摘要
A scalable and cost-effective synthesis of D- and L-alpha-methylcysteine is described. A key step is D-selective cyclization of N-carbamoyl S-tert-butyl-D,L-alpha-methylcysteine catalyzed by hydantoinase. D-5-tert-Butylthiomethyl-5-methylhydantoin and A-carbamoyl S-tert-butyl-L-alpha-methylcysteine were obtained with excellent yield and optical purity, and these compounds were easily separated by filtration. After hydrolysis and cleavage of the tert-butyl group, D- and L-ot-methylcysteine hydrochloride were obtained. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
