An Enantio- and Diastereoselective Chemoenzymatic Synthesis of ?-Fluoro ?-Hydroxy Carboxylic Esters.


ABSTRACT: The trans-o-hydroxybenzylidene pyruvate aldolase-catalysed reactions between fluoropyruvate and many (hetero)aromatic aldehydes yield aldol adducts without subsequent dehydration. Treatment of the reaction products with hydrogen peroxide yields the corresponding syn-configured ?-fluoro ?-hydroxy carboxylic acids which have >98?% ee. The overall chemoenzymatic approach, in which fluoropyruvate serves as a fluoroacetate equivalent, may be exploited in the synthesis of polar building blocks and fragments with potential value in drug discovery.
