The enantiomeric purity of N-methylamino acids and their derivatives obtained by various procedures has been examined by analysis with an amino-acid analyzer of the diastereomeric lysyl dipeptides formed by coupling them with a lysyl derivative. N-Benzyloxycarbonyl, and N-tert-butyloxycarbonyl,N-methylamino acids obtained by methylation of the parent derivative using sodium hydride and methyl iodide, and N-methylamino acids obtained by methylation of the p-toluenesulfonylamino acid followed by treatment with sodium in liquid ammonia, are optically pure. Compounds obtained by other procedures which include reductive alkylations or the use of silver oxide – methyl iodide are generally not optically pure.

Reaction of ethyl (R)-oxiranecarboxylate (2a) with various nucleobases (adenine, 6-chloropurine, thymine, cytosine, N6-benzoyladenine, 4-methoxy-5-methylpyrimidin-2(1H)-one and 4-methoxypyrimidin-2(1H)-one) afforded ethyl 3-substituted-2-hydroxypropanoates 4-10. Enantioselectivity of this reaction is dependent on the type of the base: 6-chloropurine, N6-benzoyladenine, 4-methoxy-5-methylpyrimidin-2(1H)-one, thymine and cytosine gave optically pure R enantiomers. In other cases, partial or complete racemization occurred. Optically pure ethyl (R)-3-(6-chloropurin-9-yl)-2-hydroxypropanoate (5a) was hydrolyzed to give (R)-3-(6-chloropurin-9-yl)-2-hydroxypropanoic acid (11). Reactions of 11 with various primary or secondary amines led to N6-substituted (R)-3-(adenin-9-yl)-2-hydroxypropanoic acids 14-19. Enantiomeric purity was determined from 1H NMR spectra measured in the presence of (-)-(R)-1-(9-anthryl)-2,2,2-trifluoroethan-1-ol.

Bakers' yeast reduces 1-phenyl-1,3-butanedione with high chemo- and enantio-selectivity to give (S)-(+)-3-hydroxy-1-phenyl-1-butanone. The enantiomeric purity (> 98%) was determined by nmr analysis using a chiral shift reagent and the absolute configuration was determined by correlation with ethyl (S)-(+)-3-hydroxybutyrate.

<div> <div> <div> <p>“Peptoids” was proposed, over decades ago, as a term describing analogs of peptides that exhibit better physicochemical and pharmacokinetic properties than peptides. Oligo-(N-substituted glycines) (oligo-NSG) was previously proposed as a peptoid due to its high proteolytic resistance and membrane permeability. However, oligo-NSG is conformationally flexible and is difficult to achieve a defined shape in water. This conformational flexibility is severely limiting biological application of oligo-NSG. Here, we propose oligo-(N-substituted alanines) (oligo-NSA) as a new peptoid that forms a defined shape in water. A synthetic method established in this study enabled the first isolation and conformational study of optically pure oligo-NSA. Computational simulations, crystallographic studies and spectroscopic analysis demonstrated the well-defined extended shape of oligo-NSA realized by backbone steric effects. The new class of peptoid achieves the constrained conformation without any assistance of N-substituents and serves as an ideal scaffold for displaying functional groups in well-defined three-dimensional space, which leads to effective biomolecular recognition. </p> </div> </div> </div>

The enantioselective synthesis of organic compounds is one of the great challenges in organic synthetic chemistry due to its importance for the acquisition of biologically active derivatives, e.g., pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and others. This is why biological systems are increasingly applied as tools for chiral compounds synthesis or modification. The use of whole cells of “wild-type” microorganisms is one possible approach, especially as some methods allow improving the conversion degrees and controlling the stereoselectivity of the reaction without the need to introduce changes at the genetic level. Simple manipulation of the culture conditions, the form of a biocatalyst, or the appropriate composition of the biotransformation medium makes it possible to obtain optically pure products in a cheap, safe, and environmentally friendly manner. This review contains selected examples of the influence of physicochemical factors on the stereochemistry of the biocatalytic preparation of enantiomerically pure compounds, which is undertaken through kinetically controlled separation of their racemic mixtures or reduction of prochiral ketones and has an effect on the final enantiomeric purity and enantioselectivity of the reaction.
