Biocatalytic racemization of aliphatic, (aryl)aliphatic and aromatic α-hydroxycarboxylic acids was achieved via a reversible oxidation-reduction sequence using a pair of stereo-complementary Prelog- and anti-Prelog d- and l-α-hydroxyisocaproate dehydrogenases from Lactobacillus confusus DSM 20196 and Lactobacillus paracasei DSM 20008, resp., overexpressed in Escherichia coli. The mild reaction conditions ensured essential 'clean' isomerization, undesired 'over-oxidation' of the substrate forming the α-ketoacid could be suppressed by exclusion of O2 and adjustment of the NAD+/NADH-ratio.

Imidazole compounds having adenosine deaminase inhibitory activity represented by formula (I) wherein R1is hydrogen, hydroxy, protected hydroxy, or aryl optionally substituted with suitable substituent(s); R2is hydrogen or lower alkyl; R3is hydroxy or protected hydroxy; R4is cyano, (hydroxy)iminoamino(lower)alkyl, carboxy, protected carboxy, heterocyclic group optionally substituted with amino, or carbamoyl optionally substituted with suitable substituent(s); and —A— is —Q— or —O—Q—, wherein Q is single bond or lower alkylene, provided that when R2is lower alkyl, then R1is hydroxy, protected hydroxy, or aryl optionally substituted with suitable substituent(s), its prodrug, or their salt. The compounds are useful for treating and/or preventing diseases for which adenosine is effective.
Oxidation of Methyl Trimethylsilyl Ketene Acetals to α-Hydroxyesters with Urea Hydrogen Peroxide Catalyzed by Methyltrioxorhenium
Stankovic, Sasa,Espenson, James H.
, p. 5528 - 5530 (2007/10/03)
In the presence of catalytic amounts of MTO, methyltrioxorhenium, methyl trimethylsilyl ketene acetals are oxidized with urea hydrogen peroxide to afford α-hydroxy and α-siloxy esters. On treatment with potassium fluoride, the α-hydroxy esters are obtained in high yields.
