Microbial Resolution and Asymmetric Oxidation Related to Optically Active 1,2-Bis(methoxyphenyl)ethane-1,2-diol

Article abstract of DOI:10.1039/c39890000754

An efficient microbial resolution of 1,2-bis-(methoxyphenyl)ethane-1,2-diol (2) has been achieved by exposing the corresponding diacetate to Trichoderma viride (T. konigii); stereoselective epoxidation of allylic alcohols and oxidation of sulphides are achieved with Bu^tOOH using Ti(OPrⁱ)4-optically active diols (2) as chiral catalysts.
