A novel, commercially available lipase enzyme panel performing kinetic bioresolutions of a number of secondary alcohols is reported. The secondary alcohols that have been chosen are known from the literature to be particularly challenging substrates to resolve. Following initial screening, four co-solvents were investigated for each lead enzyme in an effort to assess their tolerance to common organic solvents. The superiority of these novel enzymes over lipase B from Candida antarctica (CALB) has been demonstrated. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
Catalytic enantioselective addition of organoaluminum reagents to aldehydes
An efficient catalyst for the asymmetric addition of organoaluminum reagents to aldehydes is presented. The system is based on a readily available binaphthyl derivative as a chiral ligand and an excess of titanium tetraisopropoxide. The asymmetric methylation, ethylation, and propylation of a wide variety of aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes proceeded with good yields and with high enantioselectivities in a simple one-pot procedure under mild conditions.

Chiral allenylboronic esters: a practical reagent for enantioselective carbon-carbon bond formation
A study of the enantioselectivity exhibited by the lipase B from Candida antarctica in the transesterification of different alpha-substituted alpha-propylmethanols with vinyl acetate is shown. The best results are obtained when the large-sized (L) substituent of the alcohol is either a phenyl group or more especially a cyclohexyl group, although the reaction rates are lower than when linear or slightly branched groups are present. It is also found that ramification at the beta-position of the L substituent has a deleterious effect on both lipase activity and enantioselectivity. Moreover, some alpha-substituted benzyl alcohols bearing medium-sized (M) substituents larger than an ethyl and smaller than a propyl group are resolved by means of this methodology with moderate-good enantioselectivities (E=46-57) and similar reaction rates.
