Regio- and stereoselective oxidative hydroxylation of achiral or chiral organic compounds mediated by synthetic reagents, catalysts, or enzymes generally leads to the formation of one new chiral center that appears in the respective enantiomeric or diastereomeric alcohols. By contrast, when subjecting appropriate achiral compounds to this type of C-H activation, the simultaneous creation of two chiral centers with a defined relative and absolute configuration may result, provided that control of the regio-, diastereo-, and enantioselectivity is ensured. The present study demonstrates that such control is possible by using wild type or mutant forms of the monooxygenase cytochrome P450 BM3 as catalysts in the oxidative hydroxylation of methylcyclohexane and seven other monosubstituted cyclohexane derivatives.
Methods for the Stereoselective Cis Cyanohydroxylation and Carboxyhydroxylation of Olefins

Two valuable reagents for the cis-specific vicinal cyanohydroxylation and carboxyhydroxylation of olefins are described.The cyanohydroxylation process is based on the decarboxylative ring opening of 3-carboxyisoxazolines prepared by the cycloaddition reaction of carbethoxyformonitrile oxide with various alkenes.Fragmentation of the isoxazolines prepared from cis- and trans-2-butene has been found to occur without any crossover in stereochemistry.The carboxyhydroxylation process begins with the dipolar cycloaddition reaction of the nitrile oxide derived from thetetrahydropyranyl ether derivative of 2-nitroethanol.Deprotection, hydrogenation, and oxitative cleavage of the derived dihydroxy ketone yield the stereochemcally pure β-hydroxy carboxylic acid.
