General description

3,4-Dimethoxyphenylacetone undergoes asymmetric amination catalyzed by Brevibacterium linens IFO 12141 strain to yield corresponding optically active amine.

Application

3,4-Dimethoxyphenylacetone was used as starting material in the synthesis of α-methyl-dopa, an important nonproteogenic α-amino acid for pharmaceutical applications.

[reaction: see text]. Diastereoselective Strecker reactions based on (R)-phenylglycine amide as chiral auxiliary are reported. The Strecker reaction is accompanied by an in situ crystallization-induced asymmetric transformation, whereby one diastereomer selectively precipitates and can be isolated in 76-93% yield and
