We report the development and optimization of a tetrapeptide that catalyzes the methanolytic dynamic kinetic resolution of oxazol-5(4H)-ones (azlactones) with high levels of enantioinduction. Oxazolones possessing benzylic-type substituents were found to perform better than others, providing methyl ester products in 88:12 to 98:2 er. The mechanism of this peptide-catalyzed process was investigated through truncation studies and competition experiments. High-field NOESY analysis was performed to elucidate the solution-phase structure of the peptide, and we present a plausible model for catalysis.
Dynamic kinetic resolution of N-benzoyl-DL-amino acids via peptide bond forming reactions

Dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR) was demonstrated in the carbodiimide-mediated couplings of N-benzoyl-DL-amino acids with L-amino acid esters: the yields of the D-L-peptides significantly exceeded 50% in some cases. N-benzoyl-DL-t-leucine afforded the D-L-peptide almost exclusively (up to 96% yield) in the reaction with methyl L-prolinate, which is the most efficient DKR obtained in the field of amino acids and derivatives.
Kinetic resolutions of lndolines by a nonenzymatic acylation catalyst
Arp, Forrest O.,Fu, Gregory C.
, p. 14264 - 14265 (2008/03/13)
The first method for the kinetic resolution of indolines through catalytic N-acylation is described. To improve the selectivity factor, new planar-chiral PPY-derived catalysts were synthesized, wherein the chiral environment was systematically modified. This work provides a rare example of a nonenzyme-based acylation catalyst for the kinetic resolution of amines. Copyright
