Chemoenzymatic synthesis of chiral β-azidoalcohols. Application to the preparation of chiral aziridines and aminoalcohols
摘要:
From the microbiological reduction of 3-azido-2-octanone, 3-azido-4-phenyl-2-butanone and 1-azido-1-phenyl-2-propanone, homochiral isomers of the corresponding beta-azidoalcohols were prepared. These ''alpha-bichiral'' synthons were used to prepare all the stereoisomers of 2-methyl-3-n-pentylaziridine and 2-methyl-3-benzylaziridine and some homochiral aminoalcohols.
Chemoenzymatic synthesis of chiral epoxides. Preparation of 4-phenyl-2,3-epoxybutane and 1-phenyl-1,2-epoxypropane
摘要:
All the stereoisomers of 4-phenyl-2,3-epoxybutane and 1-phenyl-1,2-epoxypropane (beta-methylstyrene oxide) have been prepared in three steps from 4-phenyl-2-butanone and 1-phenyl-2-propanone or 1-phenyl-1-propanone respectively. The key step is the microbiological reduction of the corresponding haloketones. These results confirm those previously described(1) and demonstrate that the chemoenzymatic synthesis of homochiral 2,3-epoxides is a general method that can be used whatever the starting ketone.

The present invention relates to compositions and methods utilizing thermostable and novel alcohol dehydrogenase enzymes for biosynthesizing chiral specific molecules for use as precursor molecules in synthesizing pharmaceutical compounds. Particularly, in preferred embodiments, the invention relates to directed engineering of an enzymatic catalytic site of an alcohol dehydrogenase enzyme gene for enhancing enantioselectivity for (S)-enantiomer substrate catalytic activity for providing aryl (S)-enantiomer products in stereomeric excess.

reported for the regioselective carbonylation of trans-disubstituted epoxides to cis-β-lactones. The two catalysts display high and opposing selectivities, which generally are difficult to achieve for this class of epoxides. The resulting β-lactones are well-defined precursors for a wide variety of aldol-type compounds. Altogether, carbonylation of disubstituted epoxides is established as a viable and
