The absolute stereochemistry of chiral carboxylic acids is determined as a di(1-naphthyl)methanol ester derivative. Computational scoring of conformations favoring either P or M helicity of the naphthyl groups, capable of exciton-coupled circular dichroic coupling, leads to a predicted stereochemistry for the derivatized carboxylic acids.

The β2-adrenergic receptor (β2-AR) agonist [3H]-(R,R′)-methoxyfenoterol was employed as the marker ligand in displacement studies measuring the binding affinities (Ki values) of the stereoisomers of a series of 4′-methoxyfenoterol analogs in which the length of the alkyl substituent at α′ position was varied from 0 to 3 carbon atoms. The binding affinities of the compounds were additionally determined using the inverse agonist [3H]-CGP-12177 as the marker ligand and the ability of the compounds to stimulate cAMP accumulation, measured as EC50 values, were determined in HEK293 cells expressing the β2-AR. The data indicate that the highest binding affinities and functional activities were produced by methyl and ethyl substituents at the α′ position. The results also indicate that the Ki values obtained using [3H]-(R,R′)-methoxyfenoterol as the marker ligand modeled the EC50 values obtained from cAMP stimulation better than the data obtained using [3H]-CGP-12177 as the marker ligand. The data from this study was combined with data from previous studies and processed using the Comparative Molecular Field Analysis approach to produce a CoMFA model reflecting the binding to the β2-AR conformation probed by [3H]-(R,R′)-4′-methoxyfenoterol. The CoMFA model of the agonist-stabilized β2-AR suggests that the binding of the fenoterol analogs to an agonist-stabilized conformation of the β2-AR is governed to a greater extend by steric effects than binding to the [3H]-CGP-12177-stabilized conformation(s) in which electrostatic interactions play a more predominate role.

The degree of C=C bond activation in the asymmetric bioreduction of α,β-unsaturated carboxylic esters by ene-reductases was studied, and general recommendations to render these "borderline-substrates" more reactive towards enzymatic reduction are proposed. The concept of "supported substrate activation" was developed. In general, an additional α-halogenated substituent proved to be beneficial for enzymatic activity, whereas β-alkyl or β-aryl substituents were detrimental for the reactivity of nonhalogenated substrates, and α-cyano groups showed little effect. The alcohol moiety of the ester functionality was found to have a strong influence on the reaction rate. Overall, activities were determined by both steric and electronic effects. Biotransformation: The asymmetric bioreduction of α,β-unsaturated carboxylic esters by ene-reductases could be tuned by varying the degree of C=C bond activation (see scheme). An additional α-halogenated substituent proved to be beneficial for enzymatic activity, whereas β-alkyl or β-aryl substituents were detrimental for the reactivity of nonhalogenated substrates.

Amber-woody scent: Alcohols with divergent structure present common olfactory characteristics and sharp enantiomer differentiation

Only one out of the four possible trans isomers of the important perfumery alcohol Norlimbanol (1) possesses a very strong amber-woody smell, the isomer 1A with (1′ R,3S,6'S) absolute configuration. Its enantiomer 1B is almost odorless and devoid of amber-woody character, whereas the diastereoisomers 1C and 1D are considerably weaker and perceptible only by the most-sensitive persons. The same is true for a whole series of perceptual analogs of 1, including β-alkoxy alcohols. These ethers belong to two structural classes: [(2,2,6-trimethylcyclohexyl)oxy]- (see 3, 4, and 16) or {[2-(tert-butyl)cyclohexyl]oxy)alkan-2-ol derivatives (see 19 and 20; Table). A superimposition model allowing for good overlap of the respective hydroxylated side chains offers a tentative explanation for the shared perceptual characteristics of the two classes (Fig. 5). The lipophilic cyclohexane moieties present only a minimal overlap in this model, suggesting that quite larger molecules might possess the same smell. (S)-Configured β-alkoxy alcohols can conveniently be obtained on a larger scale by enantioselective reduction of the corresponding ketones (Scheme 9).

The kinetic resolution of α-chloro esters was effected with good selectivity using CLEC (Cross-Linked Enzyme Crystals) enzymes. The selective racemisation of α-chloro esters in the presence of α-chloro acids enabled a successful dynamic kinetic resolution reaction to be performed.

Optically active (S)-2-bromo- and 2-chloro-alkanoic acids 6 and 7 have been obtained via the diastereoselective halogenation of chiral silyl ketene acetals 3a-f, and subsequent saponification of the resulting crude esters.Examples characterized by e.e. values up to 95percent are reported.The diastereoface selectivity is independent of the silyl ketene acetal E/Z configuration.
