Enzyme-catalysed regio- and enantioselective preparative scale synthesis of (S)-2-hydroxy alkanones
نویسنده
چکیده
a-Hydroxy alkanones were synthesised with high enantiomeric purity by stereoselective enzyme-catalysed diketone reduction. Both diketone reduction and cofactor regeneration were accomplished with purified carbonyl reductase from Candida parapsilosis (CPCR2). The reaction products were isolated by column chromatography and analysed by chiral GC measurements, H-NMR spectroscopy and determination of optical rotations. Preparative-scale biotransformations yielded 350–600 mg of pure aliphatic a-hydroxy ketones including the difficult to obtain (S)-2-hydroxypentane-3-one. For all the products good enantiomeric excesses in the range of 89–93% were achieved.

Highly regio- and enantioselective multiple oxy- and amino-functionalizations of alkenes by modular cascade biocatalysis
New types of asymmetric functionalizations of alkenes are highly desirable for chemical synthesis. Here, we develop three novel types of regio- and enantioselective multiple oxy- and amino-functionalizations of terminal alkenes via cascade biocatalysis to produce chiral α-hydroxy acids, 1,2-amino alcohols and α-amino acids, respectively. Basic enzyme modules 1-4 are developed to convert alkenes...
متن کاملAsymmetric synthesis of N-allylic indoles via regio- and enantioselective allylation of aryl hydrazines
The asymmetric synthesis of N-allylic indoles is important for natural product synthesis and pharmaceutical research. The regio- and enantioselective N-allylation of indoles is a true challenge due to the favourable C3-allylation. We develop here a new strategy to the asymmetric synthesis of N-allylic indoles via rhodium-catalysed N-selective coupling of aryl hydrazines with allenes followed by...

One-pot sequential asymmetric reactions of aminobenzaldehydes or aminophenones with alkynes catalysed by a gold(I)/Brønsted acid cooperative system are reported. This process provides a highly efficient method for the synthesis of optically active tetrahydroquinolines, with one or two chiral centres at different positions as well as highly divergent functional groups, in good to excellent yield...
