Abstract
Transaminase enzymes have significant potential for the stereoselective synthesis of drugs or drug precursors. Here, starting from one prochiral β-tetralone, a short and efficient chemoenzymatic synthesis of four agonists of the serotonin/melatonin receptors have been developed. The key step is the stereoselective transamination of the prochiral ketone to produce both enantiomers of 8-methoxy-2-aminotetraline in high yields and enantiomeric excesses. This was followed by either amidation to give the 8-methoxy-2-acetimidotetralines or several facile chemical steps to the 8-hydroxy-2-aminodipropyltetralines.
