title: Efficient chemoenzymatic synthesis of (S)- and (R)-5-(1-aminoethyl)-2-(cyclohexylmethoxy)benzamide: key intermediate for Src-SH2 inhibitor.
abstract: A facile chemoenzymatic synthesis of both the S and R forms of 5-(1-aminoethyl)-2-(cyclohexylmethoxy)benzamide a key intermediate of non-peptidic Src SH2 inhibitors is described. Both the enantiomers were synthesized in high optical purity (>99% ee) by reduction followed by lipase-mediated acylation of the precursor 6 in one-pot. Immobilized Pseudomonas cepacia lipase offered high degree of enantioselectivity with spontaneity.
