Chloroperoxidase-catalyzed asymmetric oxidations: substrate specificity and mechanistic study.
摘要:
The substrate specificity of chloroperoxidase from Caldaromyces fumago in a number of halide-independent reactions was investigated and the ability of this enzyme to perform benzylic hydroxylations with high enantioselectivity is revealed. The substrate repertoire of chloroperoxidase is expanded and the enantioselectivity data for synthetically useful epoxidations are reported. The enzyme epoxidizes straight chain aliphatic and cyclic cis-olefins in a highly stereoselective manner favoring small unsubstituted substrates in which the double bond is not more than two carbon atoms from the terminal. The epoxidation of short-chain prochiral terminal dienes proceeds with high diastereoselectivity and moderate enantioselectivity, yielding monoepoxides exclusively. Unsubstituted straight-chain terminal olefins seven carbons or longer are epoxidized poorly. Aliphatic and aromatic alcohols are efficiently oxidized to aldehydes and acids. The utilization of radical probe substrate trans-2-phenyl-1-methylcyclopropane revealed that the mechanism of chloroperoxidase-catalyzed hydroxylation is incompatible with the existence of a discrete radical intermediate and most likely proceeds via transfer of the oxygen atom from the high valent iron oxo intermediate directly to the substrate.

A variety of nonconjugated cis-olefins has been enantioselectively epoxidized with chiral ketones 2, and up to 92% ee has been obtained. The two prochiral faces of an olefin are likely stereodifferentiated by the relative hydrophobicity of the olefin substituents and/or allylic oxygen functionality.

trans-beta-Lactones are a versatile and useful class of compounds, but reliable methods for their direct synthesis are still limited. Addressing this problem, we present herein two catalysts for the regioselective carbonylation of cis-disubstituted epoxides. The two catalysts show high activities and opposing regioselectivities so that either one of the two possible beta-lactone regioisomers can be obtained selectively.

activated substrates to achieve appreciable conversion without side product formation. Motivated by stereoinvertive epoxide carbonylation reactions, we developed a two-step epoxidation/deoxygenation process that results in overall inversion of alkene stereochemistry. Unlike most deoxygenation systems, carbon monoxide was used as the terminal reductant, preventing difficult postreaction separations, given
