the title of this book. The editor and all chapter contributors hope that this book is helpful for scientists and engineers working in this field.

Book Dynamic Kinetic Resolution  DKR  and Dynamic Kinetic Asymmetric Transformations  DYKAT

Download or read book Dynamic Kinetic Resolution DKR and Dynamic Kinetic Asymmetric Transformations DYKAT written by Jan-E. Bäckvall and published by Georg Thieme Verlag. This book was released on 2022-12-07 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Principles and applications of DKR and DYKAT DKR and DYKAT are of ever increasing importance in the synthesis of enantiomerically enriched compounds. The preparation of enantiomerically pure compounds is of great importance in society today, in particular in pharmaceutical chemistry and in the agrochemical sector. Kinetic resolution is a popular method for differentiating two enantiomers in a racemic mixture that react at different rates with a chiral catalyst or reagent. The drawback of kinetic resolution is that the yield of one pure enantiomer is limited to a maximum of 50%. To overcome this limitation, an in situ racemization of the starting material can be combined with a kinetic resolution. This combination leads to a so called “dynamic kinetic resolution” (DKR), where the two enantiomers are in equilibrium with one another. The slow-reacting enantiomer will continuously be converted into the fast-reacting one, when the latter is transformed into the enantiomerically pure product. Thus, a racemic starting material can be transformed in catalytic processes into a single isomer of a chiral compound in up to 100% yield. DKR only applies to the resolution of racemic mixtures and the involvement of enantiomers leads to simple kinetics. When diastereomers, either as starting materials or as diastereomeric intermediates, are involved in the resolution process under dynamic conditions (via equilibria between diastereomers), the kinetics is different from DKR. These reactions are classified as “dynamic kinetic asymmetric transformations” (DYKAT). This volume covers the principles of DKR and DYKAT and presents examples of organocatalytic, chemoenzymatic, and transition-metal catalyzed approaches, including applications in the synthesis of complex, biologically active compounds.
