One-pot multi-enzymatic synthesis of the four stereoisomers of 4-methylheptan-3-ol

The use of pheromones in the integrated pest management of insects is currently considered a sustainable and environmentally benign alternative to hazardous insecticides. 4-Methylheptan-3-ol is an interesting example of an insect pheromone, because its stereoisomers are active towards different species. All four possible stereoisomers of this compound were prepared from 4-methylhept-4-en-3-one by a one-pot procedure in which the two stereogenic centres were created during two sequential reductions catalysed by an ene-reductase (ER) and an alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH), respectively.

Synthesis and absolute configuration of (S)-(+)-chichimol ketone: the defensive secretion of walking stick Agathemera elegans

The first enantioselective synthesis of chichimol ketone (4-methyl-1-hepten-3-one) is described and the absolute configuration of the main semiochemical compound is determined as having an (S)-configuration. The synthesis features the use of a ruthenium c

Simple and efficient asymmetric α-alkylation and α,α- bisalkylation of acyclic ketones by using chiral N-amino cyclic carbamate hydrazones

(Chemical Equation Presented) Distinguishing left from right: In the title reactions, chiral N-amino cyclic carbamates (ACCs) substantially diminish the drawbacks associated with the use of chiral dialkyl hydrazines, yet provide excellent stereoselectivity and high yields. In addition, ACCs exhibit a unique directing effect that overrides the inherent selectivity of lithium diisopropylamide (LDA) and enables the asymmetric α,α-bisalkylation of ketones (see scheme).
