A General Regioselective Synthesis of Alcohols by Cobalt-Catalyzed Hydrogenation of Epoxides

A straightforward methodology for the synthesis of anti-Markovnikov-type alcohols is presented. By using a specific cobalt triphos complex in the presence of Zn(OTf)2 as an additive, the hydrogenation of epoxides proceeds with high yields and selectivities. The described protocol shows a broad substrate scope, including multi-substituted internal and terminal epoxides, as well as a good functional-group tolerance. Various natural-product derivatives, including steroids, terpenoids, and sesquiterpenoids, gave access to the corresponding alcohols in moderate-to-excellent yields.

Enhanced Turnover for the P450 119 Peroxygenase-Catalyzed Asymmetric Epoxidation of Styrenes by Random Mutagenesis

A randomized library is constructed based on pET30a-CYP119-T214V plasmid. This library of random mutants of CYP119-T214V was screened by means of the reduced CO difference spectra and epoxidation of styrene. By using directed evolution, a new CYP119 quadr

Umpolung Synthesis of 1,3-Amino Alcohols: Stereoselective Addition of 2-Azaallyl Anions to Epoxides

We report the direct preparation of 1,3-amino alcohols that contain up to three contiguous stereogenic centers by the umpolung coupling of imines and epoxides. Nucleophilic 2-azaallyl anions, generated from imines, are stereoselectively added to epoxides to furnish 1,3-amino alcohols after hydrolysis of the product imine. Transformations afford amino alcohols with >98% site selectivity with respect to both reaction partners and in up to >98% yield and >20:1 dr.

Engineering P450 Peroxygenase to Catalyze Highly Enantioselective Epoxidation of cis-β-Methylstyrenes

P450 119 peroxygenase and its site-directed mutants are discovered to catalyze the enantioselective epoxidation of methyl-substituted styrenes. Two new site-directed P450 119 mutants, namely T213Y and T213M, which were designed to improve the enantioselectivity and activity for the epoxidation of styrene and its methyl substituted derivatives, were studied. The T213M mutant is found to be the first engineered P450 peroxygenase that shows highly enantioselective epoxidation of cis-β-methylstyrenes, with up to 91 % ee. Molecular modeling studies provide insights into the different catalytic activity of the T213M mutant and the T213Y mutant in the epoxidation of cis-β-methylstyrene. The results of the calculations also contribute to a better understanding of the substrate specificity and configuration control for the regio- and stereoselective peroxygenation catalyzed by the T213M mutant.

Asymmetric epoxidation of conjugated olefins with dioxygen

A complex situation: Asymmetric epoxidation of conjugated olefins was achieved at room temperature using ruthenium complex 1 as the catalyst and air as the oxidant to give epoxides in up to 95 % ee (see scheme). When the product was acid sensitive, the reaction was carried out at 0 °C under oxygen. Copyright

Asymmetric epoxidation of cis-β-methylstyrenes catalyzed by N-aryl substituted oxazolidinone-containing ketones. A beneficial substituent effect

Asymmetric epoxidation of substituted cis-β-methylstyrenes using N-aryl substituted oxazolidinone-containing ketones as catalysts shows that substituents on the phenyl group of the olefin have significant positive effects on the enantioselectivity of the
