The bacterial deacetylase LpxC is a promising target for the development of antibiotics selectively combating Gram-negative bacteria. To improve the biological activity of the reported benzyloxyacetohydroxamic acid 9 ((S)-N-hydroxy-2-{2-hydroxy-1-[4-(phenylethynyl)phenyl]ethoxy}acetamide), its hydroxy group was replaced by a triazole ring. Therefore, in divergent syntheses, triazole derivatives exhibiting rigid and flexible lipophilic side chains, different configurations at their stereocenter, and various substitution patterns at the triazole ring were synthesized, tested for antibacterial and LpxC inhibitory activity, and structure-activity relationships were deduced based on docking and binding energy calculations.

Both the activity and regioselectivity of Phaseolus vulgaris epoxide hydrolase were remarkably improved via reshaping two substrate tunnels based on rational design. The elegant one-step enantioconvergent hydrolysis of seven rac-epoxides was achieved by single mutants, allowing green and efficient access to valuable (R)-1,2 diols with high eep (90.1-98.3%) and yields.

Enantioconvergent hydrolysis by epoxide hydrolase is a promising method for the synthesis of important vicinal diols. However, the poor regioselectivity of the naturally occurring enzymes results in low enantioconvergence in the enzymatic hydrolysis of styrene oxides. Herein, modulated residue No. 263 was redesigned based on structural information and a smart variant library was constructed by site-directed modification using an “optimized amino acid alphabet” to improve the regioselectivity of epoxide hydrolase from Vigna radiata (VrEH2). The regioselectivity coefficient (r) of variant M263Q for the R-isomer of meta-substituted styrene oxides was improved 40–63-fold, and variant M263V also exhibited higher regioselectivity towards the R-isomer of para-substituted styrene oxides compared with the wild type, which resulted in improved enantioconvergence in hydrolysis of styrene oxide scaffolds. Structural insight showed the crucial role of residue No. 263 in modulating the substrate binding conformation by altering the binding surroundings. Furthermore, increased differences in the attacking distance between nucleophilic residue Asp101 and the two carbon atoms of the epoxide ring provided evidence for improved regioselectivity. Several high-value vicinal diols were readily synthesized (>88% yield, 90%–98% ee) by enantioconvergent hydrolysis using the reprogrammed variants. These findings provide a successful strategy for enhancing the enantioconvergence of native epoxide hydrolases through key single-site mutation and more powerful enzyme tools for the enantioconvergent hydrolysis of styrene oxide scaffolds into single (R)-enantiomers of chiral vicinal diols.

The enantioselective reduction of α-hydroxy ketones with catecholborane has been developed employing 5 mol% of an 1,1′-bi-2-naphthol (BINOL)-derived ion-pair organocatalyst. This methodology provides a straightforward access to the corresponding aromatic 1,2-diols in high yields (up to 90%) with excellent enantioselectivities (up to 97%). Furthermore, the α-amino ketones also could be reduced with moderate ee values under mild reaction condition. (Figure presented.).

We report the first examples of ruthenium complexes cis-[(N4)RuIIICl2]+ and cis-[(N4)RuII(OH2)2]2+ supported by chiral tetradentate amine ligands (N4), together with a high-valent cis-dioxo complex cis-[(N4)RuVI(O)2]2+ supported by the chiral N4 ligand mcp (mcp = N,N′-dimethyl-N,N′-bis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)cyclohexane-1,2-diamine). The X-ray crystal structures of cis-[(mcp)RuIIICl2](ClO4) (1a), cis-[(Me2mcp)RuIIICl2]ClO4 (2a) and cis-[(pdp)RuIIICl2](ClO4) (3a) (Me2mcp = N,N′-dimethyl-N,N′-bis((6-methylpyridin-2-yl)methyl)cyclohexane-1,2-diamine, pdp = 1,1′-bis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)-2,2′-bipyrrolidine)) show that the ligands coordinate to the ruthenium centre in a cis-α configuration. In aqueous solutions, proton-coupled electron-transfer redox couples were observed for cis-[(mcp)RuIII(O2CCF3)2]ClO4 (1b) and cis-[(pdp)RuIII(O3SCF3)2]CF3SO3 (3c′). Electrochemical analyses showed that the chemically/electrochemically generated cis-[(mcp)RuVI(O)2]2+ and cis-[(pdp)RuVI(O)2]2+ complexes are strong oxidants with E° = 1.11-1.13 V vs. SCE (at pH 1) and strong H-atom abstractors with DO-H = 90.1-90.8 kcal mol-1. The reaction of 1b or its (R,R)-mcp counterpart with excess (NH4)2[CeIV(NO3)6] (CAN) in aqueous medium afforded cis-[(mcp)RuVI(O)2](ClO4)2 (1e) or cis-[((R,R)-mcp)RuVI(O)2](ClO4)2 (1e?), respectively, a strong oxidant with E(RuVI/V) = 0.78 V (vs. Ag/AgNO3) in acetonitrile solution. Complex 1e oxidized various hydrocarbons, including cyclohexane, in acetonitrile at room temperature, affording alcohols and/or ketones in up to 66% yield. Stoichiometric oxidations of alkenes by 1e or 1e? in tBuOH/H2O (5:1 v/v) afforded diols and aldehydes in combined yields of up to 98%, with moderate enantioselectivity obtained for the reaction using 1e?. The cis-[(pdp)RuII(OH2)2]2+ (3c)-catalysed oxidation of saturated C-H bonds, including those of ethane and propane, with CAN as terminal oxidant was also demonstrated.

A kinetic resolution of 1,2-diols bearing both a secondary and a primary alcohol motif through an N-heterocyclic carbene-catalyzed oxidative acylation reaction has been developed. A site- and enantioselective esterification reaction is involved for this process. Both the monoacylated diols obtained and the remaining enantioenriched 1,2-diols are versatile building blocks for the preparation of functional molecules with proven biological activities.

, p. 816 - 827 (2016/03/15)
A procedure for the intermolecular enantioselective dioxygenation of alkenes under iodine(III) catalysis has been developed. This protocol employs Selectfluor as the terminal oxidant together with a defined C 2-symmetric aryl iodide as the organocatalyst. This enantioselective reaction proceeds under mild conditions and converts a series of terminal and internal styrenes into the corresponding vicinal diacetoxylation products with up to 96% ee.

, p. 413 - 417 (2016/01/25)
Molecular structures of the most prominent chiral non-racemic hypervalent iodine(III) reagents to date have been elucidated for the first time. The formation of a chirally induced supramolecular scaffold based on a selective hydrogen-bonding arrangement provides an explanation for the consistently high asymmetric induction with these reagents. As an exploratory example, their scope as chiral catalysts was extended to the enantioselective dioxygenation of alkenes. A series of terminal styrenes are converted into the corresponding vicinal diacetoxylation products under mild conditions and provide the proof of principle for a truly intermolecular asymmetric alkene oxidation under iodine(I/III) catalysis.

The development of environmentally benign catalysts for highly enantioselective asymmetric cis-dihydroxylation (AD) of alkenes with broad substrate scope remains a challenge. By employing [FeII(L)(OTf)2] (L=N,N′-dimethyl-N,N′-bis(2-methyl-8-quinolyl)-cyclohexane-1,2-diamine) as a catalyst, cis-diols in up to 99.8 % ee with 85 % isolated yield have been achieved in AD of alkenes with H2O2as an oxidant and alkenes in a limiting amount. This “[FeII(L)(OTf)2]+H2O2” method is applicable to both (E)-alkenes and terminal alkenes (24 examples >80 % ee, up to 1 g scale). Mechanistic studies, including18O-labeling, UV/Vis, EPR, ESI-MS analyses, and DFT calculations lend evidence for the involvement of chiral FeIII-OOH active species in enantioselective formation of the two C?O bonds.
