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.

Reductions of (Z)-C6H5CH=CXC(=O)CH3 (X=Cl, Br) mediated by Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Candida albicans, Rhodotorula glutinis, Geotrichum candidum and Micrococcus luteus gave the corresponding halohydrins through consecutive reduction reactions of C=C and C=O bonds. In general, the reactions performed in the biphasic system water/[(bmim)PF6] gave better diastereoselectivity and enantioselectivity than in pure water. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
