Enantioenriched azido alcohols are precursors for valuable chiral aziridines and 1,2-amino alcohols, however their chiral substituted analogues are difficult to access. We established a cascade for the asymmetric azidohydroxylation of styrene derivatives leading to chiral substituted 1,2-azido alcohols via enzymatic asymmetric epoxidation, followed by regioselective azidolysis, affording the azido alcohols with up to two contiguous stereogenic centers. A newly isolated two-component flavoprotein styrene monooxygenase StyA proved to be highly selective for epoxidation with a nicotinamide coenzyme biomimetic as a practical reductant. Coupled with azide as a nucleophile for regioselective ring opening, this chemo-enzymatic cascade produced highly enantioenriched aromatic α-azido alcohols with up to >99% conversion. A bi-enzymatic counterpart with halohydrin dehalogenase-catalyzed azidolysis afforded the alternative β-azido alcohol isomers with up to 94% diastereomeric excess. We anticipate our biocatalytic cascade to be a starting point for more practical production of these chiral compounds with two-component flavoprotein monooxygenases.

(Figure presented) Enantioenriched allenylsilanes are used in three-component propargylatlon reactions with aldehydes and silyl ethers to form syn-homopropargylic ethers that contain an imbedded azide. These materials then undergo thermally Induced intram

Stereo specific tosylate (-OTs) or azide (N3-) substitution at the C-4 stereocenter of a monosubstituted 1,3,2λ5-dioxaphospholane (the equivalent of the C-2 stereocenter in an unsymmetrical 1,2-diol) is readily achieved by treatment with either P-toluenesulfonic acid (P-TsOH) in tetrahydrofuran solvent or P-TsOH/sodium azide in acetonitrile solvent, respectively.
