Candidaantarctica Lipase B mediated kinetic resolution: A sustainable method for chiral synthesis of antiproliferative β-lactams.
Biocatalysis is a valuable industrial approach in active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) manufacturing for asymmetric induction and synthesis of chiral APIs. Herein, we investigated synthesis of a panel of microtubule-destabilising antiproliferative β-lactam enantiomers employing a commercially avai...

Biocatalysis is a valuable industrial approach in active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) manufacturing for asymmetric induction and synthesis of chiral APIs. Herein, we investigated synthesis of a panel of microtubule-destabilising antiproliferative β-lactam enantiomers employing a commercially available immobilised Candida antarctica lipase B enzyme together with methanol and MTBE. The β-lactam ring remained intact during chiral kinetic resolution reactions, plausibly due to a bulky N-1 phenyl substituent on the β-lactam ring substrate. The predominant reaction mediated by CAL-B was methanol catalysed conversion of the β-lactam 3-acetoxy substituent to a 3-hydroxyl group, with preferential methanolysis of the 3S, 4S enantiomer.
