Wild-type P450-BM3 is able to catalyze in a highly regio- and diastereoselective manner the oxidative hydroxylation of non-activated disubstituted cyclohexane derivatives lacking any functional groups, including cis- and trans-1,2-dimethylcyclohexane, cis- and trans-1,4-dimethylcyclohexane, and trans-1,4-methylisopropylcyclohexane. In all cases except chiral trans-1,2-dimethylcyclohexane as substrate, the single hydroxylation event at a methylene group induces desymmetrization with simultaneous creation of three centers of chirality. Certain mutants increase selectivity, setting the stage for future directed evolution work.
The selective functionalization of saturated hydrocarbons. Part 36. Stereoselectivity studies of Gif-type reactions

The stereoselectivity of various Gif-type reactions was evaluated using trans-1,4-dimethylcyclohexane as a chemical probe. The results revealed that these reactions were moderately stereoselective. The outcome of the reactions was preferentially formed in the more stable equatorial configuration.

Various systems for the selective oxidation of saturated hydrocarbons have been developed.These are based on the idea of an iron catalyst which is reduced by electron transfer and oxidized by molecular oxygen simultaneously in the presence of a source of protons.Four modifications of this system (the Gif system) have been devised of which the best (Gif IV) consists of an iron catalyst with metallic zinc as the reductant, acetic acid as the proton source and pyridine as the solvent.At room temperature, using oxygen or air, saturated hydrocarbons are oxidized selectively to ketones in isolated yields superior to those reported for comparable model systems.
Directing Effects in Homogeneous Hydrogenation with PF6

, p. 2655 - 2661 (2007/10/02)
The presence of a ligating group, e.g., OH, CO2Me, C=O, or OMe, on an olefinic substrate is shown to direct the attack of the hydrogenation catalyst PF6/H2/CH2Cl2 from the face of the molecule containing the directing group.Isomerization is a minor side reaction in the cases studied.The origin of this effect is discussed and a model intermediate isolated.
