The catalytic insertion of copper carbenoids into O-H bonds affords synthetically useful α-alkyl/aryl-α-alkoxy/aryloxy derivatives. Herein, the design, preparation and application of supramolecularly regulated copper(i) complexes of bisoxazoline ligands is reported. We have demonstrated that the catalytic performance of these systems can be modulated by the use of an external molecule (i.e.the regulation agent), which interacts with a polyethyleneoxy chain on the ligand (i.e.the regulation site)viasupramolecular interactions. This approach has been applied to an array of structurally diverse alcohols (cycloalkyl, alkyl and aryl derivatives). Moreover, we have used this methodology to synthesise advanced synthetic intermediates of biologically relevant compounds.

A new enzymatic method for the preparation of optically active α-substituted carboxylic acids is reported. This technique is called deracemization reaction, which provides us with a route to obtain the enantiomerically pure compounds, theoretically in 100% yield starting from the racemic mixture. This means that the synthesis of a racemate is almost equal to the synthesis of the optically active compound, and this concept is entirely different from the commonly accepted one in the asymmetric synthesis. Using the growing cell system of Nocardia diaphanozonaria JCM3208, racemates of 2-aryl- and 2-aryloxypropanoic acid are deracemized smoothly and (R)-form-enriched products are recovered in high chemical yield (>50%). In addition, using optically active starting compounds and deuterated derivatives as well as inhibitors, we have disclosed the fact that a new type of enzyme takes part in this biotransformation, and that the reaction proceeds probably via the same mechanism as that in rat liver.

An enzyme system of Nocardia diaphanozonaria JCM 3208 catalyzes the inversion of the chirality of various alpha-substituted carboxylic acids, such as 2-phenylpropanoic acid and 2-phenoxypropanoic acid derivatives, via a novel deracemization reaction.
