Eight N-phenylalkylmaleimides (four 2-methyl-N-phenylalkylmaleimides and four 2,3-dimethyl-N-phenylalkylmaleimides with an alkyl chain (CH(2))(n) (n = 1-4) between the imide N and the benzene ring) were subjected to biotransformation using the fungal strain Aspergillus fumigatus ATCC 26934. All compounds were reduced enantioselectively to their respective succinimides: (R)-2-methyl-N-phenylalkylsuccinimides and (2R,3R)-2,3-dimethyl-N-phenylalkylsuccinimides, with satisfactory conversion rates and high stereoisomeric excesses. NMR analysis using the chiral shift reagent Eu(hfc)(3) showed that enantiomeric excesses were >99%. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
