Chemo- and regioselectivity in a heterogeneously catalyzed cross aldol reaction were directed by tuning the nature of the sites, textural properties, and reaction conditions. Catalysts included sulfonic acid-functionalized resins or SBA-15 with varying particle size or pore diameter, H-BEA zeolites, and Sn-BEA zeotype; conditions were 25 °C to 170 °C in organic media. Benzaldehyde and 2-butanone yielded branched (reaction at -CH2- of butanone) and linear (reaction at -CH3) addition and condensation products; and fission of the branched aldol led to β-methyl styrene and acetic acid. Strong acids promoted the dehydration step, and regioselectivity originated from preferred formation of the branched aldol. Both, resins and functionalized SBA-15 materials yielded predominantly the branched condensation product, unless particle morphology or temperature moved the reaction into the diffusion-limited regime, in which case more fission products were formed, corresponding to Wheeler Type II selectivity. For H-form zeolites, fission of the branched aldol competed with dehydration of the linear aldol, possibly because weaker acidity or steric restrictions prevented dehydration of the branched aldol.

The design of catalytic oxidative methodologies in aqueous medium under mild reaction conditions and using molecular oxygen as final electron acceptor represents a suitable alternative to the traditional oxidative transformations. These methods are especially relevant if other functionalities that can be oxidized are present within the same molecule, as in the case of allylic alcohols. Herein we apply a simple chemoenzymatic system composed of the laccase from Trametes versicolor and 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidinyloxy radical (TEMPO) to oxidize a series of racemic allylic sec-alcohols into the corresponding α,β-unsaturated ketones. Afterward, these compounds react with different commercially available ene-reductases to afford the corresponding saturated ketones. Remarkably, in the case of trisubstituted alkenes, the bioreduction reaction occurred with high stereoselectivity. Overall, a bienzymatic one-pot two-step sequential strategy has been described with respect to the synthesis of saturated ketones starting from racemic allylic alcohols, thus resembling the metal-catalyzed redox isomerizations of these derivatives that have been previously reported in the literature.
