A whole spectrum of biocatalysts for asymmetric reduction of prochiral ketones is well known including the Daucus carota root. However, this type of reaction is still challenging when pro-chiral ketones present low level of asymmetry, like heterocyclic ketones. In this work, 4,5-dihydro-3(2H)-thiophenone (1), 2-methyltetrahydrofuran-3-one (2), N-Boc-3-pyrrolidinone (3), 1-Z-3-pyrrolidinone (4) and 1-benzyl-3-pyrrolidinone (5) were studied in order to obtain the respective enantioselective heterocyclic secondary alcohols. Except for 5, the corresponding alcohols were obtained in high values of conversion and with high selectivity. In order to circumvent the low isolated yield of the corresponding chiral alcohol from 2, we observed that the use of carrots in the absence of water is feasible. Addition of co-solvents was needed to the water-insoluble ketones 3 and 4. Comparatively, baker’s yeast was used for bio reductions of 1, 3 and 4. And in terms of conversion, selectivity and work-up, the use of carrots were a more efficient biocatalyst, as well as a viable method for obtaining 5-member heterocyclic secondary alcohols.

Directed evolution of stereo- or regioselective enzymes as catalysts in asymmetric transformations is of particular interest in organic synthesis. Upon evolving these biocatalysts, screening is the bottleneck. To beat the numbers problem most effectively, methods and strategies for building “small but smart” mutant libraries have been developed. Herein, we compared two different strategies regarding the application of triple-code saturation mutagenesis (TCSM) at multiresidue sites of the Thermoanaerobacter brockii alcohol dehydrogenase by using distinct reduced amino-acid alphabets. By using the synthetically difficult-to-reduce prochiral ketone tetrahydrofuran-3-one as a substrate, highly R- and S-selective variants were obtained (92–99 % ee) with minimal screening. The origin of stereoselectivity was provided by molecular dynamics analyses, which is discussed in terms of the Bürgi–Dunitz trajectory.

By leveraging enzyme evolution technologies, the enantioselectivity of a KetoREDuctase (KRED) towards the nearly spatially symmetrical ketone tetrahydrothiophene-3-one was increased from 63% ee to 99.3% ee. The biocatalytic process gives (R)-tetrahy- drothiophene-3-ol in one step from a commodity chemical and supplants the original multistep hazardous processes starting from the chiral pool. The biocatalytic process has been successfully scaled to 100 kg.

Novel epoxide hydrolases in Yarrowia lipolytica have been shown to hydrolyse a variety of functionalised epoxides with good to excellent stereoselectivity and at high volumetric productivities. Individual biotransformation products have been converted into optically active (R)-(tetrahydrofuran-2-yl)methanol (6), (S)-N-benzyl-3-hydroxypyrrolidine (7), (S)-3-hydroxytetrahydrothiophene (8), (S)-N-benzyl-3-acetoxypiperidine (10), (S)-3-hydroxytetrahydrofuran (16) and (R)-[(S)-N-benzylpyrrolidin-2-yl](phenyl)methanol (20).

Design and synthesis of a novel series of protease inhibitors incorporating conformationally constrained cyclic ligands for the S2-substrate binding site of HIV-1 protease is described. We recently reported urethanes of 3-tetrahydrofuranyl as P2 ligands for HIV-1 protease inhibitors. Subsequently, we have found that the urethane of 3(S)-hydroxysulfolane further increased the in vitro potency of these inhibitors. Furthermore, introduction of a small 2-alkyl group cis to the 3-hydroxyl group of either heterocyclic system further enhanced enzyme affinity. The cis-2-isopropyl group thus far offered optimum enhancement of the inhibitory properties. This led to the discovery of inhibitor 43 (IC50 3.5 nM, CIC95 50+/-14 nM) of comparable in vitro antiviral potency to the current clinical candidate 1 (Ro 31-8959) but of reduced molecular weight due to the exclusion of the P3 quinoline ligand. Also, it has been demonstrated that the octahydropyrindene derivative 34 is an effective replacement of the P1' decahydroisoquinoline derivative.

The hydroboration of representative heterocycles bearing an endocyclic double bond with diisopinocamphenylborane (Ipc2BH) was investigated systematically to establish the asymmetric induction achieved in the reaction.The hydroboration of 2,3- and 2,5-dihydrofurans, 1,4-epoxy-1,4-dihydronaphthalene, and 2,3-dihydrothiophene with Ipc2BH in THF at -25 deg C proceeded very cleanly to afford the corresponding trialkylboranes.These trialkylboranes readily eliminate α-piene on treatment with acetaldehyde to give the corresponding boronates, R*B(OR)2.Oxidation afforded in high yields the corresponding heterocyclic alcohols of 100percent ee.N-(Carbobenzyloxy)-3-pyrroline could not be hydroborated with Ipc2BH below 0 deg C.The oxidation of the intermediate trialkylborane gave N-(carbobenzyloxy)-3-pyrrolidinol in 89percent ee.Similarly, six-membered heterocyclic olefins, namely, 3,4-dihydropyran and 3,4-dihydrothiapyran, were hydroborated with Ipc2BH at 0 deg C in THF.The resulting trialkylboranes on treatment with acetaldehyde followed by oxidation yielded 3-hydroxytetrahydropyran and 3-hydroxytetrahydrothiapyran of 83percent and 66percent ee, respectively.N-(Carbobenzyloxy)-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine, hydroborated with Ipc2BH at 0 deg C, followed by oxidation, afforded the corresponding 3- and 4-piperidinols in an 85:15 ratio.The asymmetric induction achieved during hydroboration was 70percent.The five-membered heterocyclic boronates of very high optical purity, highly versatile synthetic intermediates, were isolated both as the diethyl and the diethanolamine esters.
