A new clade of styrene monooxygenases for (R)-selective epoxidation

Styrene monooxygenases (SMOs) are excellent enzymes for the production of (S)-enantiopure epoxides, but so far, only one (R)-selective SMO has been identified with a narrow substrate spectrum. Mining the NCBI non-redundant protein sequences returned a new distinct clade of (R)-selective SMOs. Among them,SeStyA fromStreptomyces exfoliatus,AaStyA fromAmycolatopsis albispora, andPbStyA fromPseudonocardiaceaewere carefully characterized and found to convert a spectrum of styrene analogues into the corresponding (R)-epoxides with up to >99% ee. Moreover, site 46 (AaStyA numbering) was identified as a critical residue that affects the enantioselectivity of SMOs. Phenylalanine at site 46 was required for the (R)-selective SMO to endow excellent enantioselectivity. The identification of new (R)-selective SMOs would add a valuable green alternative to the synthetic tool box for the synthesis of enantiopure (R)-epoxides.

Enantiomer Separation of Nitriles and Epoxides by Crystallization with Chiral Organic Salts: Chirality Switching Modulated by Achiral Acids

Enantiomer separation of nitriles and epoxides by inclusion crystal formation with organic-salt type chiral hosts was achieved. The stereochemistry of the preferentially included nitrile could be switched only by changing the achiral carboxylic acid component. Crystallographic analysis of the inclusion crystals reveals that the hydrogen-bonding networks are controlled by the acidity of the phenol group of the acids, which results in chirality switching.

A new enantioselective synthesis of antiobesity drug lorcaserin

A simple and efficient enantioselective synthesis of anti-obesity drug lorcaerin starting from easily accessible 3-chlorostyrene oxide has been described for the first time employing hydrolytic kinetic resolution as a source of chirality. The protocol might also be useful in the synthesis of structural variants of lorcaserin.

Asymmetric synthesis of α-bromohydrins by carrot root as biocatalyst and conversion to enantiopure β-hydroxytriazoles and styrene oxides using click chemistry and SN2 ring-closure

In this study we have combined the bioreduction of α-bromoketones using carrot root as biocatalyst and click chemistry for the preparation of enantiopure β-hydroxytriazoles in excellent enantiomeric excesses and yields. Moreover, we have utilized chiral α-halohydrins for the synthesis of enantiopure styrene oxides in very good yields and enantiomeric excesses. Structural assignments of the products were based on their 1H and 13C NMR data and their optical rotations. The enantiomeric excess of the chiral products was obtained by HPLC analysis.

Multistep Organic Transformations over Base-Rhodium/Diamine-Bifunctionalized Mesostructured Silica Nanoparticles

The assembly of multiple catalytic functionalities within a single mesoporous silica as a catalyst for multistep enantioselective organic transformations in an environmentally friendly medium is a significant challenge in heterogeneous asymmetric catalysis. Herein, we took advantage of a BF4 ? anion hydrogen bonding strategy to anchor a chiral cationic rhodium/diamine complex within base-functionalized mesostructured silica nanoparticles conveniently to construct a bifunctional heterogeneous catalyst. The solid-state 13C NMR spectrum discloses the well-defined chiral Rh/diamine active species, and we used XRD, N2 adsorption–desorption, and electron microscopy to reveal the ordered mesostructure. The combination of bifunctionality in the silica nanoparticles enables two kinds of efficient enantioselective organic transformations with high yields and enantioselectivities, in which the asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of α-haloketones followed by epoxidation provides various chiral aryloxiranes, and the amination of α-haloketones with anilines followed by asymmetric transfer hydrogenation produces various β-amino alcohols. Furthermore, the catalyst can be recovered and recycled for seven times without a loss of catalytic activity, which is an attractive feature for multistep organic transformations in a sustainable benign process.

Photocatalytic Asymmetric Epoxidation of Terminal Olefins Using Water as an Oxygen Source in the Presence of a Mononuclear Non-Heme Chiral Manganese Complex

Photocatalytic enantioselective epoxidation of terminal olefins using a mononuclear non-heme chiral manganese catalyst, [(R,R-BQCN)MnII]2+, and water as an oxygen source yields epoxides with relatively high enantioselectivities (e.g., up to 60% enantiomeric excess). A synthetic mononuclear non-heme chiral Mn(IV)-oxo complex, [(R,R-BQCN)MnIV(O)]2+, affords similar enantioselectivities in the epoxidation of terminal olefins under stoichiometric reaction conditions. Mechanistic details of each individual step of the photoinduced catalysis, including formation of the Mn(IV)-oxo intermediate, are discussed on the basis of combined results of laser flash photolysis and other spectroscopic methods.
