On the stereochemistry of the Baker's Yeast-mediated reduction of regioisomeric unsaturated aldehydes: Examples of enantioselectivity switch promoted by substrate-engineering
摘要:
The Baker's Yeast (BY) reduction of (Z)-2-chloromethyl-3-arylacrylaldehydes was found to afford (R)-2-methyl-3-aryl-propanols showing high enantiomeric excess values. Deuterium incorporation experiments were performed, in order to investigate the mechanism of the bioreduction: the formation of the corresponding substituted 2-benzylacrylaldehydes. as intermediates to be effectively reduced by Baker's Yeast, was suggested. These intermediates were synthesized and submitted to BY reduction to afford the corresponding saturated (R)-alcohols, thus confirming the conclusions drawn from labelling experiments. The enantioselectivity of their bioreduction was found to be opposite with respect to that observed for the corresponding regioisomeric 2-methylcinnamaldehydes. The preparation of the two enantiomers of 2-methyl-3-aryl-propanols by fermentation of two regioisomers represents an interesting example of substrate-controlled enantioselective reaction.

An efficient intramolecular arene‐alkene oxidativecoupling of 1,4‐diaryl‐1,3‐butadienes has been developed involving the use of a 2,3‐dichloro‐5,6‐dicyano‐para‐benzoquinone (DDQ)/acid catalyst. The reaction involves the generation of a radical cation by abstraction of an electron from the substrate with DDQ, an intramolecular Friedel–Crafts‐type reaction, and the loss of hydrogen radical.

afforded spirodihydronaphthalene‐2‐oxindole frameworks via an oxidative Heck arylation (Fujiwara–Moritani reaction), an allylic palladium migration, and an aryl CHbond functionalization/arylation cascade of reactions. This is a first example of the palladium‐catalyzed oxidative arylation and an aryl CHbond functionalization/arylation cascade reaction which involves an electrophilic arylative quenching

An asymmetric synthesis of aza analogues of the ABC ring system of phorbol and related compounds containing the 5-7-6-fused framework of daphnane involved construction of the central seven-membered ring by a regioselective reduction of a chiral imide and cyclization with trifluoromethanesulfonic acid. Subsequent demethylation and oxidative dearomatization of ring C afforded an enantiopure dienone 20 with the same relative and absolute configuration at the 9- and 10-positions of the phorbol skeleton.
