Dynamic Kinetic Resolution of β-Azido Alcohols. An Efficient Route to Chiral Aziridines and β-Amino Alcohols.

Synthesis and Characterization of γ-Fe2O3@HAp@β-CD Core-Shell Nanoparticles as a Novel Magnetic Nanoreactor and Its Application in the One-Pot Preparation of β-azido Alcohols, β-nitro Alcohols, and β-cyanohydrins

In this study, β-cyclodextrin(β-CD) supported, hydroxyapatite encapsulated γ-Fe2O3 (γ-Fe2O3@HAp@β-CD) was successfully prepared and evaluated as a solid-liquid phase transfer catalyst and also a molecular host system and nanoreactor for the nucleophilic ring-opening of epoxides in water for the preparation of β-azido alcohols, β-nitro alcohols, an...

An Easy and Efficient Method to Produce γ-Amino Alcohols by Reduction of β-Enamino Ketones

The synthesis of γ-amino alcohols 1 is of great interest due to the pharmacology of these compounds and their derivatives. This functionality is found in several antibiotics and other biologically active natural products. Several synthetic methods have been described for the synthesis of γ-amino alcohols 1 from diols, hydroxazols, lactams and lactones, but the more important methods are those w...

One-pot synthesis of highly regioselective β-azido alcohols catalyzed by Brønsted acidic ionic liquids

In this protocol, 3-(2-carboxybenzoyl)-1-methyl-1H-imidazol-3-ium chloride [Cbmim]Cl and sulfonic acid functionalized pyridinium chloride [pyridine-SO3H]Cl as a new, reusable, and green Brønsted acidic ionic liquid (BAIL) catalyst were synthesized and successfully used for the one-pot ring opening of epoxide with sodium azide (NaN3) in water at room temperature. Epoxides under ring-opening easi...

Lipase-catalyzed kinetic resolution of aryltrimethylsilyl chiral alcohols.

Lipase-catalyzed kinetic resolution of aryltrimethylsilyl chiral alcohols through a transesterification reaction was studied. The optimal conditions found for the kinetic resolution of m- and p-aryltrimethylsilyl chiral alcohols, led to excellent results, high conversions (c = 50%), high enantiomeric ratios (E > 200) and enantiomeric excesses for the remaining (S)-alcohol and (R)-acetylated pro...
