Efficient asymmetric hydrogenation of the C–C double bond of 2-methyl- and 2,3-dimethyl-N-phenylalkylmaleimides by Aspergillus fumigatus

Eight N-phenylalkylmaleimides (four 2-methyl-N-phenylalkylmaleimides and four 2,3-dimethyl-N-phenylalkylmaleimides with an alkyl chain (CH2)n (n = 1–4) between the imide N and the benzene ring) were subjected to biotransformation using the fungal strain Aspergillus fumigatus ATCC 26934. All compound...

Sumario:Eight N-phenylalkylmaleimides (four 2-methyl-N-phenylalkylmaleimides and four 2,3-dimethyl-N-phenylalkylmaleimides with an alkyl chain (CH2)n (n = 1–4) between the imide N and the benzene ring) were subjected to biotransformation using the fungal strain Aspergillus fumigatus ATCC 26934. All compounds were reduced enantioselectively to their respective succinimides: (R)-2-methyl-N-phenylalkylsuccinimides and (2R,3R)-2,3-dimethyl-N-phenylalkylsuccinimides, with satisfactory conversion rates and high stereoisomeric excesses. NMR analysis using the chiral shift reagent Eu(hfc)3 showed that enantiomeric excesses were >99%.
