A scalable, Nonenzymatic synthesis of highly stereopure difunctional C4 secondary methyl linchpin synthons

In response to the continuing widespread use of heterodifunctional C4 secondary methyl building blocks in asymmetric synthesis, we have developed a mole-scale, two-step synthesis of a 1:1 mixture of the diastereomers of 3-bromo-2-methyl-1-propyl camphorsulfonate (casylate). One isomer (2S) has been crystallized to >99:1 dr in ～25% yield. Equilibration of the mother liquor (enriched in 2R) to a 1:1 mixture and recrystallization significantly raises the overall yield of 2S. Applications of 2S include chemoselective Grignard coupling, enabling the very short synthesis of highly stereopure long-chain natural products containing remote, methyl-bearing stereogenic centers [e.g., (R)-tuberculostearic acid], with complete control of configuration. Also, Ag-mediated, completely chemoselective Br displacement from 2S leads to a range of >99:1 er difunctional synthons. Both applications incorporate concurrent recovery of CasO. The enantiomer of 2S can be made from commercial (1R)-10-CasOH.

Synthesis of optically active β- Or γ-alkyl-substituted alcohols through copper-catalyzed asymmetric allylic alkylation with organolithium reagents

An efficient one-pot synthesis of optically active β-alkyl-substituted alcohols through a tandem copper-catalyzed asymmetric allylic alkylation (AAA) with organolithium reagents and reductive ozonolysis is presented. Furthermore, hydroboration-oxidation following the Cu-catalyzed AAA leads to the corresponding homochiral γ-alkyl-substituted alcohols.

Haloalkane dehalogenase catalysed desymmetrisation and tandem kinetic resolution for the preparation of chiral haloalcohols

Six different bacterial haloalkane dehalogenases were recombinantly produced in Escherichia coli, purified, and used to catalyse the conversion of prochiral short-chain dihaloalkanes and a meso dihaloalkane, yielding enantioenriched haloalcohols. A two-reaction one-enzyme process was established in which the desymmetrisation of a dihaloalkane is followed by kinetic resolution of the chiral haloalcohol that is produced in the first step. In case of 1,3-dibromo-2-methylpropane and 1,3-dibromo-2-phenylpropane, an increase of the enantiomeric excess of the respective haloalcohol was observed in time, leading to ee values of >97%, with analytical yields of 24 and 52%, respectively. The results show that haloalkane dehalogenases can be used for the production of highly enantioenriched haloalcohols and that in some cases product enantiopurity can be improved by allowing a two-step one-enzyme tandem reaction.
