Baker's yeast mediated stereoselective biotransformation of 1-acetoxy-3-aryloxypropan-2-ones
摘要:
A series of 1-acetoxy-3-aryloxypropan-2-ones la-m were synthesized and subjected to biotransformation by baker's yeast yielding optically active monoacetates 5 or ent-5 and/or diols 4 of moderate to excellent enantiomeric purity. The dependence of the reduction/hydrolysis ratio and stereoselectivity on the size and substitution pattern of the aromatic moiety in the substrate is also discussed. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd.

1,2,3-Trimethoxypropane and Glycerol Ethers as Bio-Sourced Solvents from Glycerol. Synthesis by Solvent-Free Phase-Transfer Catalysis and Utilization as an Alternative Solvent in Chemical Transformations
phase‐transfer catalyst with no additional solvent. No heating was required, and the synthesis was easily performed under atmospheric pressure on a 150 g scale. For the preparation of 2, the conversion of glycerol was complete and the selectivity for the expected glycerol trimethylether was above 95 %. This product was utilized as a solvent in organic reactions such as transesterifications between glycerol
Heterogeneous Palladium-Catalyzed Synthesis of Aromatic Ethers by Solvent-Free Dehydrogenative Aromatization: Mechanism, Scope, and Limitations Under Aerobic and Non-Aerobic Conditions
derivatives and alcohols, both non-aromatic precursors, aryl ethers could be synthesized in good yields and with good selectivities in the presence of a catalytic amount of Pd/C, in one step, without added solvent, in a reaction vessel open to air. For less reactive substrates, the addition of 1-octene in a closed system undernon-aerobicconditions improved the conversion. In addition, the catalyst could
Regioselective elimination of a vicinal bis-triflate having an adjacent ether oxygen functional group has been developed. Considered in the context of our studies of the regioselective elimination of vicinaldibromide, the key to the mechanism involves the electron-withdrawing inductive effect of the neighboring oxygen functional group. Aliphatic vinyl triflate was shown to be effective in Suzuki–Miyaura
Straightforward heterogeneous palladium catalyzed synthesis of aryl ethers and aryl amines via a solvent free aerobic and non-aerobic dehydrogenative arylation
Aryl ethers have been prepared from cyclohexanone derivatives and various alcohols in the presence of a catalytic amount of palladium on charcoal. The formation of an enol ether followed by an aerobic or non-aerobic dehydrogenation reaction, seem to be the key steps of this transformation. In addition, this new method was also adapted for the synthesis of arylamines.

Abstract Amberlite IRA‐400 supported phenoxide and naphthoxide anions are easily prepared. These polymer supported reagents that are highly air stable are used for the regioselective ringopening reactions of different epoxides to give aryl ether alcohols in high yields under mild reaction conditions.
