Enantioselective Chromatographic Separation and Lipase Catalyzed Asymmetric Resolution of Biologically Important Chiral Amines

Cyanoacetamides are vital synthons in synthetic organic chemistry. However, methods to enantiopure cyanoacetamides have not yet been well explored. In this work, the preparation of cyanoacetamide synthons RS-(1a–4a) or methoxyacetamides RS-(1b–4b) in enantiopure/enriched form was investigated. Compounds S-1, S-2, R-1b, R-1a, andR-2b were prepared in enantiopure form (ee > 99%) while compounds S-4, R-2a, and R-4a were achieved in ee 9%, 80%, and 76%, respectively. Many baselines enantioselective HPLC separations of amines 1–4, their cyanoacetamides (1a–4a), and methoxyacetamides (1b–4b) were achieved by utilizing diverse mobile-phase compositions and two cellulose-based CSPs (ODH® and LUX-3® columns). Such enantioselective HPLC separations were used to monitor the lipase-catalyzed kinetic resolution of amines RS-(1–4).

Synthesis and insecticidal assessment of some innovative heterocycles incorporating a thiadiazole moiety against the cotton leafworm, Spodoptera littoralis

A new 2-cyano-N-(5-ethyl-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)acetamide was utilized as a versatile precursor for the synthesis of various heterocycles.
