Enzymatic desymmetrization/resolution of epoxydiols derived from 1,4-naphthoquinone, 5-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone and 5,8-dihydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone
摘要:
The enzymatic desymmetrization/resolution of epoxydiols generated from the basic epoxidation and reduction of 1,4-naphthoquoinone, 5-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone and 5,8-dihydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone is described. 2,3-Epoxy-1(alpha),2(alpha),3(alpha),4(alpha)-tetrahydronaphthalene-1,4-diol and 5,8-diallyloxy-2,3-epoxy-1(alpha),2(alpha),3(alpha),4(alpha)-tetrahydronaphthalene-1,4-diol were desymmetrized in the presence of isopropenyl acetate using Burholderia cepacia lipase and Candida antartica lipase B, respectively. An enzymatic resolution of 8-benzyloxy-2,3-epoxy-1(alpha),2(alpha),3(alpha),4(alpha)-tetrahydronaphthalene-1,4-diol using B. cepacia lipase in isopropenyl acetate is also described.

Via a strategy of asymmetricreductive desymmetrization, chiral cis-epoxy naphthoquinols with multiple contiguous stereocenters and functional groups were synthesized with excellent enantioselectivities (96–99% ee) and diastereoselectivities (8/1–15/1). A combined asymmetric hydrogenation/transfer hydrogenation mechanism was proposed based on experimental results.
