This paper presents the chemoenzymatic synthesis of D-fructose analogues substituted at position C6. These compounds are the unique products of rabbit muscle aldolase catalyzed aldolisation of D-glyceraldehyde analogues (obtained by stereospecific chemical synthesis) with DHAP, followed by a dephosphorylation step with acid phosphatase.

The first total synthesis of tetrahydrobenzo[a]anthraquinone natural product (±)-zenkequinone B (1) is reported. The key step involves the TiCl4-promoted intramolecular cyclization of 4-aryl-2-hydroxybutanal diethyl acetal 4 to give compound 3.

This paper describes a chemoenzymatic procedure for the synthesis of (R)- and (S)-glycidaldehyde diethyl acetal (4 and 5). 2-Acetoxy-3-chloropropanal diethyl acetal (1c) was enantioselectively hydrolyzed by LP-80 lipase to give (S)-3-chloro-2-hydroxypropanal diethyl acetal (2c) and the unreacted acetate (3c), both in >95percent calculated yield and >98percent ee.Both products were subsequently converted to epoxides 4 and 5, respectively.Resolutions of 2-acetoxy-1-(benzyloxy)-3-chloropropane (11a) and 3-(allyloxy)-2-acetoxypropyl p-toluenesulfonate (14b) were similarly carried out to give the corresponding optically active 2-hydroxy and 2-acetoxy derivatives in 90percent and >95percent ee.These products were subsequently converted to the corresponding 1,2-epoxides.Nucleophilic opening of epoxide 4 was exemplified by the syntheses of (R)-3-azido-2-hydroxypropanal and D-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate.Conversion of the chiral epoxides to thiirane and aziridine was also described.
