Lactones 34 [1]. Application of alcohol dehydrogenase from horse liver (HLADH) in enantioselective synthesis of δ- and ε-lactones

The ability of horse liver alcohol dehydrogenase (HLADH) to the enantioselective oxidation of primary-primary, primary-secondary and primary-tertiary aliphatic 1,5- and 1,6-diols 1a-i was studied. No enantioselectivity of the transformations of primary-primary 1,6-diols 1a-d to ε-lactones 4a-d was observed. Regioselective oxidation of primary-secondary 1,6-diols 1e,f and 1,5-diols 1h,i afforded enantiomerically enriched ε-lactones 4e,f and δ-lactones 4h,i. ε-Lactones 4e,f were formed with higher enantiomeric excesses (e.e. = 85-99%). Enzymatic oxidation of primary-tertiary 1,6-diol 1g did not give lactone product.

Organoboranr-Catalyzed anti-Markownikoff Hydration of Olefins

A new, catalytic procedure for the anti-Markownikoff hydration of olefins in the presence of organoborane catalyst and dichloroaluminum hydride under dry air has been described.

ASYMMETRIC REDUCTION OF FARNESOL

Asymmetric hydroboration-oxidation followed by reductive deoxygenation has been used to bring about the asymmetric hydrogenation of simple trisubstituted olefins.This technique has been illustrated by the preparation of (R)-(-)-6,7,10,11-tetrahydrofarnesol.
