Asymmetric reduction of α-thiocyanatoketones by Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Mortierella isabellina—a new route to optically active thiiranes
摘要:
A simple method for the preparation of optically active 1-aryloxy- and 1-arylsulphanyl-3-thiocyanatopropan-2-oles from racemic 1-chloro-3-aryloxy- and 1-chloro-3-arylsulphanyl-2-propanols via 1-aryloxy- and 1-arylsulphanyl-3-thiocyanatopropan-2-ones has been developed. The enantiomerically enriched beta-hydroxythiocyanates were obtained by a microbiological reduction of the thiocyanatoketones with Saccharomyces cerevisiae or Mortierella isabellina and subsequently converted into optically active thiiranes on treatment with a lithium hydroxide solution.

An effective synthesis of highly functionalized 3-nitrothiophenes was achieved from the reaction of simple, inexpensive, and readily available dipotassium 2-nitro-1,1-ethylyenedithiolate with α-chloromethyl ketones in toluene catalyzed by tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBAB). Thiophene formation is highly sensitive and selective for chlorine, present as a leaving group in α-chloromethyl ketones.
