A highly enantioselective hydrogenation of α,β-unsaturated boronate esters catalyzed by Rh-(S)-DTBM-Segphos complex has been developed. Both (Z)-α,β- and β,β-disubstituted substrates can be successfully hydrogenated to afford chiral boronates with excellent enantioselectivities, up to 98 % ee. Furthermore, the obtained chiral boronate esters, as important versatile synthetic intermediates are successfully transformed to the corresponding chiral alcohols, amines and other important derivatives with maintained enantioselectivities.

A novel protocol for the regio- and stereoselective iodofluorination of internal and terminal alkynes using 1,3-diiodo-5,5,-dimethylhydantoin and HF-based reagents is disclosed. This approach is used to prepare a fluorinated tamoxifen derivative in two steps from commercially available starting materials. A facile method enabling controlled regioselective double iodofluorination of terminal alkynes is also presented.

P450 119 peroxygenase and its site-directed mutants are discovered to catalyze the enantioselective epoxidation of methyl-substituted styrenes. Two new site-directed P450 119 mutants, namely T213Y and T213M, which were designed to improve the enantioselectivity and activity for the epoxidation of styrene and its methyl substituted derivatives, were studied. The T213M mutant is found to be the first engineered P450 peroxygenase that shows highly enantioselective epoxidation of cis-β-methylstyrenes, with up to 91 % ee. Molecular modeling studies provide insights into the different catalytic activity of the T213M mutant and the T213Y mutant in the epoxidation of cis-β-methylstyrene. The results of the calculations also contribute to a better understanding of the substrate specificity and configuration control for the regio- and stereoselective peroxygenation catalyzed by the T213M mutant.
