Asymmetric preparation of antifungal 1-(4′-chlorophenyl)-1- cyclopropyl methanol and 1-(4′-chlorophenyl)-2-phenylethanol. Study of the detoxification mechanism by Botrytis cinerea

Chiral alcohols are important as bioactive compounds or as precursors to such molecules. On the basis of the different antifungal properties of the enantiopure alcohol derivatives of 4′-chlorophenyl cyclopropyl ketone and benzyl 4′-chlorophenyl ketone, their enantioselective synthesis by chemical and biocatalytic methods was studied. The detoxification pathways by the phytopathogen fungus Botrytis cinerea are reported.

Substituent Effect Studies of Aryl-Assisted Solvolyses. II. The Acetolysis of 2-Phenyl-2-(substituted phenyl)ethyl p-Toluenesulfonates

The substituent effect on the acetolysis of 2-phenyl-2-(substituted phenyl)ethyl p-toluenesulfonates had a nonlinear LArSR correlation and was explicable in terms of a competitive aryl-assisted mechanism involving the X-substituted phenyl-assisted (kXM) pathway and the unsubstituted phenyl-assisted (kXN) pathway. By the application of the iterative nonlinear least-squares method based on the LArSR Eq., the substituent effect on the overall kt was dissected into the best-fit kM correlation of ρM=-3.53 with rM=0.60, and the kN correlation of ρN=-0.88 with ?0. The ρM and rM values for the effects of assisting aryl substituents are quite close to those of the 2-methyl-2-phenylpropyl system and the small ρN value with unexalted ?0 constant for the unassisting aryls is compatible to the remote β-aryl effect. The relative rates of competing pathways dissected based on the substituent effect analysis agreed completely with the ratio of respective aryl migration products determined by the 13C-tracer method. Exact rate-product correlation demonstrates that this system involves two discrete aryl-assisted pathways, kXM and kXN, which do not cross over.
