Titanium<i>cis</i>-1,2-Diaminocyclohexane (<i>cis</i>-DACH) Salalen Catalysts for the Asymmetric Epoxidation of Terminal Non-Conjugated Olefins with Hydrogen Peroxide
Chiral Ti salalen complexes catalyze the asymmetric epoxidation of terminal non‐conjugated olefins with hydrogen peroxide. Modular ligands based on cis‐1,2‐diamino‐cyclohexane (cis‐DACH) were developed, giving high yields and enantiomeric excesses (ee, up to 96 %) at catalyst loadings as low as 0.1–0.5 mol %, and even under solvent‐free conditions.

Microbiological reduction of 3-bromo-2-octanone and 3-azido-2-octanone led to all the stereoisomers of 3-bromo-2-octanol and 3-azido-2-octanol. Chiral 2,3-epoxyoctanes were prepared from the 3-bromo-2-octanols.

Asymmetric acetylation of racemic halohydrins with vinyl acetate catalyzed by lipase from Pseudomonas sp. afforded the optically active beta-halo alcohols 1 and acetates 2 in high enantiomeric excess (68 to > 98%). The enzymatic kinetic resolution was performed on the preparative scale and the halo alcohols 1 and acetates 2 led to the optically active epoxides 3 after base treatment.

Microbiological transformations. Part 39: Determination of the regioselectivity occurring during oxirane ring opening by epoxide hydrolases: a theoretical analysis and a new method for its determination
In the course of this work we have devised new equations as well as a new method allowing for the total determination of the regioselectivity occurring during biohydrolysis of a racemic epoxide by an epoxide hydrolase. This determination is achievable by simply studying the racemic epoxide as a substrate. The results showed that, depending on the enantioselectivity (E value) and the regioselectivity involved, the absolute configuration as well as the enantiopurity of the residual epoxide and of the formed diol appear to be highly variable. For a specific enzyme/substrate couple, the yield and enantiopurity of the less reactive (remaining) epoxide-and thus the possibility to prepare it in enantiopure form-exclusively depend upon the enzyme enantioselectivity. On the other hand, the ee of the formed diol (eep) depends upon the enantioselectivity and on the regioselectivity of the oxirane ring opening. A theoretical analysis based on the material balance, as well as several practical examples, are provided to illustrate the various possibilities of such biohydrolyses. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd.
