A novel, commercially available lipase enzyme panel performing kinetic bioresolutions of a number of secondary alcohols is reported. The secondary alcohols that have been chosen are known from the literature to be particularly challenging substrates to resolve. Following initial screening, four co-solvents were investigated for each lead enzyme in an effort to assess their tolerance to common organic solvents. The superiority of these novel enzymes over lipase B from Candida antarctica (CALB) has been demonstrated.

The first regiodivergent opening of unbiased epoxides providing the ring-opened products in high enantiomeric excess from racemic and exceptionally high enantiomeric excess from enantioenriched substrates in a double asymmetric process has been devised. It constitutes a more general case of the very important enantioselective openings of meso-epoxides. Copyright

Highly enantioenriched (E)-allylsilanes have been synthesized from optically active allylic alcohols on the basis of Pd-catalyzed intramolecular bis-silylation followed by highly stereo-specific Si-O elimination reactions. The method involves three steps: 1) O-disilanylation of the allylic alcohols with chlorodisilanes, 2) intramolecular bis-silylation in the presence of a 1,1,3,3-tetramethylbutyl isocyanide/[Pd-(acac)2] (acac = acetylacetonate) catalyst at 110°C, and 3) treatment of the reaction mixture with organolithium reagents. The overall transformation proceeds with nearly complete conservation of the enantiopurity of the starting allyl alcohols by transposition of the C=C bond. For instance, (R)-(E)-3-decen-2-ol (99.6-99.7 % ee) produced (S)-(E)-4-(organosilyl)-2-decene of 98.8-99.4% ee for a variety of silyl groups, including Me3Si, Me2PhSi, tBu-Me 2Si, Et3Si, and iPr3Si. In the bis-silylation step, the initially formed trans-1,2-oxasiletanes immediately dimerize to stereoselectively give 1,5-dioxa-2,6-disilacyclooctanes, which are isolated in high yield by carrying out the reaction at 70C. The eight-membered ring compounds undergo thermal extrusion of (E)-allylsilanes in high yield at 110°C, along with formation of 1,3- dioxa-2,5-disilacyclohexane derivatives. These in turn undergo a Peterson-type elimination by treatment with nucleophiles such as BuLi and PhLi to give the (E)-allylsilanes. All of the steps involved in the sequence proceed with extremely high stereoselectivity and stereospecificity, leading to almost complete 1,3-chirality transfer through the overall transformation. The dimerization step, which forms diastereomeric intermediates, allows the synthesis of a highly enantioenriched allylsilane (99.4% ee) from an optically active allylic alcohol with lower enantiopurity (79.2% ee) by enrichment of enantiopurity. A general method for the determination of the enantiomeric excesses of (E)-allylsilanes is also described in detail.
Synthesis of highly enantio-enriched allylsilanes via palladium-catalyzed intramolecular bis-silylation. Determination of the enantiomeric excesses through regio- and stereoselective hydroboration with 9-BBN

Highly enantio-enriched (E)-allylsilanes, were synthesized by palladium-catalyzed intramolecular bis-silylation of chiral allyl alcohols and subsequent Peterson-type elimination with organolithium reagents, The enantiomeric excesses of the allylsilanes were determined after hydroboration with 9-BBN followed by oxidation, revealing remarkably high stereospecificity for the present synthesis.
Chiral N,N-Dialkylnorephedrines as Catalysts of the Highly Enantioselective Addition of Dialkylzincs to Aliphatic and Aromatic Aldehydes. The Asymmetric Synthesis of Secondary Aliphatic and Aromatic Alcohols of High Optical Purity

The chiral N,N-dialkylnorephedrine-catalyzed addition of dialkylzincs to aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes afforded secondary alcohols of high optical purity (to > 95percent ee).Among the N,N-di(primary alkyl)norephedrines, N,N-di-n-butylnorephedrine (DBNE, 3d) was found to be the most effective catalyst. 1-Phenyl-2-(1-pyrrolidinyl)propan-1-ol (3i) and N,N-diallylnorephedrine (3j) were also highly effective catalysts.The method described provides optically active secondary aliphatic alcohols of high optical purity which cannot be prepared by conventional methods.
