FACILE SYNTHESIS OF α-HYDROXY CARBONYL COMPOUNDS BY ENOLATE OXIDATION WITH DIMETHYLDIOXIRANE
Guertin, Kevin R.,Chan, Tak-Hang
, p. 715 - 718 (1991)
The direct oxidation of enolates with dimethyldioxirane (as a solution in acetone) provides the α-hydroxy derivatives in excellent yield.
Regioselective Hydroperoxylation of Aziridines and Epoxides Only with Aqueous Hydrogen Peroxide

, p. 391 - 404 (2021/11/01)
A catalyst and organic solvent-free regioselective hydroperoxylation of aziridines and epoxides, including spiroaziridine- and spiroepoxy oxindoles have been explored with commercially available 50% aq. H2O2. This method provides an access to secondary benzylic β-hydroperoxy amines and -alcohols and tertiary 3-hydroperoxy oxindoles. The protocol is also applicable to the less reactive alkyl aziridines. Furthermore, an acid-catalyzed Kornblum-DeLaMare type rearrangement of secondary benzylic hydroperoxide has also been revealed to afford amino- and hydroxyl ketones. (Figure presented.).

In this paper, we designed and synthesized a new type of cyclic carbonates, allenylethylene carbonates (AECs). With AECs as reactive precursors, we developed palladium-catalyzed (3+3) annulation of AECs with nitrile oxides. Various AECs worked well in this reaction under mild reaction conditions. A variety of 5,6-dihydro-1,4,2-dioxazine derivatives with allenyl quaternary stereocenters can be accessed in a facile manner in high yields (≤98%).

Enantiopure (R)- and (S)-2-phenylglycinols are important chiral building blocks for pharmaceutical manufacturing. Several chemical and enzymatic methods for their synthesis were reported, either involving multi-step synthesis or starting from a relatively complex chemical. Here, we developed one-pot simple syntheses of enantiopure (R)- and (S)-2-phenylglycinols from cheap starting materials and renewable feedstocks. Enzyme cascades consisting of epoxidation-hydrolysis-oxidation-transamination were developed to convert styrene 2 a to (R)- and (S)-2-phenylglycinol 1 a, with butanediol dehydrogenase for alcohol oxidation as well as BmTA and NfTA for (R)- and (S)-enantioselective transamination, respectively. The engineered E. coli strains expressing the cascades produced 1015 mg/L (R)-1 a in >99% ee and 315 mg/L (S)-1 a in 91% ee, respectively, from styrene 2 a. The same cascade also converted substituted styrenes 2 b–k and indene 2 l into substituted (R)-phenylglycinols 1 b–k and (1R, 2R)-1-amino-2-indanol 1 l in 95–>99% ee. To transform bio-based L-phenylalanine 6 to (R)-1 a and (S)-1 a, (R)- and (S)-enantioselective enzyme cascades for deamination-decarboxylation-epoxidation-hydrolysis-oxidation-transamination were developed. The engineered E. coli strains produced (R)-1 a and (S)-1 a in high ee at 576 mg/L and 356 mg/L, respectively, from L-phenylalanine 6, as the first synthesis of these compounds from a bio-based chemical. Finally, L-phenylalanine biosynthesis pathway was combined with (R)- or (S)-enantioselective cascade in one strain or coupled strains, to achieve the first synthesis of (R)-1 a and (S)-1 a from a renewable feedstock. The coupled strain approach enhanced the production, affording 274 and 384 mg/L (R)-1 a and 274 and 301 mg/L (S)-1 a, from glucose and glycerol, respectively. The developed methods could be potentially useful to produce these high-value chemicals from cheap starting materials and renewable feedstocks in a green and sustainable manner. (Figure presented.).
