A ruthenium complex formed from commercially available [Ru(p-cymene)Cl 2]2 and 1,4-bis(diphenylphosphino)butane catalyzes the racemization of aromatic α-hydroxy ketones very efficiently at room temperature. The racemization is fully compatible with a kinetic resolution catalyzed by a lipase from Pseudomonas stutzeri. This is the first example of dynamic kinetic resolution of α-hydroxy ketones at ambient temperature in which the metal and enzyme catalysts work in concert in one pot at room temperature to give quantitative yields of esters of α-hydroxy ketones with very high enantioselectivity.
Solution-phase synthesis and evaluation of tetraproline chiral stationary phases

A protocol was developed for the solution-phase synthesis of multigram amounts of two 9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl (Fmoc)-protected tetraproline peptides. These tetraproline peptides were then attached to amino derivatized silica gel. The replacement of the Fmoc group with the trimethylacetyl group lead to two tetraproline chiral stationary phases (CSPs). A comparison of the chromatographic behavior of these two solution-phase-synthesized tetraproline CSPs with that prepared by stepwise solid-phase synthesis revealed that all three had similar chromatographic performance for resolving 53 model analytes. This suggests that the solution-phase synthesis of oligoprolines, which allows for the specific benefits of good batch reproducibility, selector homogeneity, and possibly low cost, is a feasible alternative to the solid-phase synthesis of oligoproline CSPs.

Lipase TL-mediated kinetic resolution of benzoin: Facile synthesis of (1R,2S)-erythro-2-amino-1,2-diphenylethanol

The lipase TL-mediated kinetic resolution of (±)-benzoin (1) proceeded to give the corresponding optically pure benzoin (R)-1. On the other hand, (S)-benzoin-O-acetate (5) could be hydrolyzed without epimerization to give (S)-benzoin (S)-1, under alkaline conditions. Further, (R)-1 was converted to (1R,2S)-2-amino-1,2-diphenylethanol (99:1 er) according to the procedure reported previously. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.
