Electrostatic interactions between a silylated isothiourea intermediate and an ester π system were explored by determining how variations in sterics and electronics affect the selectivity of a silylation-based kinetic resolution. Sterics on the π systems affect the selectivity factors of alkyl 2-hydroxycyclohexanecarboxylates, resulting in a strong correlation of selectivity factors to Charton values. Induction effects of electron-withdrawing substituents on phenyl esters significantly enhance selectivity supporting an edge to face π–π interaction. The linear free energy relationships that were uncovered will aid in future incorporation of intermolecular electrostatic interactions towards controlling asymmetric reactions.
Candida antarctica lipase B-catalyzed reactions of β-hydroxy esters: Competition of acylation and hydrolysis

The ester function of ethyl cis-(±)-2-hydroxycyclopentane-1- carboxylate [(±)-1] and ethyl (±)-5-hydroxycyclopent-1- enecarboxylate [(±)-2] was demonstrated to undergo hydrolysis, as a side-reaction, during asymmetric (E > 200) O-acylation with Candida antarctica lipase B (CAL-B) as catalyst and vinyl acetate as acyl donor in t-BuOMe at 30 C. This competition of acylation and undesirable hydrolysis draws attention to CAL-B-catalyzed non-hydrolytic resolutions where the substrates contain any hydrolysable functions. Enantiomerically enriched cis-2-hydroxycyclopentane-1-carboxylic acid (ee = 90%) and 5-hydroxycyclopent-1- enecarboxylic acid (ee = 47%) were prepared through de novo CAL-B-catalyzed hydrolysis of (±)-1 and (±)-2 with added H2O in t-BuOMe at 30 C.
Chiral Diphosphonites as Ligands in the Ruthenium-Catalyzed Enantioselective Reduction of Ketones, B-Ketoesters and Ketimines

Page/Page column 8-9, (2008/12/04)
Chiral ruthenium complexes are disclosed, obtained by reaction of a ruthenium salt with a chiral diphosphonite. Chiral diols with the general structure given in scheme 1 are preferably used as chiral diphosphonites. Said ruthenium complexes can be simply and economically obtained and provide high enantioselectivity on reduction of ketones, β-ketoesters and ketimines.
