Enantiodivergent Synthesis of Halofuginone by Candida antarctica Lipase B (CAL-B)-Catalyzed Kinetic Resolution in Cyclopentyl Methyl Ether (CPME)
This research was supported by Huvepharma® Italia and by the University of Florence.
Abstract
The synthesis of both enantiomers of a key intermediate in the synthesis of halofuginone was accomplished by a Candida antarctica lipase B (CAL-B)-catalyzed kinetic resolution of the corresponding racemate. When the resolution was carried out in the versatile solvent cyclopentyl methyl ether (CPME) using p-chlorophenylbutyrate (PCPB) as the acylating reagent, the highest enantiomeric ratio (E) values were measured, and highly enantioenriched (95% ee) compounds could be obtained in a single iteration. As an example, one of the two enantiomers was used as a starting material to prepare (+)-halofuginone in a three-step procedure.

- 26 The enantioselectivity in an enzymatic kinetic resolution process is expressed by the enantiomeric ratio E, which is the ratio between the specificity constants (kcat/KM) of the enzyme for the competing R and S enantiomers: E = (kcat/KM)R/(kcat/KM)S. E was calculated by using the formula E = ln[(1 - ees)/(1 + ees/eep)]/ln [(1 + ees)/(1 + ees/eep)]. See: Rakels JL. L, Straathof AJ. J, Heijnen J. Enzyme Microb. Technol. 1993; 15: 1051
