Description

(54) PROCESS FOR PRODUCING OPTICALLY ACTIVE a-HYDROXYCARBOXYLIC ACID ESTER (71) We, (ZAIDANHOJIN) SAGAMI CHEMICAL RESEARCH CENTER, a Japanese Company of No. 4-5, Marunouchi l-chome, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, Japan do hereby declare the invention, for which we pray that a patent may be granted to us and the method by which it is to be performed, to be particularly described in and by the following statement:- The present invention relates to a process for producing an optically active ahydroxycarboxylic acid ester.
The optically active a-hydroxycarboxylic acid esters to which this invention relates are physiologically active compounds which occur naturally and include lactic acid esters, mandelic acid esters and pantoyl lactones.
It is well known that optically active D-(-)-pantoyl lactone is an important intermediate for producing pantothenic acid, pantotheine and Coenzyme A.
Calcium pantothenate has been produced on an industrial scale as a member of a vitamin complex. Pantothenic acid is a component of Coenzyme A and has coenzymatic activity. Pantothenyl alcohol and pantothenyl ethyl ether, which are derivatives of pantothenic acid, have also been produced on an industrial scale.
Calcium pantothenate can be produced by reacting pantolactone with the calcium salt of p-alanine without a racemization (E. H. Wilson, J. Weijlard and M.
Tishler, J. Amer. Chem. Soc., 76 5177 (1954)). In this process it is important to ensure that D-(-)-pantoyl lactone is produced. In the cases of the production of pantotheine, pantothenyl alcohol and pantothenyl ethyl ether, the problem of correct optical configuration is also important.
The products of the present invention are important as intermediates for the synthesis of amino acids and derivatives thereof.
Heretofore, it has been known to produce the optically active ahydroxycarboxylic acid ester from a-ketocarboxylic acid ester by hydrogenation in the presence of a catalyst, for which two methods are as follows: 1) Hydrogenation of an optically active a-ketocarboxylic acid ester in the presence of a catalyst (A. McKenzie, J. Chem. Soc., 87, 1373 (1905); Mitsui and Kanai J. Japanese Chem. Soc., 87, 179 (1966)).
2) Asymmetric hydrogenation in the presence of a rhodium complex having an optically active phosphine ligand containing a ferrocenyl group (Mise, Hayashi and Kumada Chem. Soc. Japan, 35th Annual Meeting Abstract lK-20 (1976)).
However, in the conventional method 1), an optically active compound is itself required as the starting material in the asymmetric synthesis whereas in the present invention only a catalytic amount of the optically active compound is used to obtain the desired compound. Accordingly, the conventional method 1) is disadvantageous in principle.
In the conventional method 2) the optically active phosphine is a compound having complicated structure and metal component, which is not easily produced because the synthesis includes an optical resolution and the optical yield is low.
Heretofore, D-(-)-pantoyl lactone has been produced by an optical resolution of racemic pantonyl lactone with e.g. quinine and ephedrine.
In this method, the maximum theoretical yield which can be obtained is 50%.
Since L-(+)-pantonyl lactone has no physiological activity, it has to be converted to racemic pantonyl lactone by a difficult racemization process since otherwise it is wasted.
The present invention provides a process for producing an optically active ahydroxycarboxylic acid ester which comprises an asymmetric hydrogenation of an a-ketocarboxylic acid ester in the presence of a rhodium complex with a phosphine ligand which is (a) a dioxolan having optically active carbon atoms at at least the 4and 5-positions and which has the formula
wherein the asterisk (*) represents an optically active position; R' to R4 each represents an alkyl, aralkyl or aryl group; and R5 and R6 each represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl, aryl, alkoxy, aminocarbonyl, carboxyl, carboxylic ester, cyano, alkylthio or arylthio group or R5 and R6 together complete a cycloalkylidene ring, or (b) a pyrrolidine having optically active positions at at least the 2- and 4-positions and which has the formula
wherein the asterisk (*) represents an optically active position; R1' to R4' each represents an alkyl or aryl group; R5' and R6' each represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl or aryl group and R7' represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl, aryl, carboxylic ester, amino, carboxyl or cyano group.
In this way it is possible to obtain an optically active a-hydroxycarboxylic acid ester having high optical purity in high yield in an industrial process.
Suitable a-ketocarboxylic acid esters used in the process of the present invention include pyruvic acid esters such as methyl pyruvate and n-propyl pyruvate; benzoylformic acid esters such as ethyl phenyl-glyoxylate and cyclohexyl phenylglyoxylate; alkyl a-ketocarboxylic acid esters such as methyl pentylglyoxylate and ethyl octylglyoxylate; cr-ketolactones such as a-keto-,6-dimethyl-y- butyrolactone.
The catalyst used in the process of the present invention is a rhodium complex with a phosphine ligand having an optically active substituent group. Suitable dioxolans having the formula (I) include (2R,3R)-2, 3-O-isopropylidene-2,3-di hydroxy- 1 ,4-bis(diphenylphosphino)butane and (2S,3S)-2,3-O-isopropylidene-2,3 dihydroxy- 1 ,4-bis(diphenylphosphino)butane; (2R,3R) or (2S,3S)-2,3-O-iso- propylidene-2,3-dihydroxy- 1 ,4-bis(dibenzylphosphino)butane; (2R,3R) or (2S,3S) 2,3-O-isopropylidene-2,3-dihydroxy- 1 ,4-bis(di-o-tolylphosphino)butane; (2R,3R) or (2S,3S)-2,3-O-isopropylidene-2,3-dihydroxy- 1 ,4-bis(di-m-tolylphosphino) butane; (2R,3R) or (2S,3S)-2,3-O-isopropylidene-2,3-dihydroxy-l ,4-bis(di-2,5-xylyl- phosphino)butane; (2R,3R) or (2S,3S)-2,3-O-benzylidene-2,3-dihydroxy-l ,4-bis(di- phenylphosphino)butane; (2R,3R) or (2S,3S)-2,3-O-cyclohexylidene-2,3-di hydroxy- I ,4-bis(diphenylphosphino)hutane; (2R,3R) or (2S,3S)-2,3-O-cyclo- pentylidene-2,3-dihydroxy-l ,4-bis(diphenylphosphino)butane and (2R,3R) or (2S,3S) - 2,3 - O - cyclohexylidene - 2,3 - dihydroxy - 1,4 - bis(cyclohexylphenyl phosphino)butane.
Suitable pyrrolidines having the formula (II) include (2S,4S)-N-t-butoxy carbonyl-4-diphenylphosphino-2-diphenylphosphinomethyl pyrrolidine and (2S,4S)4-diphenylphosphino-2-diphenylphosphinomethyl pyrrolidine.
In the process of the present invention, it is preferable to use a solvent.
Suitable solvents include aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzene, toluene and xylene; alcohols such as methanol and ethanol and ethers such as tetrahydrofuran, monoglyme; and mixtures thereof In the process of the present invention, the a-ketocarboxylic acid ester starting material is preferably dissolved in a solvent and the rhodium complex catalyst is added at a catalytic amount of 0.01 to 1.0 mole 0% and the reaction is carried out in hydrogen at a pressure of 1 to 50 atmospheres.
