A highly regioselective and stereospecific enzyme-catalyzed Meinwald rearrangement of internal and cyclic epoxides through a 1,2-methyl shift gave aldehydes or ketones as the sole product with enantio-retention. The unique isomerization was incorporated into enantioselective cascades, providing novel access to chiral alcohols, acids and amines from readily available trans-β-methylstyrenes.
高度区域选择性和立体特异性酶催化的内部和环状环氧化物通过 1,2-甲基移位的 Meinwald 重排产生醛或酮作为具有对映保留的唯一产物。独特的异构化被整合到对映选择性级联中,提供了从容易获得的反式-β-甲基苯乙烯中获得手性醇、酸和胺的新途径。
