The chiral vicinal C-O/C-N bifunctional groups generated from enzymatic hydrocyanation represents a useful methodology. However, construction of the pharmacophore of β2-adrenoreceptor agonists with this method remains a great challenge because of complete racemization of the benzylic alcohol during deprotection of the acetal groups. In this study, structure-guided redesign of a hydroxynitrile lyase originating from Prunus communis (PcHNL5) enables a highly enantioselective hydrocyanation of rigid benzo-ketal aldehyde which was proved to be resistant against racemization during the deprotection step, with dramatically improved productivity (>95% conversion vs 2-adrenoreceptor agonist, in an optically pure form (>99% ee) with an overall yield of 54%, which is the highest value reported.

A new hydroxynitrile lyase (HNL) was isolated from the seed of Japanese apricot (Prunus mume). The enzyme has similar properties with HNL isolated from other Prunus species and is FAD containing enzyme. It accepts a large number of unnatural substrates (benzaldehyde and its variant) for the addition of HCN to produce the corresponding cyanohydrins in excellent optical and chemical yields. A new HPLC based enantioselective assay technique was developed for the enzyme, which promotes the addition of KCN to benzaldehyde in a buffered solution (pH=4.5).
Chiral sulfoxide ligands in catalytic asymmetric cyanohydrin synthesis

A novel chiral sulfoxide-containing ligand for the catalytic addition of trimethylsilylcyanide to aldehydes is reported. The sulfoxide moiety was found to be vital for reactivity.
Photoremovable Protecting Groups for Phosphorylation of Chiral Alcohols. Asymmetric Synthesis of Phosphotriesters of (-)-3',5'-Dimethoxybenzoin

Procedures have been developed for the preparation of dimethoxybenzoinyl (DMB) phosphate triesters that can be deprotected photochemically.These compounds can be useful in light-directed synthesis and caging.The photochemistry of a wide variety of fluorine-, oxygen-, and nitrogen-substituted benzoin acetates was examined to determine the substitution pattern in the nonacylated aromatic ring producing optimum chemical yields.Two groups, 2',3'-dimethoxybenzoin and 3',5'-dimethoxybenzoin, were found to give the highest yields of the benzofuran product and were further developed for the photochemical deprotection of phosphate esters.These reactions could not be quenched, suggesting a singlet photosolvolysis mechanism.An asymmetric synthesis of 3',5'-dimethoxybenzoin via the benzaldehyde cyanohydrin was developed that minimizes the number of diastereomers formed in the phosphorylation of chiral alcohols.A phosphoramidite reagent for the derivatization of alcohols was prepared and used to produce scalemic dimethoxybenzoinyl phosphate esters from pantolactone and glycerol, serine, and tyrosine derivatives.These compounds were deprotected photochemically to produce the phosphodiesters in high yield.
