The asymmetric amination of secondary racemic allylic alcohols bears several challenges like the reactivity of the bi-functional substrate/product as well as of the α,β-unsaturated ketone intermediate in an oxidation-reductive amination sequence. Heading for a biocatalytic amination cascade with a minimal number of enzymes, an oxidation step was implemented relying on a single PQQ-dependent dehydrogenase with low enantioselectivity. This enzyme allowed the oxidation of both enantiomers at the expense of iron(III) as oxidant. The stereoselective amination of the α,β-unsaturated ketone intermediate was achieved with transaminases using 1-phenylethylamine as formal reducing agent as well as nitrogen source. Choosing an appropriate transaminase, either the (R)- or (S)-enantiomer was obtained in optically pure form (>98 % ee). The enantio-convergent amination of the racemic allylic alcohols to one single allylic amine enantiomer was achieved in one pot in a sequential cascade.

C13 Norisoprenoids are important aroma compounds in wine, giving positive attributes to the overall wine aroma even when found at very low levels. β-Ionone is considered one of the most important aroma compounds giving violet, woody and raspberry aromas to wine, fruits and vegetables in which it is found. Due to its potent aroma at low levels, precise analytical methods are desired for its quantification. Stable isotope dilution assay (SIDA) is one of the most important of these methods but requires the use of isotopically labelled standards. Herein, we describe the scalable synthesis of d6-β-ionone and d6-β-cyclocitral, another aroma compound with smokey and fruity notes, starting from the relatively inexpensive deuterated starting material d6-acetone.

Selenization of Fe2O3 with NaHSe led to Se/Fe3O4. The unexpected generation of Fe3O4 attributed to the reduction conditions of the reaction, and the resulted magnetic features of the materi

The first iodine/water-mediated deprotective oxidation of allylic ethers to access α,β-unsaturated ketones and aldehydes was achieved. The reaction tolerates a wide range of functionalities. Furthermore, this protocol was found to be applicable to the oxidative transformation of allylic acetates. The proposed mechanism involves an oxygen transfer from solvent water to the carbonyl products.

The oxidation of allylic alcohols is challenging to perform in a chemo- as well as stereo-selective fashion at the expense of molecular oxygen using conventional chemical protocols. Here, we report the identification of a library of flavin-dependent oxidases including variants of the berberine bridge enzyme (BBE) analogue from Arabidopsis thaliana (AtBBE15) and the 5-(hydroxymethyl)furfural oxidase (HMFO) and its variants (V465T, V465S, V465T/W466H and V367R/W466F) for the enantioselective oxidation of sec-allylic alcohols. While primary and benzylic alcohols as well as certain sugars are well known to be transformed by flavin-dependent oxidases, sec-allylic alcohols have not been studied yet except in a single report. The model substrates investigated were oxidized enantioselectively in a kinetic resolution with an E-value of up to >200. For instance HMFO V465S/T oxidized the (S)-enantiomer of (E)-oct-3-en-2-ol (1 a) and (E)-4-phenylbut-3-en-2-ol with E>200 giving the remaining (R)-alcohol with ee>99% at 50% conversion. The enantioselectivity could be decreased if required by medium engineering by the addition of cosolvents (e. g. dimethyl sulfoxide).

An operationally simple E → Z isomerization of activated dienes, based on the β-ionyl motif intrinsic to retinal, is reported using inexpensive (-)-riboflavin (vitamin B2) under irradiation at 402 nm. Selective energy transfer from photoexcited (-)-riboflavin to the starting E-isomer enables geometrical isomerization. Since the analogous process with the Z-isomer is inefficient, microscopic reversibility is circumvented, thereby enabling a directional isomerization to generate the contra-thermodynamic product (up to 99% yield, up to 99:1 Z/E). Prudent choice of photocatalyst enables chemoselective isomerization to be achieved in both inter- and intramolecular systems. The principles established from this study, together with a molecular editing approach, have facilitated the development of a regioselective isomerization of a truncated triene based on the retinal scaffold.

Novel catalytic systems based on pentacarbonylmanganese bromide and stable NNN-pincer ligands are presented for the transfer-dehydrogenation of secondary alcohols to give the corresponding ketones in good to excellent isolated yields. Best results are obtained using di-picolylamine derivatives as ligands and acetone as an inexpensive hydrogen acceptor. Besides high activity for benzylic substrates, aliphatic alcohols, as well as steroid derivatives, are readily oxidized in the presence of the optimal phosphorus-free catalyst.

Abstract: The oxidative destruction of β-carotene in the presence of highly oxidized forms of μ-carbido-bis[(5,10,15,20-tetraphenyl-21H,23H-porphyrinato)iron(IV)] (1 → 3) or its analog with axially coordinated imidazole (2 → 4) obtained under the action of tert-butyl hydroperoxide tBuOOH was studied by spectrophotometry. It was found that compound 3 is the oxo form of compound 1 singly oxidized at the macrocyclic ligand (π radical cation) under the action of which β-carotene is oxidized with a rate constant k = 3.3 L2 mol–2 s–1. A?conclusion is drawn that short-lived compound 4 has unique EAS and is capable of oxidizing tBuOOH to form O2, which makes it possible to consider it the model of peroxidase. The value of k for the reaction with the participation of β-carotene and compound 4 (k = 10.3 L2 mol–2 s–1) is three times higher than that with the participation of compound 3. If a new portion of β-carotene is added, the process of its oxidative destruction in the presence of compounds 3 or 4 occurs without additives of the dimeric complex and peroxide. A?possible nature of compound 4 is discussed, as well as the influence of N-base in the coordination sphere of the complex on the nature of active intermediates and the rate of β-carotene decomposition.

The invention relates to a method for preparing beta-ionone from modified acidic functionalized ionic liquid. The method includes the following steps that the modified acidic functionalized ionic liquid serves as a catalyst, and pseudo ionone is cyclized into beta-ionone. The modified acidic functionalized ionic liquid serves as the catalyst, the high reactive transformation rate and beta-ionone yield are achieved, the reactive transformation rate reaches 99% or above, and the beta-ionone yield reaches 94% or above. The catalyst can still keep the high transformation rate and yield after being separated and applied mechanically multiple times, the reactive transformation rate still reaches 99% or above, and the reaction yield is still kept at 90% or above.
