Herein, we describe two versatile and high yielding enzymatic approaches for the conversion of semi-protected amino acid and peptidyl C-terminal α-carboxylic acids into their corresponding amides. In the first approach, the lipase Candida antarctica lipase-B (Cal-B), and in the second approach, the protease Subtilisin A, are used, respectively. We found that by using the ammonium salt of the α-carboxylic acid instead of separate ammonia sources, the enzymatic amidation reactions proceeded much faster without side reactions and gave near to quantitative yields of products.

Mono- or di-substituted derivatives of GE2270 factors C2a, D2 and E of general formula (I), wherein W represents a moiety of formula (a), (b) or (c), R1 and R2 representing a variety of substituents, X1 is methyl, X2 is a --CH2 --W1 moiety and X3 is methylamino or amino, or X1 is a --CH2 --W1 moiety, X2 is methoxymethylene and X3 is methylamino, with the proviso that when X3 is amino, then W must be 2-(aminocarbonyl)-pyrrolidinyl; with the further proviso that when W is 2-(aminocarbonyl)-pyrrolidinyl, then W1 cannot be hydroxy; and the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. The mono- or di-substituted derivatives of antibiotic GE 2270 of formula (I) are antimicrobial agents mainly active against gram positive bacteria. STR1
