Biocatalytic asymmetric and enantioconvergent hydrolysis of trisubstituted oxiranes
摘要:
Asymmetric biohydrolysis of trialkyl oxiranes (+/-)-1a-3a using the epoxide hydrolase activity of whole bacterial cells proceeded in an enantioconvergent fashion and thus led to the corresponding (R)-configurated vicinal diols Ib 3b in Lip to 97% enantiomeric excess (e.e.) as the sole product. The mechanism of this enantioconvergence vas investigated by O-18-labelling experiments and it was found that both enantiomers were hydrolysed with opposite regioselectivity.

The rhodium-catalyzed reaction between bis(catecholato)diboron and simple alkenes results in the syn addition of the diboron across the alkene. The resulting 1,2-bis(boronate) is subsequently oxidized to provide the 1,2-diol. In the presence of enantiomerically enriched Quinap ligand, high enantioselection in the diboration can be achieved. The reaction is highly selective for trans- and trisubstituted alkenes and can be selective for some monosubstituted alkenes as well. The development of this reaction is described as is the substrate scope and experiments that are informative about the reaction mechanism and competing pathways.
