Me (2R,3S)-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)glycidate [(2R,3S)-MPGM] is an advanced chiral synthon for the synthesis of the cardiovascular drug diltiazem. It can be easily accessed by cyclizing the reduction products of Me 2-chloro-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-3-oxo-propanoate. Herein, we report an identified carbonyl reductase (CpKR) from Candida parapsilosis that displayed an excellent stereoselectivity toward the keto substituent at the C3-position of the 2-chloro-3-oxo-ester. The engineered Escherichia coli cells harboring CpKR gene were directly applied for the asym. reduction of keto ester 1a with a space-time yield of 46 g L-1 d-1, which represents the highest productivity in bio-reduction reported so far. The isolated chiral alc. products were then applied to the chem. synthesis of (2R,3S)-MPGM in 99% ee and a total yield of 76% in the two-step chemo-enzymic reactions, which far exceeded the maximum theor. yield (50%) of the existing industrial process based on a lipase-catalyzed resolution of racemic MPGM. This work provides a promising eco-friendly and cost-effective route toward industrial synthesis of pharmaceutically relevant diltiazem. This study involved multiple reactions and reactants, such as Ethyl 4-chloro-3-oxobutanoate (cas: 638-07-3Formula: C6H9ClO3).
Ethyl 4-chloro-3-oxobutanoate (cas: 638-07-3) belongs to organic chlorides. An organic chloride is an organic compound containing at least one covalently bonded atom of chlorine. Their wide structural variety and divergent chemical properties lead to a broad range of names and applications. The haloform reaction, using chlorine and sodium hydroxide, is also able to generate alkyl halides from methyl ketones, and related compounds. Chloroform was formerly produced thus.Formula: C6H9ClO3
