Enzymatic kinetic resolution of piperidine atropisomers: synthesis of a key intermediate of the farnesyl protein transferase inhibitor, SCH66336.

The resolution of secondary amines via enzyme-catalyzed acylation is a relatively rare process. The kinetic resolution of a series of intermediates of SCH66336 (1), by either enzymatic acylation of the pendant piperidine (4, 5) or hydrolysis of the corresponding carbamate 3, was investigated. In the case of 4, the molecule exists as a pair of enantiomers due to atropisomerism about the exocyclic double bond. The enzymatic acylation of (+/-)-4 was optimized in terms of acylating agent, solvent, and moisture content. The use of lipase, Toyobo LIP-300, and trifluoroethyl isobutyrate as acylating agent resulted in isobutyrylation of the (+)-enantiomer, which is easily separated from the unwanted (-)-4. Hydrolysis of the isobutyramide 6c yielded the desired (+)-4 in high enantiomeric excess. (-)-4 may be recovered from the resolution step, racemized, and resubjected to enzymatic acylation to increase material throughput.[1]
