Enzymes are now widely recognized as practical catalysts for asymmetric synthesis, 1 their abilities to discriminate between enantiotopic groups or faces of a prochiral molecule being of particular importance. Hydrolysis, transesterification, or lactonization processes2 have been applied to prochiral diesters and diols in order to prepare chiral synthons of high optical purity. However, the potential of enzymes, especially lipases, to catalyze the aminolysis of prochiral substrates has not hitherto been investigated.With this in mind, the main purpose of this work is the study of the aminolysis and ammonolysis reactions of a prochiral diester, dimethyl 3-hydroxyglutarate (1). Optically active derivatives of 1 have proven utility in the synthesis of natural products; for example (R)-and (S)-3-hydroxyglutaric acid monoalkyl esters are starting materials in the synthesis of pimaricin, 3 the lactone portion of compactin, and other mevinic acids. 4 In addition, compounds derived of the aminolysis and ammonolysis of 1, since they bear an amide function, could be suitable precursors of biologically active amino acids, amino alcohols, and other polyfunctionalized compounds. We have chosen as biocatalyst the lipase from Candida antarctica (CAL), which has shown already a great efficiency in the resolution of both chiral esters5 and chiral amines and diamines6 through aminolysis and ammonolysis processes.
