- Dynamic Kinetic Resolution of Alcohols by Enantioselective Silylation Enabled by Two Orthogonal Transition-Metal Catalysts
-
A nonenzymatic dynamic kinetic resolution of acyclic and cyclic benzylic alcohols is reported. The approach merges rapid transition-metal-catalyzed alcohol racemization and enantioselective Cu-H-catalyzed dehydrogenative Si-O coupling of alcohols and hydrosilanes. The catalytic processes are orthogonal, and the racemization catalyst does not promote any background reactions such as the racemization of the silyl ether and its unselective formation. Often-used ruthenium half-sandwich complexes are not suitable but a bifunctional ruthenium pincer complex perfectly fulfills this purpose. By this, enantioselective silylation of racemic alcohol mixtures is achieved in high yields and with good levels of enantioselection.

- Visible-Light-Driven Catalytic Deracemization of Secondary Alcohols
-
Deracemization of racemic chiral compounds is an attractive approach in asymmetric synthesis, but its development has been hindered by energetic and kinetic challenges. Here we describe a catalytic deracemization method for secondary benzylic alcohols which are important synthetic intermediates and end products for many industries. Driven by visible light only, this method is based on sequential photochemical dehydrogenation followed by enantioselective thermal hydrogenation. The combination of a heterogeneous dehydrogenation photocatalyst and a chiral molecular hydrogenation catalyst is essential to ensure two distinct pathways for the forward and reverse reactions. These reactions convert a large number of racemic aryl alkyl alcohols into their enantiomerically enriched forms in good yields and enantioselectivities.

- Effectiveness and Mechanism of the Ene(amido) Group in Activating Iron for the Catalytic Asymmetric Transfer Hydrogenation of Ketones
-
I-interacting ligands of the diphosphino amido-ene(amido) type are effective in activating iron to resemble the properties of precious metals in the catalytic asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of ketones. To further verify the effectiveness of the ene(amido) group, we synthesized four amine(imine) diphosphine iron precatalyst complexes with substituents at α and β positions relative to imino groups (1-3) or with enlarged chelate ring sizes (5,5,6-membered rings) (4). In comparison with the parent trans-(R,R)-[Fe(CO)(Cl)(PPh2CH2CHaNCHPhCHPhNHCH2CH2PPh2)]BF4 (I), the introduction of a methyl group in 1 and 2 reduced the catalytic activity but led to undiminished enantioselectivity as reaction proceeded. In comparison to the iron complexes 1-3 with a 5,5,5-coordination geometry, the complex 4 derived from the new (R,R)-P-NH-NH2 tridentate ligand showed high reactivity comparable to that of I but was unfortunately not enantioselective. The catalytic reactivity of 1, 2, and 4 illustrates the effectiveness of the ene(amido) group. An electronic structure study on the important catalytic intermediate amido-ene(amido) complex 1b proved that iron was activated by an additional I-back-donation-interaction ligand to participate in the traditional metal-ligand bifunctional pathway in the asymmetric transfer hydrogenation reactions.

The asymmetric transfer hydrogenation (ATH) of a wide range of ketones catalyzed by manganese complex as well as chiral PxNy-type ligand under mild conditions was investigated. Using 2-propanol as hydrogen source, various ketones could be enantioselectively hydrogenated by combining cheap, readily available [MnBr(CO)5] with chiral, 22-membered macrocyclic ligand (R,R,R',R')-CyP2N4 (L5) with 2 mol% of catalyst loading, affording highly valuable chiral alcohols with up to 95% ee.

- Enantioselective direct, base-free hydrogenation of ketones by a manganese amido complex of a homochiral, unsymmetrical P-N-P′ ligand
-
The use of manganese in homogeneous hydrogenation catalysis has been a recent focus in the pursuit of more environmentally benign base metal catalysts. It has great promise with its unique reactivity when coupled with metal-ligand cooperation of aminophosphine pincer ligands. Here, a manganese precatalyst Mn(P-N-P′)(CO)2, where P-N-P′ is the amido form of the ligand (S,S)-PPh2CHPhCHPhNHCH2CH2PiPr2, has been synthesized and used for base-free ketone hydrogenation. This catalyst shows exceptionally high enantioselectivity and good activity, with tolerance for base-sensitive substrates. NMR structural analysis of intermediates formed by the reaction of the amido complex with hydrogen under pressure identified a reactive hydride with an NOE contact with the syn amine proton. Computational analysis of the catalytic cycle reveals that the heterolytic splitting of dihydrogen across the MnN bond in the amido complex has a low barrier while the hydride transfer to the ketone is the turnover-limiting step. The pro-S transition state is found to be usually much lower in energy than the pro-R transition state depending on the ketone structure, consistent with the high (S) enantiomeric excess in the alcohol products. The energy to reach the transition state is higher for the distortion of the in-coming ketone than that of the hydride complex. In a one-to-one comparison with the similar iron catalyst FeH2(CO)(P-NH-P′), the manganese catalyst is found to have higher enantioselectivity, often over 95% ee, while the iron catalyst has higher activity and productivity. An explanation of these differences is provided on the basis of the more deformable iron hydride complex due to the smaller hydride ligands.

- New chiral stationary phases for liquid chromatography based on small molecules: Development, enantioresolution evaluation and chiral recognition mechanisms
-
Recently, we reported the development of new chiral stationary phases (CSPs) for liquid chromatography (LC) based on chiral derivatives of xanthones (CDXs). Based on the most promising CDX selectors, 12 new CSPs were successfully prepared starting from suitable functionalized small molecules including xanthone and benzophenone derivatives. The chiral selectors comprising one, two, three, or four chiral moieties were covalently bonded to a chromatographic support and further packed into LC stainless-steel columns (150?×?2.1?mm I.D.). The enantioselective performance of the new CSPs was evaluated by LC using different classes of chiral compounds. Specificity for enantioseparation of some CDXs was observed in the evaluation of the new CSPs. Besides, assessment of chiral recognition mechanisms was performed by computational studies using molecular docking approach, which are in accordance with the chromatographic parameters. X-Ray analysis was used to establish a chiral selector 3D structure.

- Enantioselective Hydroboration of Ketones Catalyzed by Rare-Earth Metal Complexes Containing Trost Ligands

Complex 4 was employed as the catalyst for enantioselective hydroboration reaction of substituted ketones, and the corresponding secondary alcohols with excellent yields and high ee values were obtained using reductant HBpin. The same result was also achieved using the combination of lanthanium amides La[N(SiMe3)2]3 with Trost proligand H3L1 in a 1:1 molar ratio.

- Iridium-Catalyzed Enantioselective Transfer Hydrogenation of Ketones Controlled by Alcohol Hydrogen-Bonding and sp3-C?H Noncovalent Interactions
-
Iridium-catalyzed enantioselective transfer hydrogenation of ketones with formic acid was developed using a prolinol-phosphine chiral ligand. Cooperative action of the iridium atom and the ligand through alcohol-alkoxide interconversion is crucial to facilitate the transfer hydrogenation. Various ketones including alkyl aryl ketones, ketoesters, and an aryl heteroaryl ketone were competent substrates. An attractive feature of this catalysis is efficient discrimination between the alkyl and aryl substituents of the ketones, promoting hydrogenation with the identical sense of enantioselection regardless of steric demand of the alkyl substituent and thus resulting in a rare case of highly enantioselective transfer hydrogenation of tert-alkyl aryl ketones. Quantum chemical calculations revealed that the sp3-C?H/π interaction between an sp3-C?H bond of the prolinol-phosphine ligand and the aryl substituent of the ketone is crucial for the enantioselection in combination with O?H???O/sp3-C?H???O two-point hydrogen-bonding between the chiral ligand and carbonyl group.

Among the tested pyridinium salt-coated lipases, the PYET-coated lipase PS (PYET-PS) exhibited the best results; the transesterification of 1-(pyridin-2-yl)ethanol, 1-(pyridin-3-yl)ethanol, 1-(pyridin-4-yl)ethanol, or 4-phenylbut-3-en-2-ol proceeded faster than those of the IL1-PS-catalyzed reaction while maintaining an excellent enantioselectivity (E > 200). This improved efficiency was found to be dependent on the increased Kcat value.

This manuscript describes the design and synthesis of Ru catalysts that feature only a single stereogenic element, yet this minimal chirality resource is demonstrated to be competent for effecting high levels of stereoinduction in the asymmetric transfer hydrogenation over a broad range of ketone substrates, including those that are not accommodated by known catalyst systems. The single stereogenic center of the (1-pyridine-2-yl)methanamine) is the only point-chirality in the catalysts, which simplifies this catalyst system relative to existing literature protocols.

- Enantiopure Methyl- A nd Phenyllithium: Mixed (Carb-)Anionic Anisyl Fencholate-Aggregates
-
Methyl- A nd phenyllithium aggregates with enantiopure anisyl fencholate units form after reaction of organolithium reagent with (+)-anisyl fenchol in hydrocarbon and some ethereal solvents. These carbanionic aggregates are characterized by X-ray crystal analyses and exhibit both 3:1 stoichiometry and distorted cubic Li4O3C1 cores, in which three lithium ions coordinate the carbanion (i.e., methylide or phenylide). These three lithium ions define a Lewis acidic surface (Li3), binding the carbanion and expanding with the steric demand of the carbanion (i.e., from Me: 2.62 ?2, over n-Bu: 2.65 ?2 (previous work) to Ph: 2.79 ?2). Methylation and phenylation reactions of various prochiral aldehydes employing these methyllithium and phenyllithium aggregates yield alcohols with up to 44% ee. To rationalize the formation of the mixed (carb-)anionic aggregates, aggregate formation energies, describing co-condensations of RLi (R = Me, Ph, n-Bu) and lithium fencholates, are computed for the 3:1 and 2:2 stoichiometries. These computed aggregate formation energies point to preferences for 3:1 over 2:2 aggregates, as it is also apparent from experimental aggregate formations, confirmed by X-ray crystal analyses. In close analogy to the X-ray crystal structures, the computed Li3 surfaces increase with increasing steric demand of the carbanions. The chiral, mixed (carb-)anionic RLi-fencholate aggregates hence adapt to different carbanion sized and arise not only with small (Me) or primary carbanions (n-Bu) but even with the larger secondary phenyl anion.

- Copper(I)-Catalyzed Enantioconvergent Borylation of Racemic Benzyl Chlorides Enabled by Quadrant-by-Quadrant Structure Modification of Chiral Bisphosphine Ligands

The first copper(I)-catalyzed enantioselective borylation of racemic benzyl chlorides has been realized by a quadrant-by-quadrant structure modulation of QuinoxP*-type bisphosphine ligands. This reaction converts racemic mixtures of secondary benzyl chlorides into the corresponding chiral benzylboronates with high enantioselectivity (up to 92 % ee). The results of mechanistic studies suggest the formation of a benzylic radical intermediate. The results of DFT calculations indicate that the optimal bisphosphine-copper(I) catalyst engages in noncovalent interactions that efficiently recognize the radical intermediate, and leads to high levels of enantioselectivity.

- Chemoenzymatic Approaches to the Synthesis of the Calcimimetic Agent Cinacalcet Employing Transaminases and Ketoreductases
-
Several chemoenzymatic routes have been explored for the preparation of cinacalcet, a calcimimetic agent. Transaminases (TAs) and ketoreductases (KREDs) turned out to be useful biocatalysts for the preparation of key optically active precursors. Thus, the asymmetric amination of 1-acetonaphthone yielded an enantiopure (R)-amine, which can be alkylated in one step to yield cinacalcet. Alternatively, the bioreduction of the same ketone resulted in an enantiopure (S)-alcohol, which was easily converted into the previous (R)-amine. In addition, the reduction was efficiently performed with the KRED and its cofactor co-immobilized on the same porous surface. This self-sufficient heterogeneous biocatalyst presented an accumulated total turnover number (TTN) for the cofactor of 675 after 5 consecutive operational cycles. Finally, in a preparative scale synthesis the TA-based approach was performed in aqueous medium and led to enantiopure cinacalcet in two steps and 50% overall yield. (Figure presented.).

Bis(oxazolinyldimethylmethyl)pyrrol (PdmBox) stereodirecting ligands provided the key to the chromium(ii)-catalysed highly enantioselective hydrosilylation of ketones. A rare square planar, chiral chromium(ii) alkyl complex was found to serve as a potent precatalyst for the reduction of a broad range of aryl alkyl and dialkyl ketone derivatives. The stereoelectronic preference of the open d4 shell of chromium(ii) firmly locks the molecular catalyst in a square planar geometry giving rise to two blocked quadrants of the coordination sphere. This earth-abundant base metal catalytic platform produces the corresponding chiral alcohols in excellent isolated yields with up to 98 %ee under mild reaction conditions (-40 °C to rt) and at low catalyst loadings (as low as 0.5 mol%).

-
The novel optically active two zinc(II)phthalocyanines and two cobalt(II)phthalocyanines with four chiral hydrobenzoin moieties at the non-peripheral (4 and 5) and peripheral positions (6 and 7) of the phthalocyanine ring have been synthesized. The structures of the synthesized compounds are characterized by 1H NMR, IR, UV–Vis, circular dichroism (CD) and MALDI-TOF MS spectral data. The comparative studies of the spectral, aggregation properties, voltammetry and catalytic applications of novel zinc(II) and cobalt(II)phthalocyanines, tetra-substituted with hydrobenzoin at peripheral and non-peripheral positions, were investigated. All synthesized phthalocyanines are highly soluble in most common organic solvents. In the enantioselective addition of diethylzinc to aldehydes, the best catalytic activity was obtained with 3-methoxybenzaldehyde in the presence of non-peripherally hydrobenzoin substituted zinc(II)phthalocyanine 4 and afforded the corresponding chiral secondary alcohol with the yield of 38% and the enantiomeric excess of 33%. In the oxidation of benzyl alcohol, the highest conversion of benzyl alcohol to benzaldehyde was obtained with non-peripherally substituted cobalt(II)phthalocyanine 5 as 91% with the highest selectivity of 83%.

- Acylative Kinetic Resolution of Alcohols Using a Recyclable Polymer-Supported Isothiourea Catalyst in Batch and Flow
-
A polystyrene-supported isothiourea catalyst, based on the homogeneous catalyst HyperBTM, has been prepared and used for the acylative kinetic resolution of secondary alcohols. A wide range of alcohols, including benzylic, allylic, and propargylic alcohols, cycloalkanol derivatives, and a 1,2-diol, has been resolved using either propionic or isobutyric anhydride with good to excellent selectivity factors obtained (28 examples, s values up to 600). The catalyst can be recovered and reused by a simple filtration and washing sequence, with no special precautions needed. The recyclability of the catalyst was demonstrated (15 cycles) with no significant loss in either activity or selectivity. The recyclable catalyst was also used for the sequential resolution of 10 different alcohols using different anhydrides with no cross-contamination between cycles. Finally, successful application in a continuous flow process demonstrated the first example of an immobilized Lewis base catalyst used for the kinetic resolution of alcohols in flow.

- Remarkably improved stability and enhanced activity of a: Burkholderia cepacia lipase by coating with a triazolium alkyl-PEG sulfate ionic liquid
-
Three types of triazolium cetyl-PEG10 sulfate ionic liquid were synthesized and their activation of Burkholderia cepacia lipase was investigated; both the reaction rate and enantioselectivity depended on the cationic part of the coating ILs and 1-butyl-3-methyl-1,2,3-triazolium cetyl-PEG10 sulfate (Tz1)-coated lipase PS, which is especially suitable for the transesterification of 1-(pyridin-2-yl)ethanol, 1-(pyridin-3-yl)ethanol, and 1-(pyridin-4-yl)ethanol, among 12 types of tested secondary alcohol. The most important result was obtained when these enzymes were stored in an IL ([N221MEM][Tf2N]) solvent: Tz1-PS showed an amazing stability and it exhibited an excellent activity after 2 years when the enzyme was stored in [N221MEM][Tf2N].

- Unsymmetrical Iron P-NH-P′ Catalysts for the Asymmetric Pressure Hydrogenation of Aryl Ketones
-
The reductive amination of α-dialkylphosphine acetaldehydes with enantiopure β-aminophosphines is a new, versatile route to unsymmetrical tridentate (pincer) ligands P-NH-P′. Four new ligands PR2CH2CH2NHCHR′CHR′′PPh2 (R=iPr, Cy, R′=Ph, CH(CH3)2, R′′=Ph, H) prepared in this way are used to make the iron(II) complexes mer-FeCl2(CO)(P-NH-P′) and mer-FeCl(H)(CO)(P-NH-P′). The hydride complex with the rigid ligand with R′=R′′=Ph is an efficient and highly enantioselective homogeneous asymmetric pressure hydrogenation (APH) catalyst. Prochiral aryl ketones are reduced under mild conditions (THF, 0.1 mol % catalyst, 1 mol % KOtBu, 5–10 bar, 50 °C) to the (S)-alcohols, usually in enantiomeric excess (ee) greater than 90 %. DFT calculations provided transition-state structures for the enantiodetermining hydride-transfer step.

- Mechanism-Based Enantiodivergence in Manganese Reduction Catalysis: A Chiral Pincer Complex for the Highly Enantioselective Hydroboration of Ketones
-
A manganese alkyl complex containing a chiral bis(oxazolinyl-methylidene)isoindoline pincer ligand is a precatalyst for a catalytic system of unprecedented activity and selectivity in the enantioselective hydroboration of ketones, thus producing preparatively useful chiral alcohols in excellent yields with up to greater than 99 % ee. It is applicable for both aryl alkyl and dialkyl ketone reduction under mild reaction conditions (TOF >450 h?1 at ?40 °C). The earth-abundant base-metal catalyst operates at very low catalyst loadings (as low as 0.1 mol %) and with a high level of functional-group tolerance. There is evidence for the existence of two distinct mechanistic pathways for manganese-catalyzed hydride transfer and their role for enantiocontrol in the selectivity-determining step is presented.

- Stereospecific Nickel-Catalyzed Borylation of Secondary Benzyl Pivalates
-
A stereoselective nickel-catalyzed direct borylation of enantioenriched secondary benzyl pivalates is described. This methodology is characterized by an intriguing cooperativity of simple nickel and copper salts to promote the targeted C-B bond formation under mild reaction conditions. Unlike classical S N 2-type processes, this protocol occurs with a neat retention of configuration, resulting in synthetically versatile benzyl boronic esters with excellent stereochemical fidelity.

- The selective oxidation of substituted aromatic hydrocarbons and the observation of uncoupling via redox cycling during naphthalene oxidation by the CYP101B1 system
-
The cytochrome P450 monooxygenase enzyme CYP101B1, from Novosphingobium aromaticivorans DSM12444, efficiently and selectively oxidised a range of naphthalene and biphenyl derivatives. Methyl substituted naphthalenes were better substrates than ethylnaphthalenes and naphthalene itself. The highest product formation activity for a singly substituted alkylnaphthalene was obtained with 2-methylnaphthalene. The oxidation of alkylnaphthalenes was regioselective for the benzylic methyl or methine C-H bonds. The products from 1- and 2-ethylnaphthalene oxidation were highly enantioselective with a single stereoisomer being generated in significant excess. The disubstituted substrate, 2,7-dimethylnaphthalene, had a higher product formation activity than either 1- and 2-methylnaphthalene. Methyl substituted biphenyls were also better substrates than biphenyl and had similar biocatalytic parameters to 1-methylnaphthalene. CYP101B1 catalysed oxidation of 2- and 3-methylbiphenyl was selective for attack at the methyl C-H bonds. The exception was the turnover of 4-methylbiphenyl which generated 4′-(4-methylphenyl)phenol as the major product (70%) with 4-biphenylmethanol making up the remainder. The drug molecule diclofenac was also regioselectively oxidised to 4′-hydroxydiclofenac by CYP101B1. The activity of the CYP101B1 system with naphthalene was more complex and the rate of NADH oxidation increased over time but very little product, 1-naphthol, was generated. Addition of samples of 1-naphthol and 2-naphthol and low concentrations of 1,4-naphthoquinone induced rapid NADH oxidation activity in the in vitro turnovers in both the presence and absence of the cytochrome P450 enzyme. Hydrogen peroxide was generated in these reactions in absence of the P450 enzymes demonstrating that the ferredoxin and ferredoxin reductase in combination with quinones from naphthol oxidation and oxygen can undergo redox cycling giving rise to a form of uncoupling of the reducing equivalents.

- A 3D Homochiral MOF [Cd2(d-cam)3]?2Hdma?4dma for HPLC Chromatographic Enantioseparation
-
Up to now, some chiral metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been reported for enantioseparation in liquid chromatography. Here we report a homochiral MOF, [Cd2(d-cam)3]·2Hdma·4dma, used as a new chiral stationary phase for high-performance liquid chromatographic enantioseparation. Nine racemates of alcohol, naphthol, ketone, and base compounds were used as analytes for evaluating the separation properties of the chiral MOF packed column. Moreover, some effects such as mobile phase composition, column temperature, and analytes mass for separations on this chiral column also were investigated. The relative standard deviations for the resolution values of run-to-run and column-to-column were less than 2.1% and 3.2%, respectively. The experimental results indicate that the homochiral MOF offered good recognition ability, which promotes the application of chiral MOFs use as stationary phase for enantioseparation.

- Nanocellulose derivative/silica hybrid core-shell chiral stationary phase: Preparation and enantioseparation performance
-
Core-shell silica microspheres with a nanocellulose derivative in the hybrid shell were successfully prepared as a chiral stationary phase by a layer-by-layer self-assembly method. The hybrid shell assembled on the silica core was formed using a surfactant as template by the copolymerization reaction of tetraethyl orthosilicate and the nanocellulose derivative bearing triethoxysilyl and 3,5-dimethylphenyl groups. The resulting nanocellulose hybrid core-shell chiral packing materials (CPMs) were characterized and packed into columns, and their enantioseparation performance was evaluated by high performance liquid chromatography. The results showed that CPMs exhibited uniform surface morphology and core-shell structures. Various types of chiral compounds were efficiently separated under normal and reversed phase mode. Moreover, chloroform and tetrahydrofuran as mobile phase additives could obviously improve the resolution during the chiral separation processes. CPMs still have good chiral separation property when eluted with solvent systems with a high content of tetrahydrofuran and chloroform, which proved the high solvent resistance of this new material.

- Application of homochiral alkylated organic cages as chiral stationary phases for molecular separations by capillary gas chromatography
-
Molecular organic cage compounds have attracted considerable attention due to their potential applications in gas storage, catalysis, chemical sensing, molecular separations, etc. In this study, a homochiral pentyl cage compound was synthesized from a condensation reaction of (S,S)-1,2-pentyl-1,2-diaminoethane and 1,3,5-triformylbenzene. The imine-linked pentyl cage diluted with a polysiloxane (OV-1701) was explored as a novel stationary phase for high-resolution gas chromatographic separation of organic compounds. Some positional isomers were baseline separated on the pentyl cage-coated capillary column. In particular, various types of enantiomers including chiral alcohols, esters, ethers and epoxides can be resolved without derivatization on the pentyl cage-coated capillary column. The reproducibility of the pentyl cage-coated capillary column for separation was investigated using nitrochlorobenzene and styrene oxide as analytes. The results indicate that the column has good stability and separation reproducibility after being repeatedly used. This work demonstrates that molecular organic cage compounds could become a novel class of chiral separation media in the near future.

- Photochemically immobilized 4-methylbenzoyl cellulose as a powerful chiral stationary phase for enantioselective chromatography
-
A process to immobilize para-methylbenzoyl cellulose (PMBC) on silica gel has been developed and applied to prepare chiral stationary phases (CSPs) for enantioselective chromatography. The immobilization was achieved by simple irradiation of the polysaccharide derivative with ultraviolet light after coating on a silica gel support. The influence of parameters such as irradiation time and solvent on immobilization effectiveness were investigated. The performance of the prepared immobilized phases were evaluated by injection of a series of racemic compounds onto the packed columns and determination of their chiral recognition ability. By contrast to the classical coated phase, the immobilized CSP can be used under various chromatographic conditions without limitation of organic solvent types as the mobile phase. This extended applicability permits to improve selectivity and to resolve chiral compounds which are not or only poorly soluble in the mobile phases which are compatible with the non-immobilized PMBC stationary phase.

- Preparation of Enantiomerically Pure (S)-(?)-1-(1′-naphthyl)-ethanol by the Fungus Alternaria alternata
-
(S)-(?)-1-(1′-napthyl)-ethanol (S-NE) is an important intermediate for the preparation of mevinic acid analogs, which is used for the treatment of hyperlipidemia. The objectives of the study were to isolate a microorganism that could effectively reduce 1-acetonaphthone (1-ACN) to S-NE, to determine the influence that the physicochemical parameters would have on the reduction by the isolated microorganism, and to attempt large-scale studies with the microorganism. Over the years fungi have been considered a promising biocatalyst and it has been presumed that many fungal species have not been isolated and therefore the current study focused on possible isolation of these microorganisms. A total of 72 fungal isolates were screened for their ability to reduce 1-ACN to its corresponding alcohol. The isolate, EBK-62, identified as Alternaria alternata, was found to be the most successful at reducing the ketone to the corresponding alcohol in the submerged culture. The reaction conditions were systematically optimized for the reducing agent A. alternata EBK-62, which showed high stereospecificity and good conversion for the reduction. The preparative scale study was carried out in a 2?L bioreactor and a total of 4.9?g of S-NE in optically pure form (>99% enantiomeric excess) was produced in 48?h. Chirality 28:669–673, 2016.

- Enantioselective transfer hydrogenation of various ketones with novel efficient iridium(III) ferrocenyl-phosphinite catalysts
-
The asymmetric reduction of prochiral ketones is a pivotal reaction for the preparation of chiral alcohols which form an extremely important class of intermediates for fine chemicals and pharmaceuticals. Especially, iridium-based asymmetric reduction of ketones to enantiomerically enriched alcohols has recently attracted important attention by a number of research groups and interest in this area is growing. Therefore, a series of novel neutral mononuclear iridium(III) ferrocenyl-phosphinite complexes have been prepared and applied in the iridium(III)-catalyzed asymmetric transfer hydrogenation (ATH) of ketones to give corresponding secondary alcohols with outstanding enantioselectivities and reactivities using 2-propanol as the hydrogen source (up to 99% ee and 99% conversion). It was seen that the substituents on the backbone of the ligands resulted in a significant effect on both the activity and % enantioselectivity. Furthermore, the structural elucidation of the complexes was carried out by elemental analysis, IR and multi-nuclear NMR spectroscopic data.

- Stereospecific Synthesis of Alkenes by Eliminative Cross-Coupling of Enantioenriched sp3-Hybridized Carbenoids
-
1-Aryl-1,2-dialkylethenes were generated by a sequence of electrophilic substitution, 1,2-metalate rearrangement, and β-elimination initiated by the addition of enantioenriched α-(carbamoyloxy)alkylboronates to enantioenriched lithiated carbamates. The carbenoid stereochemical pairing [i.e., “like”=(S)+(S) or “unlike”=(S)+(R)] and the elimination mechanism (syn or anti), not substituent effects, determined the configuration of the trisubstituted alkene target. For example, (Z)-2,5-diphenyl-2-pentene was produced in 70 % yield with E/Z=5:95 by a like combination of Li and B carbenoids and syn (thermal) elimination whereas the E isomer was obtained in the same yield with E/Z>98:2 by an otherwise identical process involving an unlike stereochemical pairing. The concept elaborated overcomes an intrinsic limitation of traditional strategies for direct connective alkene synthesis, which cannot realize meaningful stereochemical bias unless the alkene substituents are strongly differentiated.

- Mechanistic implications of the enantioselective addition of alkylzinc reagents to aldehydes catalyzed by nickel complexes with α-amino amide ligands
-
The enantioselective alkylation of aldehydes catalysed by nickel(ii)-complexes derived from α-amino amides was studied by means of density functional theory (DFT) and ONIOM (B3LYP:UFF) calculations. A mechanism was proposed in order to investigate the origin of enantioselectivity. The chirality-determining step for the alkylation was the formation of the intermediate complexes with the involvement of a 5/4/4-fused tricyclic transition state. The predominant products predicted theoretically were of (S)-configuration, in good agreement with experimental observations. The scope of the reaction was examined and high yields and enantioselectivities were observed for the enantioselective addition of Et2Zn and Me2Zn to aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes.

- Catalytic enantioselective acyl transfer: the case for 4-PPY with a C-3 carboxamide peptide auxiliary based on synthesis and modelling studies
-
A series of 4-pyrrolidinopyridine (4-PPY) C-3 carboxamides containing peptide-based side chains have been synthesised and evaluated in the kinetic resolution of a small library of chiral benzylic secondary alcohols. A key design element was the incorporation of a tryptophan residue in the peptide side chain for promoting π-stacking between peptide side chain and the pyridinium ring of the N-acyl intermediate, in which modelling was used as a structure-based guiding tool. Together, a catalyst containing a LeuTrp-N-Boc side chain (catalyst 8) was identified that achieved s-values up to and in slight excess of 10. A transition-state model based on the modelling is proposed to explain the origin of enantioselectivity. This study establishes the usefulness of modelling as a structure-based guiding tool for enantioselectivity optimization as well as the potential for developing scalable peptide-based DMAP-type catalysts for large-scale resolution work.

- Mechanochemical Enzymatic Kinetic Resolution of Secondary Alcohols under Ball-Milling Conditions

Mechanosynthesis is a valuable technique, offering attractive alternatives for the preparation of organic, inorganic, and organometallic products. Surprisingly, mechanochemical enzymatic transformations have only scarcely been studied until now. Here, we demonstrate the use of lipase B from Candida antarctica (CALB) in acylative kinetic resolutions of secondary alcohols in mixer and planetary mills. Despite the mechanical stress caused by the high-speed ball milling, the biocatalyst proved highly effective, stable, and, in part, recyclable under the applied mechanochemical conditions.
