A working partnership: Metal-ligand cooperativity is responsible for the high activity of the rhodium amido complex 1 in the dehydrogenative coupling of primary alcohols with water, methanol, or amines, including ammonia (see scheme), to give carboxylic acids, methyl carboxylates, or amides, respectively. The catalysis proceeds under mild reaction conditions in the presence of a recyclable hydrogen acceptor A. The multistep mechanism was elucidated by computational methods.

D-Glyceric acid is a useful chiral synthon in synthetic organic chemistry.To produce D-glycerate cheaply, microorganisms that convert L-tartrate into D-glycerate with good yields and selectivity were isolated from soil samples.One microorganism obtained was identified as a strain of Pseudomonas sp. group Ve-2 and found to produce a new enzyme, L-tartrate decarboxylase.This enzyme catalyzes the direct conversion of L-tartrate into D-glycerate, with almost 100percent selectivity.In the presence of a cell-extract of Pseudomonas sp. group Ve-2, the amount of D-glycerate produced from L-tartrate reached 53 g/l under the best conditions examined, with a molar yield of almost 100percent and an optical purity of more than 92percent e.e.
