Abstract

For the purpose of preparation of optically active aminoalcohol congeners possessing both hydroxyl- and dialkylamino-substituted vicinal chiral carbons, lipase-assisted acylation of methyl (2E,4R*,5S*)-4-(N-benzyl-N-methyl)amino-5-hydroxyhex-2-enoate (4) using CAL-B with vinyl hexanoate as an acyl donor was carried out to give (4S,5R)-hexenoate (7) (44%, 99.2% ee) as the reaction product and (4R,5S)-alcohol (4) (46%, 98.2% ee) as the unreacted starting material. The E-value of the present lipase-assisted resolution was estimated to be more than 1000. Thus obtained acylated product was successfully converted into methyl β-d-vicenisaminide (12).
