Cytochrome P450 catalyzed oxidative hydroxylation of achiral organic compounds with simultaneous creation of two chirality centers in a single C-H activation step

Regio- and stereoselective oxidative hydroxylation of achiral or chiral organic compounds mediated by synthetic reagents, catalysts, or enzymes generally leads to the formation of one new chiral center that appears in the respective enantiomeric or diastereomeric alcohols. By contrast, when subjecting appropriate achiral compounds to this type of C-H activation, the simultaneous creation of two chiral centers with a defined relative and absolute configuration may result, provided that control of the regio-, diastereo-, and enantioselectivity is ensured. The present study demonstrates that such control is possible by using wild type or mutant forms of the monooxygenase cytochrome P450 BM3 as catalysts in the oxidative hydroxylation of methylcyclohexane and seven other monosubstituted cyclohexane derivatives.

Enzymatic preparation of (1S,2R)- and (1R,2S)-stereoisomers of 2-halocycloalkanols

The stereoisomers of cis-2-halocycloalkanols were resolved by a kinetically controlled transesterification with vinyl acetate in the presence of lipases in organic media. High enantioselectivities (ee >98%) and good isolated yields were obtained for all substrates using the appropriate lipase. Burkholderia cepacia lipase was the most efficient enzyme for the resolution of these substrates. The enantiomeric purities of the compounds were defined by derivatization with Mosher's acid and the absolute configurations were determined by chemical correlation.

Enantioselective synthesis of vicinal halohydrins via dynamic kinetic resolution

(Chemical Equation Presented) Expanding the scope of enantioselective catalysis via DKR, transfer hydrogenation of a variety of cyclic α-halo ketones was accomplished using the Noyori/Ikariya (R,R)- or (S,S)-I catalysts and either HCO2H/Et3N or HCO2Na/n-Bu 4NBr in H2O/CH2Cl2 as the hydrogen sources. Good yields of vicinal bromo-, chloro-, and fluorohydrins with excellent de and ee levels were achieved in most cases after a simple tuning of reaction conditions.

Organocatalytic asymmetric α-bromination of aldehydes and ketones

The first organocatalytic enantioselective α-bromination of aldehydes and ketones is presented; a C2-symmetric diphenylpyrrolidine catalyst afforded the α-brominated aldehydes in good yields and up to 96% ee, while ketones were α-brominated by
