SBA-15 nanoporous silica was synthesized by hydrothermal method using P123 surfactant and tetraethoxyortosilicate in acidic condition and then functionalized by 3-chloropropyltrimethoxysilane. Next, by immobilization of chiral amino acid (S)-2-amino-3-methyl butanoic acid (l-valine) and chiral amino alcohol (S)-2-amino-3-methylbutane-1-ol (l-valinol), preparedviathe reduction ofl-valine by NaBH4/I2in THF, on functionalized-SBA-15, chiral heterogeneous ligands AL*-i-Pr-SBA-15 and AA*-i-Pr-SBA-15 were prepared and characterized by FT-IR, XRD, TGA, EDX, SEM, BET-BJH techniques. The asymmetric allylic oxidation of alkenes was done using copper-complexes of these ligands and the as-synthesized peresters. The reactions were optimized by varying various parameters such as temperature, solvent, amount of chiral heterogeneous ligand, as well as the type and amount of copper salt. Under optimized conditions, 6 mg of AL*-i-Pr-SBA-15 and 3.2 mol% of Cu(CH3CN)4PF6in acetonitrile at 50 °C, the chiral allylic ester was obtained with 80% yield and 39% enantiomeric excess in 24 h. The recyclability of the chiral heterogeneous catalysts was also evaluated without significant reduction in the reaction results up to three runs.

Tubulysins are natural anticancer molecules that directly bind and inhibit tubulin polymerization in actively dividing cells leading to apoptosis and cell death. Structurally, tubulysins are linear tetrapeptides, constituted by a natural amino acid (Ile)

Optically active β-amino alcohols are very useful chiral intermediates frequently used in the preparation of pharmaceutically active substances. Here, a novel cyclohexylamine oxidase (ArCHAO) was identified from the genome sequence of Arthrobacter sp. TYUT010-15 with the R-stereoselective deamination activity of β-amino alcohol. ArCHAO was cloned and successfully expressed in E. coli BL21, purified and characterized. Substrate-specific analysis revealed that ArCHAO has high activity (4.15 to 6.34 U mg?1 protein) and excellent enantioselectivity toward the tested β-amino alcohols. By using purified ArCHAO, a wide range of racemic β-amino alcohols were resolved, (S)-β-amino alcohols were obtained in >99 % ee. Deracemization of racemic β-amino alcohols was conducted by ArCHAO-catalyzed enantioselective deamination and transaminase-catalyzed enantioselective amination to afford (S)-β-amino alcohols in excellent conversion (78–94 %) and enantiomeric excess (>99 %). Preparative-scale deracemization was carried out with 50 mM (6.859 g L?1) racemic 2-amino-2-phenylethanol, (S)-2-amino-2-phenylethanol was obtained in 75 % isolated yield and >99 % ee.

A series of seven homoleptic CuI complexes based on hetero-bidentate P^N ligands was synthesized and comprehensively characterized. In order to study structure–property relationships, the type, size, number and configuration of substituents at the phosphinooxazoline (phox) ligands were systematically varied. To this end, a combination of X-ray diffraction, NMR spectroscopy, steady-state absorption and emission spectroscopy, time-resolved emission spectroscopy, quenching experiments and cyclic voltammetry was used to assess the photophysical and electrochemical properties. Furthermore, time-dependent density functional theory calculations were applied to also analyze the excited state structures and characteristics. Surprisingly, a strong dependency on the chirality of the respective P^N ligand was found, whereas the specific kind and size of the different substituents has only a minor impact on the properties in solution. Most importantly, all complexes except C3 are photostable in solution and show fully reversible redox processes. Sacrificial reductants were applied to demonstrate a successful electron transfer upon light irradiation. These properties render this class of photosensitizers as potential candidates for solar energy conversion issues.

Methanation of carbon dioxide (CO2) is attractive within the context of a renewable energy refinery. Herein, we report an indirect methanation method that harnesses amino alcohols as relay molecules in combination with a catalyst comprising ruthenium nanoparticles (NPs) immobilized on a Lewis acidic and robust metal–organic framework (MOF). The Ru NPs are well dispersed on the surface of the MOF crystals and have a narrow size distribution. The catalyst efficiently transforms amino alcohols to oxazolidinones (upon reaction with CO2) and then to methane (upon reaction with hydrogen), simultaneously regenerating the amino alcohol relay molecule. This protocol provides a sustainable, indirect way for CO2 methanation as the process can be repeated multiple times.

A ruthenium(II)-catalyzed selective hydrogenation of challenging primary amides and cyclic di-peptides to their corresponding primary alcohols and amino alcohols, respectively, is reported. The hydrogenation reaction operates under mild and eco-benign conditions and can be scaled-up.

A highly diastereoselective desymmetrization of p-quinamines via regioselective ring opening of epoxides and aziridines under mild conditions has been developed. A chairlike six-membered transition state with minimized 1,3-diaxial interactions explains the relative stereoselectivity of the cyclization reaction. This transition-metal free [3 + 3] annulation reaction provides rapid access to fused bicyclic morpholines and piperazines with a tetrasubstituted carbon center in high yields. In addition, it also allows the synthesis of enantioenriched products by using easily accessible chiral nonracemic epoxides and aziridines.

Optically pure vicinal 1,2-diols are versatile chiral building blocks in the fine chemical and pharmaceutical industries. L-α-amino acid is a good feedstock source for high value-added product production since it is inexpensive and renewable. However, conversion of L-α-amino acids to enantioenriched vicinal 1,2-diols remains a significant challenge. In this study, combining a simple chemical process and a three-enzyme cascade biocatalysis system, we have successfully implemented a one-pot sequential process for the transformation of L-α-amino acids into enantiopure vicinal 1,2-diols in aqueous medium. Firstly, the NaBH4-H2SO4 system converted L-α-amino acids to (S)-amino alcohols via amino acid carboxyl reduction. Secondly, the three-enzyme (transaminase, carbonyl reductase and glucose dehydrogenase) cascade biocatalysis system converted amino alcohols to enantiopure vicinal 1,2-diols via amino alcohol deamination, α-hydroxy ketone asymmetric reduction and cofactor regeneration. Taking advantage of the two different reaction systems, chiral vicinal 1,2-diols could be obtained from L-α-amino acids with high yields (69–90 %) and excellent ee values (91–>99 % ee).

Cyclic α-quaternary carbon stereocenters were prepared from biselectrophillic substrates and an easily prepared chiral bicyclic sulfonyl lactam. This was achieved in two steps by spiroalkylation, employing biphasic reaction conditions with a phase-transfer catalyst, followed by reduction and alkylation with a series of alkyl halide electrophiles. The products of this method were isolated in good yields with with high levels of diastereoselectivity. This methodology was employed in the enantioselective total synthesis of (R)-puraquinonic acid (1) for a late-stage installation of the α-quaternary carbon stereocenter. This enabled the shortest synthesis of 1 to date, an eight-pot sequence providing an overall yield of 14%.

Axial N-O alcohols, which have two large carboline moieties connected to the axis were synthesized and used in catalytic enantioselective 1,2- and 1,4-transfer hydrogenations of total 26 ketimines and β-enamino esters. Excellent levels of enantioselectivity ranging from 91% to 99% were achieved by using catalyst (aS)-(S)-3,3′-bis((S)-2-(hydroxymethyl)pyrrolidine-1-carbonyl)-9,9′-dimethyl-9H,9′H-[1,1′-bipyrido[3,4-b]indole] 2-oxide. Interestingly, a mixture of (aS)-(S)-3,3′-bis((S)-2-(hydroxymethyl)pyrrolidine-1-carbonyl)-9,9′-dimethyl-9H,9′H-[1,1′-bipyrido[3,4-b]indole] 2-oxide and (aR)-(S)-3,3′-bis((S)-2-(hydroxymethyl)pyrrolidine-1-carbonyl)-9,9′-dimethyl-9H,9′H-[1,1′-bipyrido[3,4-b]indole] 2-oxide was also able to provide high enantioselectivities up to 95% that is the same as that using pure (aS)-(S)-3,3′-bis((S)-2-(hydroxymethyl)pyrrolidine-1-carbonyl)-9,9′-dimethyl-9H,9′H-[1,1′-bipyrido[3,4-b]indole] 2-oxide. A plausible catalytic mechanism was suggested and total four kinds of transition states (TS) including almost 60 TS structures were investigated using density functional theory (DFT) with different basis sets such as 6-311G(2d,p). The predicted activation energy data are consistent with the experimental results. (Figure presented.).
