A series of γ-butyrolactone derivatives, including some spiranic ones, was obtained through desymmetrization of the corresponding prochiral 3-substituted cyclobutanones via Baeyer–Villiger monooxygenase (BVMO)-catalyzed oxidation. After reaction optimization using several commercial enzymes, both antipodes of various lactones were synthesized in most cases with >90% conversion and >80% enantiomeric excess under mild reaction conditions. In some cases alcohol formation was also observed (up to 40% conversion) as an undesired side reaction due to the presence of alcohol dehydrogenases in these preparations. Selected transformations were achieved on a 100 mg scale showing the possibilities of these oxidative biocatalysts as a new source of highly interesting compounds.

A total synthesis in solution and a conformational analysis of the homo-oligomers of (4R)-(2-oxo-1,3-oxazolidin-4-yl)-acetic acid (D-Oxac) to the tetramer level are described. As the D-Oxac building block contains both an oxazolidin-2-one and a β-amino acid group, it may represent a new type of conformationally constrained tool for the construction of β-pseudopeptide foldamers. A conformational investigation using NMR and an extensive, unconstrained analysis with a Monte Carlo search to the octamer level, both in water and in chloroform, showed that these homo-oligomers tend to fold in a regular helical structure in a competitive solvent, such as water. Since aqueous solutions are of major relevance for biological systems, these molecules are good candidates for application to these environments.
A new entry to polyfunctionalized 4,5-trans disubstituted oxazolidin-2-ones from L-aspartic acid

A straightforward synthesis of enantiomerically pure (4R,5S)-5-oxazolidinecarboxylic acid, 2-oxo-4-[(t-butyldimethyl-silyloxy)methyl]-, benzyl ester and of (4S,5S)-4-oxazolidinecarboxylic acid, 2-oxo-5-[(t-butyldimethylsilyloxy)methyl]-, benzyl ester was envisaged starting from readily available L-aspartic acid. The key step is the diastereoselective addition of iodine with the introduction of a new stereogenic centre.
