Herein we report a novel synthetic reaction to convert unactivated terminal aliphatic epoxide to alkyl vicinal dichloride based on triphosgene–pyridine activation. Our methodology is operationally simple and readily tolerated by a broad of scope of substrates as well as protecting groups. Furthermore, these mild conditions generally yield clean reaction mixtures that are free of byproducts upon aqueous

Waste not, want not: A carefully optimized directedevolutionstrategy was used to obtain two enantiocomplementaryhaloalkanedehalogenase variants that convert the toxic waste compound 1,2,3‐trichloropropane into either (R)‐ or (S)‐2,3‐dichloropropan‐1‐ol. The products can be converted into optically active epichlorohydrins that could be used for the preparation of various chiral pharmaceuticals.

Six different bacterial haloalkane dehalogenases were recombinantly produced in Escherichia coli, purified, and used to catalyse the conversion of prochiral short-chain dihaloalkanes and a meso dihaloalkane, yielding enantioenriched haloalcohols. A two-reaction one-enzyme process was established in which the desymmetrisation of a dihaloalkane is followed by kinetic resolution of the chiral haloalcohol that is produced in the first step. In case of 1,3-dibromo-2-methylpropane and 1,3-dibromo-2-phenylpropane, an increase of the enantiomeric excess of the respective haloalcohol was observed in time, leading to ee values of >97%, with analytical yields of 24 and 52%, respectively. The results show that haloalkane dehalogenases can be used for the production of highly enantioenriched haloalcohols and that in some cases product enantiopurity can be improved by allowing a two-step one-enzyme tandem reaction.
