Exploring the synthetic potential of a marine transaminase including discrimination at a remote stereocentre

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

Asymmetric Induction in Hydroacylation by Cooperative Iminium Ion-Transition-Metal Catalysis

A new strategy for the rhodium-catalyzed enantioselective hydroacylation is described. This has been achieved through the merger of iminium ion catalysis and transition-metal catalysis such that asymmetric induction derives from a readily accessible, inexpensive chiral nonracemic secondary amine catalyst rather than a chiral nonracemic phosphine as is typical of conventional asymmetric hydroacylation methods.

Synthesis of Chiral 3-Alkyl-3,4-dihydroisocoumarins by dynamic kinetic resolutions catalyzed by a Baeyer-Villiger Monooxygenase

"Chemical Equation Presented" Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenases have been tested, in the oxidation of racemic benzofused ketones. When employing a single mutant of phenylacetone monooxygenase (M.446G PAMO) under the proper reaction conditions, it was possible to achieve 3-substituted 3,4-dihydroisocoumarins with, high yields and optical purities through regioselective dynamic kinetic resolution processes.

Catalytic enantioselective Negishi reactions of racemic secondary benzylic halides

This report describes the first enantioselective cross-couplings of racemic secondary benzylic halides, specifically, nickel-catalyzed Negishi reactions of bromides and chlorides. The catalyst components are commercially available and air-stable, and the reaction is not highly oxygen- or moisture-sensitive (it can be set up in the air). The method has been applied to the catalytic enantioselective synthesis of intermediates employed by others in the generation of bioactive compounds (e.g., trikentrin A and an androgen receptor agonist).

Efficient kinetic resolution in the asymmetric hydrosilylation of imines of 3-substituted indanones and 4-substituted tetralones

Kinetic resolution of the N-methyl imines of 3-substituted indanones and 4-substituted tetralones could be accomplished by hydrosilylation with a chiral titanocene catalyst. N-Methyl imines of 4-substituted tetralones were resolved to yield, after hydrolysis of the unreacted starting materials, ketones with high ee's and the amine products with high diastereomeric and enantiomeric purity. The utility of this process was demonstrated in the synthesis of sertraline.

On the Absolute Configuration of (+)-Indane-1-carboxylic Acid

The (R)-configuration, attributed to (+)-indane-carboxylic acid ((+)-1) by Fredga, is unequivocally confirmed (Scheme 1).Configurational doubts, raised by an erroneous ORD. curve of (-)-1-methylindane ((-)-4) published by Brewster and Buta, are unfounded (cf. the following paper of Brewster and the corrections in ).This was further verified by preparing deuteriated 1-methylindanes starting with (-)-(R)-3-phenylbutyric acid ((-)-(R)-5) as well as with (+)-(R)-1 or (-)-(S)-1 (Scheme 2).The ORD. curves of the optically active 4 thus obtained were (disregarding deuterium isotope effects) identical or antipodal, respectively (cf.Fig.1,2, and 7a-e).Optically active methyl indane-1-carboxylates ((-)-(R)-14 or (+)-(S)--14) show a strong solvent dependence of their ORD. and CD. spectra with a sign inversion occuring in going from isooctane to methanol or benzene.The observed changes can be explained by a change in the population of comformations where the ester carbonyl group is eclipsed either with the C(1),C(2)- or C(1),H-bond, with the n,?*-transition having a slightly different energy and the ester group an essentially enantiomeric environment with respect to its orientation relative to the benzene moiety.
