Definitions

  • the invention relates to a ner process for the preparation of (R) - and (S) -8-chloro-6-hydroxy-octanoic acid alkyl esters of the formula I by enzymatic reduction of a suitable prochiral keto compound.
  • R alkyl
  • the -liponic acid is synthesized on an industrial scale starting from 8-chloro-6-oxo-octanoic acid alkyl esters, which are converted into 8-chloro-6-hydroxy-octanoic acid alkyl ester by ⁇ aBH 4 reduction (Lit .: Kleemann and Engel, Pharmaceutical Substances, 3rd Ed., Thieme, 1999, page 1860).
  • the racemic ⁇ -lipoic acid is obtained in high overall yield by a subsequent three-step synthesis sequence.
  • the synthesis of the pure enantiomers for targeted pharmaceutical use is also of great importance (see, for example, EP 04 27 247).
  • the object of the invention was therefore to provide a process for the production of certain intermediates for the production of the (R) - and (S) - ⁇ -lipoic acid and the (R) - and (S) - ⁇ -lipoic acid itself, which is a production of these Compounds and intermediates with high yield and high enantiomeric purity possible.
  • This object is achieved in that 8-chloro-6-oxo-octanoic acid alkyl ester is reduced enzymatically by means of alcohol dehydrogenases or carbonyl reductases. In this reaction, either the (R) or (S) -8-chloro-6-hydroxy-octanoic acid alkyl ester of the formula (R) -LT or (S) -LT specified in the claim is obtained.
  • the invention is based on the knowledge that the starting ester used can be reduced in a simple and very effective manner by means of known alcohol dehydrogenases or carbonyl reductases.
  • dehydrogenases could be suitable for the synthesis of chiral compounds (see, inter alia, Kragl and Kula, in Stereoselective Biotransformations, editors R. Patel, Marcel Dekker, 2000, pages 839-866.)
  • the general Statements from this and similar literature references cannot, however, be transferred to complex starting compounds.
  • a person skilled in the art regularly fears side reactions and a reduced enantioselectivity.
  • J. Org. Chem. 66, 8682-84 shows that an 8-chloro-3-hydroxyoxanoic acid alkyl ester can be obtained by reduction from the corresponding ketone with purified carbonyl reductase and whole cells.
  • EP 0 939 132 AI discloses an enzymatic reduction of 4-halogen-3-ketobutyric acid esters.
  • J. Org. Chem. 63, 1102-08 (1998) describes the reduction of ethyl 3-chloro-4-keto-octanoate. From EP 0 487 986 A2 is known to obtain (3S) -3-hydroxyoctanedioic acid diester for the production of lipoic acid by reduction with baker's yeast.
  • the invention is specified in claim 1 and further dependent claims.
  • generally known cofactors are used, such as NAD (H), NADP (H), FADH.
  • NAD (H) or NADP (H) is preferably used.
  • the configuration of the 8-chloro-6-hydroxy-octanoic acid alkyl ester obtained is determined by the enzyme used.
  • enantiomerically pure (R) -8-chloro-6-hydroxy-octanoic acid alkyl esters are obtained.
  • the prochiral-8-chloro-6-oxo-octanoic acid alkyl esters can be obtained in a known manner (L.J. Reed et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1955, 774, 416).
  • cofactor regeneration systems which bring about a shift in the equilibrium of the main reaction have proven to be particularly advantageous.
  • substrate-coupled cofactor regeneration can advantageously take place in the presence of an excess of a secondary alcohol (for example 2-propanol).
  • enzyme-linked cofactor regeneration systems e.g. formate dehydrogenase
  • FDH NAD- and NADP-dependent formate dehydrogenases
  • the absolute configuration of the optical isomers of the 8-chloro-6-hydroxy-octanoic acid alkyl esters of the formula I was determined by comparing the signs of the specific optical rotation values with literature data (Gewald et al., DE 195 33 881). Furthermore, the relative contents of the optical isomers of the 8-chloro-6-hydroxy-octanoic acid alkyl esters of the formula I were determined by GC on columns with a chiral phase with a detection limit of ⁇ 0.5%.
  • the present invention enables the (R) - and (S) -8-chloro-6-hydroxy-octanoic acid alkyl esters of the formula I in a simple and economical manner in high chemical and optical yield (theoretically 100% chemical and optical yield) accessible in a one-step process.
  • the invention also relates to the use of the enantiomerically pure octanoic acid alkyl esters obtained in the process according to the invention for the production of (R) - or (S) - ⁇ -lipoic acid in a manner known per se.
  • the chlorohydroxyctanoic acid alkyl esters are usually converted into the corresponding dichloroctanoic acid alkyl esters.
  • the known lipoic acid structure is then obtained in a further reaction step by introducing sulfur.
  • (S) -8-chloro-6-hydroxy-octanoic acid alkyl esters can be obtained by using, for example, Lactobacillus brevis alcohol dehydrogenase as the biocatalyst.
  • the synthesis of (+) - and (-) - ⁇ -lipoic acids starting from (+) - and (-) - 8-chloro-6-hydroxy-octanoic acid alkyl esters can be carried out in accordance with the known methods of Ner. The invention is illustrated by the following example.
