Highly Stereoselective Chemoenzymatic Synthesis of the 3H-Isobenzofuran Skeleton. Access to Enantiopure 3-Methylphthalides
摘要:
A straightforward synthesis of (S)-3-methylphthalides has been developed, with the key asymmetric step being the bioreduction of 2-acetylbenzonitriles. Enzymatic processes have been found to be highly dependent on the pH value, with acidic conditions being required to avoid undesired side reactions. Baker's yeast was found lobe the best biocatalyst acting in a highly stereoselective fashion. The simple treatment of the reaction crudes with aqueous HCl has provided access to enantiopure (S)-3-methylphthalides in moderate to excellent yields.

dinuclear rare-earth metal complexes [REL1]2 (RE = Y(1), Eu(2), Nd(3), La (4)) stabilized by Trost proligand H3L1 (H3L1 = (S,S)-2,6-bis[2-(hydroxydiphenylmethyl)pyrrolidin-1-ylmethyl]-4-methylphenol) were first prepared, and all were characterized by X-ray diffraction. Complex 4 was employed as the catalyst for enantioselective hydroboration reaction of substituted ketones, and the corresponding secondary

(KRED1-Pglu) was used for the enantioselective reduction of various mono-substituted acetophenones. Reaction rates of meta- and para-derivatives were consistent with the electronic effects described by σ-Hammett coefficients; on the other hand, enantioselectivity was determined by an opposite orientation of the substrate in the binding pocket. Reduction of ortho-derivatives occurred only with substrates
