Kinetic resolution of racemic 1-(benzofuran-2-yl)ethanols rac-1a-d was performed by lipase-catalyzed enantiomer selective acylation (E?100) yielding (1R)-1-acetoxy-1-(benzofuran-2-yl)ethanes (R)-2a-d and (1S)-1-(benzofuran-2-yl)ethanols (S)-1a-d in highly enantiopure form. The degree of enantiomer selectivity for enzymatic alcoholysis/hydrolysis processes starting from racemic 1-acetoxy-1-(benzofuran-2-yl)ethane rac-2 was also tested under various conditions including supercritical CO2 medium. Racemization-free lipase-catalyzed ethanolysis of the (1R)-1-acetoxy-1-(benzofuran-2-yl)ethanes (R)-2a-d yielded almost quantitatively the enantiopure (1R)-1-(benzofuran-2-yl)ethanols (R)-1a-d.

Abstract: Chiral heterocyclic secondary alcohols have received much attention due to their widespread use in pharmaceutical intermediates. In this study, Lactobacillus kefiri P2 biocatalysts isolated from traditional dairy products, were used to catalyze the asymmetric reduction of prochiral ketones to chiral secondary alcohols. Secondary chiral carbinols were obtained by asymmetric bioreduction of different prochiral substrates with results up to > 99% enantiomeric excess (ee). (R)-1-(benzofuran-2-yl)ethanol 5a, which can be used in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals such as bufuralols potent nonselective β-blockers antagonists, Amiodarone (cardiac anti-arrhythmic), and Benziodarone (coronary vasodilator), was produced in gram-scale, high yield and enantiomerically pure form using L. kefiri P2 biocatalysts. The gram-scale production was carried out, and 9.70?g of (R)-5a in enantiomerically pure form was obtained in 96% yield. Also, production of (R)-5a in terms of yield and gram scale through catalytic asymmetric reduction using the biocatalyst was the highest report so far. This is a cost-effective, clean and eco-friendly process for the preparation of chiral secondary alcohols compared to chemical processes. From an environmental and economic perspective, this biocatalytic method has great application potential, making it a green and sustainable way of synthesis.

Paragraph 0038-0043; 0089-0093, (2021/05/29)
The invention discloses a method for synthesizing a chiral secondary alcohol compound. The method comprises the following step of: reacting a ketone compound in an aprotic organic solvent at room temperature and inert gas atmosphere under the action of a chiral cobalt catalyst and an activating agent by taking a combination of bis(pinacolato)diboron and alcohol or water as a reducing agent to obtain the chiral secondary alcohol compound. According to the method disclosed by the invention, a combination of pinacol diborate and alcohol or water which are cheap, stable and easy to obtain is taken as a reducing agent, and a ketone compound is efficiently reduced to synthesize a corresponding chiral secondary alcohol compound in an aprotic organic solvent under the action of a chiral cobalt catalyst; in a chiral cobalt catalyst adopted by the method, when a chiral ligand is PAOR, an activating agent is NaBHEt3 or NaOtBu and an adopted raw material is aromatic ketone, the yield is 80% or above, and the optical purity is 90% or above; and when the adopted raw material is alkane ketone, the yield can reach 70% or above, and the optical purity can reach 80% or above.

Three new dimeric bis-guanidinate zinc(II) alkyl, halide, and hydride complexes [LZnEt]2 (1), [LZnI]2 (2) and [LZnH]2 (3) were prepared. Compound 3 was successfully employed for the hydrosilylation and hydroboration of a vast number of ketones. The catalytic performance of 3 in the hydroboration of acetophenone exhibits a turnover frequency, reaching up to 5800 h-1, outperforming that of reported zinc hydride catalysts. Notably, both intra- and intermolecular chemoselective hydrosilylation and hydroboration reactions have been investigated.
