Biocatalytic approach to enantiomerically pure β-amino acids

TL;DR: β-Aryl-β-amino acids were prepared in good chemical yield and high enantiomeric purity via penicillin acylase-catalyzed hydrolysis of the corresponding N-phenylacetyl derivatives by using very simple set of reacting chemicals and enzyme.
Journal ArticleDOI

Substrate specificity of penicillin amidase from E. coli

TL;DR: Despite the favourable thermodynamic conditions for the production of all beta-lactam antibiotics, low reaction rate is the basic hindrance for enzymatic synthesis of penicillins and cephalosporins having a free amino group in the acyl moiety.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biomimetic Transamination of α-Alkyl β-Keto Carboxylic Esters. Chemoenzymatic Approach to the Stereochemically Defined α-Alkyl β-Fluoroalkyl β-Amino Acids

TL;DR: Biomimetic transamination of the commercially available ethyl 2-methyl-3-keto-4, 4,4,4-trifluorobutyrate (4) with benzylamine was shown to provide a simple access to the 2 methyl 3-amino-4.4,
Journal ArticleDOI

Biocatalytic resolution of β-fluoroalkyl-β-amino acids

TL;DR: In this article, N -Phenylacetyl derivatives of β-fluoroalkyl-β-alanines were synthesized and biocatalytically resolved to the corresponding enantiopure β-amino acids 7,9 with the aid of penicillin acylase (EC 3.5.1.11) from Escherichia coli.
