Regio-selective hydroxylation of gem-difluorinated octanes by alkane hydroxylase (AlkB)
摘要:
gem-Difluoromethylene substituted molecules constitute a distinct class of fluorinated compounds. In this study, special chemistry has been developed for their preparation based on the highly selective terminal hydroxylation of these gem-difluorinated octanes by AlkB (alkane hydroxylase) from Pseudomonas putida Gpo1 to form gem-difluorinated octan-1-ols. The hydroxylation reaction is performed by whole-cell catalysis. Identification of the distal- and proximal-hydroxylation products was made by H-1, C-13, and F-19 NMR; GC and GC/MSD; and/or by comparison with authentic standards in GC. To the best of our knowledge, we have obtained the first synthesis of 2,2-, 3,3- and 4,4-difluorooctan-1-ols, from simple and inexpensive starting materials. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

The reductive cleavage of benzaldehyde acetals and acetophenone ketals with the air-stable crystalline 9-borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane dimer provides monobenzylated ether derivatives of diols and 1,2-oxygen-transposed β-phenethyl alcohols, respectively. The boron moiety is effectively recovered through simple procedures which involve convenient air-stable reagents and boron byproducts. The process is particularly
We developed a chromium-catalyzed, photochemical, and linear-selective alkylation of aldehydes with alkylzirconium species generated in situ from a wide range of alkenes and Schwartz’s reagent. Photochemical homolysis of the C–Zr bond afforded alkyl radicals, which were then trapped by a chromium complex catalyst to generate the alkylchromium(III) species for polar addition to aldehydes. The reaction
