Diphenylprolinol silyl ether was found to promote asymmetric, catalytic and direct α-benzoyloxylation of aldehydes with benzoyl peroxide to afford oxidized products in good yields with excellent enantioselectivity.
Lipase-catalyzed alcoholysis of diol dibenzoates: selective enzymatic access to the 2-benzoyl ester of 1,2-propanediol and preparation of the enantiomerically pure (R)-1-O-benzoyl-2-methylpropane-1,3-diol
Enzymatic debenzoylation of 1,2-propanediol dibenzoate with 1-octanol has been studied in organic solvent using lipases from different sources. In general a slow, highly regioselective alcoholysis in diisopropyl ether affords exclusively a monoester benzoylated at the secondary hydroxy group although the reaction proceeds with low enantioselectivity. In the presence of Pseudomonas cepacia lipase absorbed
Nitrogen-tethered bisimidazoline (Nb-imidazoline) ligand was utilized in the Cu(I)-catalyzed benzoylation of 1,2-diols. With the assistance of i-Pr(2)NEt, the reaction of rac-1,2-diols with o-methylbenzoyl chloride was smoothly catalyzed by Nb-imidazoline-CuCl in CH(2)Cl(2) to give the corresponding o-methylbenzoylated secondary alcohols in tip to 79% ee.
A simple method for the asymmetric alpha-oxybenzoylation of aldehydes is presented. Treatment of a series of aldehydes with benzoyl peroxide in the presence of a MacMillan imidazolidinone leads directly to the alpha-oxybenzoylated product with excellent levels of asymmetric induction.
