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.

Thiazole derivatives of general formula (I) ##STR1## in which n is 1 or 2 and Ar represents a phenyl radical unsubstituted or substituted by one or more substituents selected from halogen atoms, the radical CF.sub.3, the phenyl radical straight or branched chain alkyl radicals having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, and cycloalkyl radicals having 3 to 6 carbon atoms, and their pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts are useful in therapy as anti-depressive agents. They are prepared by reacting the thiazole ##STR2## with a ketone X--CH.sub.2 --CO--CH.sub.2 O--Ar (III) (X is a leaving group, such as halogen).
