The marine transaminase, P-ω-TA, can be employed for the transamination from 1-aminotetralins and 1-aminoindanes with differentiation of stereochemistry at both the site of reaction and at a remote stereocentre resulting in formation of ketone products with up to 93% ee. While 4-substituents are tolerated on the tetralin core, the presence of 3- or 8-substituents is not tolerated by the transaminase. In general P-ω-TA shows capacity for remote diastereoselectivity, although both the stereoselectivity and efficiency are dependent on the specific substrate structure. Optimum efficiency and selectivity are seen with 4-haloaryl-1-aminotetralins and 3-haloaryl-1-aminoindanes, which may be associated with the marine origin of this enzyme. This journal is
Anomalous Acetoxylation of Aromatic Nuclei: Some Structural Requirements in the Substrate

For certain aromatic nuclei, bromination in acetic acid in the presence of pyridine is accompanied by nuclear acetoxylation.As first observed with galbulin, when two alkoxyl groups, one meta and one para to a benzylic centre of the substrate are present, acetoxylation occurs at the intervening ortho position.Under the given conditions, acetoxylation occurs at position 8 of 6,7-dimethoxy-1-phenyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene, and at position 2 of 3,4-dimethoxy diphenyl and triphenyl-methanes.Acetoxylation does not occur in the absence of either of the alkoxy groups or in the absence of pyridine, not does it occur in the pendant ring of 1-(3',4'-dimethoxyphenyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene.These results are consistent with the earlier suggestion that the reaction occurs by way of initial oxidative formation of a doubly benzylic cation
