Enantioselective oxidation of secondary alcohols by the flavoprotein alcohol oxidase from Phanerochaete chrysosporium

The enantioselective oxidation of secondary alcohols represents a valuable approach for the synthesis of optically pure compounds. Flavoprotein oxidases can catalyse such selective transformations by merely using oxygen as electron acceptor. While many flavoprotein oxidases preferably act on primary alcohols, the FAD-containing alcohol oxidase from Phanerochaete chrysosporium was found to be able to perform kinetic resolutions of several secondary alcohols. By selective oxidation of the (S)-alcohols, the (R)-alcohols were obtained in high enantiopurity. In silico docking studies were carried out in order to substantiate the observed (S)-selectivity. Several hydrophobic and aromatic residues in the substrate binding site create a cavity in which the substrates can comfortably undergo van der Waals and pi-stacking interactions. Consequently, oxidation of the secondary alcohols is restricted to one of the two enantiomers. This study has uncovered the ability of an FAD-containing alcohol oxidase, that is known for oxidizing small primary alcohols, to perform enantioselective oxidations of various secondary alcohols.

A phosphine-catalyzed intermolecular annulation reaction of functionalized ortho-aminoacetophenones with alkynones has been disclosed in this paper. A variety of 2-alkynylquinolines and benzo-fused indolizine were selectively afforded in moderate to good yields at different reaction temperatures and with different phosphine catalysts via the in situ generated zwitterionic intermediate derived from alkynone and phosphine.

The first diastereoselective synthesis of β-amino ketone and β-amino acid derivatives by palladium-catalyzed conjugate addition of arylboronic acids to chiral β-enamino ketones and β-enamino esters is reported. The catalytic system employing (S)-4-(tert-butyl)oxazolidin-2-one as the chiral auxiliary in water under an air atmosphere provides β-amino ketone and β-amino acid derivatives in high yields with excellent diastereoselectivity.

In the presence of molecular oxygen, a {001}-faceted nanocrystalline anatase TiO2 catalyst enabled the selective oxidation of nonactivated aliphatic alcohols to the corresponding aldehydes or ketones under visible light. The reaction shows excellent conversion and selectivity towards the formation of the carbonyl products without over-oxidation to the corresponding carboxylic acids. The exceptional reactivity of the catalyst is possibly due to the absorption of visible light originating from a stronger interaction of alcohol with the {001} facet, which facilitates the modification of the band structure of TiO2, thus facilitating the photogenerated hole transfer and subsequent oxidation processes. The experimental results have also been corroborated by first-principles quantum chemical DFT calculations.

, p. 1039 - 1044 (2016/02/18)
Palladium nanoparticles were first synthesized through the thermal decomposition method and subsequently immobilized on ordered mesoporous silica material, SBA-15, to afford PdO/SBA-15 catalyst. The synthesized catalyst was characterized by X-ray diffraction, nitrogen adsorption-desorption measurement, transmission electron microscopy, and inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry. The catalytic activity was tested for the aerobic oxidation of alcohols. Easy recovery, high yeilds and relatively short reaction times were observed for the mentioned catalyst.

α-Alkyl β-amino esters are available in high diastereoselectivity through a silicon-free Claisen enolate [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement of enamide esters. Optimisation studies have probed the crucial role of the initial enolisation and the nature of the enamide N-centre. The demonstration of chirality transfer and the formation of β-proline systems, is also presented.

A new synthetic strategy to access polysubstituted furans regiospecifically has been developed using simple bicyclic alkenes and terminal ynones as starting materials with palladacycles as unique active catalysts. A rational mechanism has also been proposed. This reaction features mild reaction conditions, easily available starting materials and palladacycle catalysts, a wide substrate scope, and high regiospecificity.
Structure-reactivity relationship for alcohol oxidations via hydride transfer to a carbocationic oxidizing agent

Second-order rate constants were determined for the oxidation of 27 alcohols (R1R2CHOH) by a carbocationic oxidizing agent, 9-phenylxanthylium ion, in acetontrile at 60°C. Alcohols include open-chain alkyl, cycloalkyl, and unsaturated alcohols. Kinetic isotope effects for the reaction of 1-phenylethanol were determined at three H/D positions of the alcohol (KIEα-D=3.9, KIEβ-D3=1.03, KIE OD=1.10). These KIE results are consistent with those we previously reported for the 2-propanol reaction, suggesting that these reactions follow a hydride-proton sequential transfer mechanism that involves a rate-limiting formation of the α-hydroxy carbocation intermediate. Structure-reactivity relationship for alcohol oxidations was deeply discussed on the basis of the observed structural effects on the formation of the carbocationic transition state (Cδ+-OH). Efficiencies of alcohol oxidations are largely dependent upon the alcohol structures. Steric hindrance effect and ring strain relief effect win over the electronic effect in determining the rates of the oxidations of open-chain alkyl and cycloalkyl alcohols. Unhindered secondary alkyl alcohols would be selectively oxidized in the presence of primary and hindered secondary alkyl alcohols. Strained C7-C11 cycloalkyl alcohols react faster than cyclohexyl alcohol, whereas the strained C5 and C12 alcohols react slower. Aromatic alcohols would be efficiently and selectively oxidized in the presence of aliphatic alcohols of comparable steric requirements. This structure-reactivity relationship for alcohol oxidations via hydride-transfer mechanism is hoped to provide a useful guidance for the selective oxidation of certain alcohol functional groups in organic synthesis.

Sn/Li exchange reactions in 1,ω-distannylated conjugated trienes and tetraenes: An enabling step for polyene synthesis
Burghart, Jochen,Brueckner, Reinhard
experimental part, p. 150 - 165 (2011/03/18)
Successive treatments of (1E,3E,5E)- or (1E,3Z,5E)-1,6-bis(tributylstannyl) hexa-1,3,5-triene with nBuLi and butanal rendered polyenyl alcohols resulting from one Sn/Li exchange reaction and exhibiting complete retention of the configuration of all C=C bonds. Mono- or dimethylated all-E-configured 1,6-distannylated conjugated trienes as well as all-E-1,8-bis(tributylstannyl) octa-1,3,5,7-tetraene and dimethylated congeners thereof reacted similarly. The respective Sn/Li exchange reactions affected the substructure Bu 3Sn-CH=CH with a 93-94:7-6 preference over Bu3Sn-CMe=CH and with a 90:10 preference over Bu3Sn-CH=CMe. all-E-1-Lithio-6- (tributylstannyl)hexa-1,3,5-triene was incorporated into navenone B after Negishi coupling and into (-)-cicutoxin after acylation. NMR spectroscopy of our navenone B specimen revealed that certain resonances were misassigned previously. Molecular tinkertoy: all-E-1,6-(Tributylstannyl)hexa-1,3,5-triene, all-E-1,8-(tributylstannyl)octa-1,3,5,7-tetraene, and related bis(tributylstannylated) polyenes undergomono-Sn/Li exchange reactions. They set the stage for terminus-differentiating functionalizations, which provide inter alianavenone B and (-)-cicutoxin.

We had previously demonstrated the utility of N-vinylpyridinium tetrafluoroborate salts as novel electrophilic coupling partners in Pd(0)-catalyzed Suzuki cross-coupling reactions with aryl and vinyl boronic acids. We now report that these crystalline, air-stable, and non-hygroscopic salts are also useful reagents for the synthesis of symmetrical (2E,4E)-1,6-dioxo-2,4-dienes (diene diones), which in turn are valuable starting materials for the synthesis of various five-membered heterocycles. The optimization of reaction conditions and the scope and limitations of the reductive dimerization are discussed.
