What is my mission

What is organocatalysis

To present an overview organocatalytic reactions

To show the synthesis of optically active building blocksand their application

To use simple and easy available starting compoundsand catalysts

Organocatalysis

Advantagesa) Easy to prepareb) Easy to handle – water, airc) Easy to scale upd) No metal contaminatione) Easy screeningf) “More flexible” than metal

catalysisg) More complex reactions

and multiple stereocenter formation

Disadvantagesa) High catalyst loadingsb) ”Premature”

An “old” example – Warfarin – from lab to humans

100% atom economic, one-step synthesis of optically active anticoagulants

100% atom economic, one-step synthesis of optically active anticoagulants

O O

OH Ph OWarfarin

sold as racemate for 40 years

Activity: (S)-enantiomer is about 5 times higher than the activity of the (R)-enantiomer, and the enantiomers are metabolized by different metabolic pathways.

Different half-lives of the enantiomers: 21-43 and 37-89 h for (S)- and (R)-warfarin, respectively.

Problem: patients are responding very differently to racemic warfarin.

Treatment of patients with optically pure warfarin will reduce the dose problem. Advantage: weak patients, unable to tolerate the stronger racemic or (S)-warfarin,could be treated with the milder (R)-warfarin.

The most important advantage of administrating optically pure warfarin is the possibility of eliminatingdrug-drug interactions, which represents another serious problem with racemic warfarin, as the cytochromeP-450 enzyme responsible for metabolising warfarin is also metabolizing other drugs
