Alanine racemase chiral binaphthol derivative with powerful hydrogen bond donor, and optical resolution and optical transformation methods using the same
Disclosed is an alanine racemase chiral binaphthol derivative having the ability to recognize amino alcohols selectively on the basis of chirality and transform amino acids from an L-form into a D-form. Methods for the optical resolution of amino acid or amino alcohol and for the optical transformation of D- and L-forms of amino acids using the binaphthol derivative are also provided.
1. A binaphthol derivative
selected from the group consisting of compounds represented by Formulas I, II, V, and VI below:
wherein R1 to R4, R7, and R8 are each:
(i) linear or branched alkyl groups substitutable with —OH, hydrogen or halogen,
(ii) cyclic alkyl, alkenyl or alkynyl groups substitutable with —OH or halogen, or
(iii) aryl groups substitutable with —OH or halogen.
2. A method for optical resolution of a racemic amino alcohol represented by Formula VII below or a racemic amino acid represented by Formula VIII below:
wherein R9 to R12 are each independently a hydrogen-containing monovalent organic group or halogen; and
wherein R13 to R15 are each independently a hydrogen-containing monovalent organic group, the method comprising:
providing the compound of claim 1 ; and
optically resolving the racemic amino alcohol represented by Formula VII or the racemic amino acid represented by Formula VIII using the compound of claim 1 .
3. The method as set forth in claim 2 , wherein the R9 to R12 are each independently, as the hydrogen-containing monovalent organic group, substituted or unsubstituted alkyl, substituted or unsubstituted alkenyl, substituted or unsubstituted cyclic alkyl, or substituted or unsubstituted aryl.
4. The method as set forth in claim 2 , wherein the R13 to R15 are each independently, as the hydrogen-containing monovalent organic group, substituted or unsubstituted alkyl, substituted or unsubstituted alkenyl, substituted or unsubstituted cyclic alkyl, or substituted or unsubstituted aryl.
5. A method for optical transformation of an amino acid represented by Formula VIII below from a D-form into an L-form or from the L-form into the D-form:
wherein R13 to R15 are each independently a hydrogen-containing monovalent organic group, the method comprising:
providing the compound of claim 1 ; and
optically transforming the amino acid represented by Formula VIII from a D-form into an L-form or from the L-form into the D-form using the compound of claim 1 .
6. The method as set forth in claim 5 , wherein the R13 to R15 are each independently, as the hydrogen-containing monovalent organic group, substituted or unsubstituted alkyl, substituted or unsubstituted alkenyl, substituted or unsubstituted cyclic alkyl, or substituted or unsubstituted aryl.
