Directed Metal (Oxo) Aliphatic C–H Hydroxylations: Overriding Substrate Bias
摘要:
The first general strategy for a directing effect on metal (oxo)-promoted C-H hydroxylations is described. Carboxylic acid moieties on the substrate overcome unfavorable electronic, steric, and stereoelectronic biases in C-H hydroxylations catalyzed by the non-heme iron complex Fe(PDP). In a demonstration of the power of this directing effect, C-H oxidation is diverted away from an electronically favored C-1 H abstraction/rearrangement pathway in the paclitaxel framework to enable installation of C-2 oxidation in the naturally occurring oxidation state and stereoconfiguration.
Enantioselective CC bond reduction of unsaturated α-chloro esters by old yellow enzymes
摘要:
The reduction of the C=Cdouble bond of some unsaturated alpha-chloro esters was investigated by means of cloned and overexpressed enoate reductases. The results were compared with those obtained by employing baker's yeast whole cells. The anti stereochemistry of hydrogen additions was confirmed by deuterium labeling experiments.

The CD of some carboxylic acid esters has been investigated in various solvents. Two bands were found in the 200–250 nm range for all esters and also for lactone 9. The band at 230 nm depends on the nucleophilicity of the heteroatom attached to the asymmetric centre, and vanishes in acidic media. On the basis of these observations and of the solvent effect, the 230 nm band has been assigned to the
