A computational study on the stereoselective organocatalytic epoxidation of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes with hydrogen peroxide.
The asymmetric synthesis of vicinal diols is a very important process in organic chemistry, as it allows the preparation of a large variety of useful derivatives. One of the most interesting methods to accomplish this synthesis is the asymmetric epoxidation of activated olefins, catalysed by chiral organic or organometallic catalysts. In this paper we study, with computational tools, two possib...
متن کاملDirect electrochemical regeneration of monooxygenase subunits for biocatalytic asymmetric epoxidation.
We report the first example of direct electrochemical regeneration of a flavin-dependent monooxygenase for asymmetric epoxidation catalysis. It is shown that electrochemical regeneration of the oxygenase subunit of the multicomponent styrene monooxygenase is sufficient to perform enantiospecific S-epoxidation of various styrene derivatives. Kinetic bottlenecks of the novel electroenzymatic reac...
متن کاملAtropo- and Diastereoselective Construction of Tetracyclic Biphenylazepinium Salts Derived from Aminoalcohols: Use as Catalysts in Enantioselective Asymmetric Epoxidation.
A range of new biphenylazepinium salt organocatalysts effective for asymmetric epoxidation has been developed incorporating an additional substituted oxazolidine ring, and providing improved enantiocontrol in alkene epoxidation over the parent structure. Starting from enantiomerically pure aminoalcohols, tetracyclic iminium salts were obtained as single diastereoisomers through an atroposelecti...

The lecture summarized our recent work in the fields of (i) catalytic asymmetric epoxidation and cyclopropanation, (ii) C–C coupling reactions, and (iii) dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR). The first section describes the use of chiral Ru-porphyrins as catalysts for the asymmetric epoxidation and cyclopropanation of nonfunctionalized olefins, and of peptides and alkaloid-based phase-transfer cata...

Cationic organic intermediates participate in a wide variety of useful synthetic transformations, but their high reactivity can render selectivity in competing pathways difficult to control. Here, we describe a strategy for inducing enantioselectivity in reactions of protio-iminium ions, wherein a chiral catalyst interacts with the highly reactive intermediate through a network of noncovalent i...
