Flock, Susanne,Frauenrath, Herbert,Wattenbach, Carsten
, p. 3394 - 3399 (2005)
5-Methyl-4H-1,3-dioxins obtained by asymmetric double-bond isomerization have been transformed into 4-hydroxymethyl-4-methyl-1,3-dioxolanes by m-chloroperbenzoic acid oxidation, ring contraction and reduction. The stereochemical course of this transformat
Selectivity enhancement of enantio- and stereo-complementary epoxide hydrolases and chemo-enzymatic deracemization of (±)-2-methylglycidyl benzyl ether
Simeo, Yolanda,Faber, Kurt
, p. 402 - 409 (2006)
The kinetic resolution of (±)-2-methylglycidyl benzyl ether was achieved via enantioselective biohydrolysis using microbial and plant epoxide hydrolases. Depending on the type of enzyme, opposite enantiopreference and stereo-complementary mode of action (

(Figure Presented) Enantioselective total syntheses of the proposed structures of macrolide cytotoxic agents iriomoteolide-1a and -1b have been accomplished. The synthesis was carried out in a convergent and stereoselective manner. However, the present wo

experimental part, p. 833 - 840 (2009/07/05)
A non-lipase-based, enantiocomplementary chemoenzymatic route towards enantiopure (R)- and (S)-chromane-methanol (12), which are the key building blocks for the synthesis of stereoisomerically pure α-tocopherols, has been achieved by the biocatalytic reso
Chemo-enzymatic enantioconvergent synthesis of C4-building blocks containing a fully substituted chiral carbon center using bacterial epoxide hydrolases

A highly efficient chemo-enzymatic asymmetric synthesis of chiral C4-building blocks containing a fully substituted carbon center is reported. The key transformation consists of a deracemization based on an enantioconvergent asymmetric hydrolys

This report describes the gram scale synthesis of (S)- and (R)-2,2,4-trimethyl-4-(hydroxymethyl)-1,3-dioxolanes using the Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation (AD) of the Weinreb amide of 2-methyl-2-propenoic acid. The 2-methylglycerol acetonides resultan
Enantioselective hydrolysis of functionalized 2,2-disubstituted oxiranes with bacterial epoxide hydrolases
Steinreiber, Andreas,Osprian, Ingrid,Mayer, Sandra F.,Orru, Romano V. A.,Faber, Kurt
, p. 3703 - 3711 (2007/10/03)
The biohydrolysis of 2,2-disubstituted oxiranes bearing various oxygen functional groups was investigated using the epoxide hydrolase activity of 11 bacterial strains. The results show that the activity and the selectivity strongly depend on the substrate structure and the biocatalyst. Whereas substrates possessing free hydroxyl groups were not transformed, their analogs, protected as ethers, were well accepted. This allowed the convenient modulation of the enantioselectivity by proper choice of the ether group according to size and polarity. It was found that the distance of the ether-oxygen to the stereogenic quaternary carbon center of the oxirane ring had a profound influence on the enantioselectivity, and several oxiranes were resolved with good to excellent selectivities. The enantiomerically enriched epoxides and vicinal diols thus obtained contain a useful 'synthetic handle' in their side chain, which allows their use as building blocks in asymmetric synthesis.
