A simple method for the preparation of optically active 1-aryloxy- and 1-arylsulphanyl-3-thiocyanatopropan-2-oles from racemic 1-chloro-3-aryloxy- and 1-chloro-3-arylsulphanyl-2-propanols via 1-aryloxy- and 1-arylsulphanyl-3-thiocyanatopropan-2-ones has been developed. The enantiomerically enriched β-hydroxythiocyanates were obtained by a microbiological reduction of the thiocyanatoketones with Saccharomyces cerevisiae or Mortierella isabellina and subsequently converted into optically active thiiranes on treatment with a lithium hydroxide solution.
Imidazolium salts

, (2008/06/13)
Novel quaternary imidazolium salts substituted on one nitrogen of the imidazolium cation with a EQU1 group in which each A is an aryl radical and B is an aliphatic, aryl-substituted aliphatic or aromatic radical, said salts being useful as antimicrobial agents.
