Enzymatic resolution of racemic secondary cyclic allylic alcohols

The resolutions of five racemic cyclic alcohols: 6,6-dimethylcyclohex-2-en-1-ol (±)-5, 4,4-dimethylcyclohex-2-en-1-ol (±)-7, 5,5-dimethylcyclohex-2-en-1-ol (±)-11 and isomeric trans-(±)-13 and cis-piperitols (±)-14 are presented. They were resolved by enzymatic esterification with vinyl esters or by enzymatic hydrolysis of their racemic esters in phosphate buffer. The following lipases were used as biocatalysts: Novozyme 435 (Candida antarctica), Amano PS (Burkholderia cepacia) and lipase from Candida cylindracea. All isomers of alcohols were obtained with at least 96% ee.

Origins of Regio- and Stereoselectivity in Additions of Phenylselenenyl Chloride to Allylic Alcohols and the Applicability of These Additions to a Simple 1,3-Enone Transposition Sequence

The regio- and stereoselectivity of phenylselenenyl chloride additions to allylic alcohols and their derivatives have been systematically studied.On the basis of the results, a mechanism involving two basic premises is proposed.These are as follows: (a) allylic oxygen's direct selenonium ion formation to the syn face of the double bond; (b) axial attack of the chloride ion is kinetically favored over equatorial attack.A series of rules which are useful for predicting the regio- and stereoselectivity of phenylselenenyl chloride additions to allylic systems are discussed.In addition, these reactions can be used as the key step in a general 1,3-enone transposition sequence.Several examples of this transposition sequence are illustrated.
