The synthesis of (E)-1-bromo-3-ethyl-3-pentene 1 is described in which the (E)-stereochemistry of the alkene is set up via a diastereoselective glyoxylate ene reaction.

Enantioselective distribution of amino-alcohols in a liquid-liquid two-phase system containing dialkyl L-tartrate and boric acid
Racemic amino-alcohols such as pindolol, propranolol, alprenolol and bucumolol enantiomers exhibited different distribution behaviors in a two-phase system consisting of a chloroform solution of didodecyl L-tartrate and an aqueous solution of boric acid. It seemed that a borate complex of the 1,2-diol group of the tartrate and the amino-alcohol was formed in the system. In the case of pindolol, one enantiomer was preferentially extracted into the organic phase (x 2.20) at equilibrium.

A CONVENIENT METHOD FOR ENZYMATIC BENZYL-ALKYL TRANSESTERIFICATION UNDER MILD NEUTRAL CONDITIONS
Lipases from Candida cylindracea and from Pseudomonas fluorescens efficiently catalyse the benzyl to alkyl transesterification in organic solvents under mild conditions in nearly quantitative yields.
