Abstract
A highly trans-diastereoselective synthesis of the useful synthon tert-butyl(3-hydroxy-2,2,4,4-tetramethylcyclobutyl)carbamate was accomplished by ketoreductase (KRED) catalysis with ∼98:2 dr. Herein, we describe its development from inexpensive 2,2,4,4-tetramethylcyclobutane-1,3-dione, evolving from a poorly selective and stoichiometric oxime reduction to an efficient sequence of chemo- and biocatalytic reactions. The utility of this process, which also resulted in a 10-fold improvement in process mass intensity (PMI), was demonstrated on scale en route to a fragment of the investigational androgen receptor degrader GDC-2992.
期刊介绍:
Organic Letters invites original reports of fundamental research in all branches of the theory and practice of organic, physical organic, organometallic,medicinal, and bioorganic chemistry. Organic Letters provides rapid disclosure of the key elements of significant studies that are of interest to a large portion of the organic community. In selecting manuscripts for publication, the Editors place emphasis on the originality, quality and wide interest of the work. Authors should provide enough background information to place the new disclosure in context and to justify the rapid publication format. Back-to-back Letters will be considered. Full details should be reserved for an Article, which should appear in due course.
