Evaluation of an esterase annotated as 26D isolated from a marine metagenomic library is described. Esterase 26D was found to have a unique substrate scope, including synthetic transformations which could not be readily effected in a synthetically useful manner using commercially available enzymes. Esterase 26D was more selective towards substrates which had larger, more sterically demanding substituents (i. e. iso-propyl or tert-butyl groups) on the β-carbon, which is in contrast to previously tested commercially available enzymes which displayed a preference for substrates with sterically less demanding substituents (e.g. methyl group) at the β-carbon.

Hydrolase catalysed kinetic resolutions leading to a series of 3-aryl alkanoic acids (≥94% ee) are described. Hydrolysis of the ethyl esters with a series of hydrolases was undertaken to identify biocatalysts that yield the corresponding acids with excellent enantiopurity in each case. Steric and electronic effects on the efficiency and enantioselectivity of the biocatalytic transformation were also explored.

Rhodium(II) acetate catalysed intramolecular Buchner cyclisation of a series of diazoketones 1 proceeds with excellent diastereoselectivity to produce the trans substituted azulenones 2, which exist as a rapidly equilibrating cycloheptatriene-norcaradiene system, from which the norcaradiene tautomers can be efficiently trapped as PTAD cycloadducts 4. The cyclisation-cycloaddition sequence can be conducted in either a stepwise or a tandem process, leading to the pentacyclic systems 4 as a single diastereomer in each case. In the reaction of diazoketone If intramolecular cyclopropanation competes with cyclisation to the aromatic ring.
Excellent stereocontrol in intramolecular Buchner cyclisations and subsequent cycloadditions; stereospecific construction of polycyclic systems

Highly diastereoselective rhodium(II) acetate-catalysed intramolecular addition of α-diazo ketones to aromatic rings to form the azulenones 3 has been achieved; the norcaradiene form of 3 undergoes efficient stereospecific cycloaddition with phenyltriazol
