摘要
An extremely efficient route to highly enantiomerically enriched 2-methylsuccinamic acid via asymmetric hydrogenation has been developed. By using [(SS)-Et-DuPHOS Rh COD]BF4 as the precatalyst under a set of broadly optimised process parameters, (R)-2-methylsuccinamic acid was obtained in 96% ee at a substrate-to-catalyst ratio (S/C) of 100000 (average turnover frequency similar to13000 h-1). The exclusion of chloride-containing contaminants in the substrate was found to be crucial in obtaining exceptionally low catalyst loadings. This material could be upgraded with a single-crystal digestion to yield (R)2-methylsuccinamic acid in > 99.5% ee containing less than 1 ppm rhodium.
