Structurally diverse γ- and δ-lactones were efficiently synthesized stereoselectively using an engineered carbonyl reductase from Serratia marcescens (SmCRV4). SmCRV4 exhibited improved activity (up to 500-fold) and thermostability toward 14 γ-/δ-keto acids and esters, compared with the wild-type enzyme, with 110-fold enhancement in catalytic efficiency (kcat/Km) toward methyl 4-oxodecanoate. The preparative synthesis of alkyl and aromatic γ- and δ-lactones with 95 %–>99 % ee and 78 %–90 % yields was demonstrated. The highest space-time yield, 1175 g L?1 d?1, was achieved for (R)-γ-decalactone.

A small molecule containing a rhodium(II) tetracarboxylate fragment is shown to be a potent inhibitor of the prolyl isomerase FKBP12. The use of small molecules conjugates of rhodium(II) is presented as a general strategy for developing new protein inhibi

The enantioselective preparation of both enantiomers of a C2-symmetric diphenyl-bidihydropyran 3 and 4 is described.The application of enantiopure bi-dihydropyrans 1-4 towards the simultaneous enantioselective differentiation and regioselective protection of a range of cyclic and acyclic symmetrical polyols (23, 37, 43, 45, 54, 61 and 66) is investigated.Several deprotections utilising trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) and a transketalisation with acidic glycerol are presented.
