(13)C NMR, alone or in combination with (1)H NMR, allows the assignment of the absolute configuration of chiral alcohols, amines, carboxylic acids, thiols, cyanohydrins, sec,sec-diols and sec,sec-aminoalcohols, derivatized with appropriate chiral auxiliaries. This extends the assignment possibilities of NMR to fully deuterated and to nonproton containing compounds.
Opportunities for insiders: A catalytic pinacol-type reductiverearrangement of 1,2-internal diols was developed by the use of a simple boron catalyst and two silanes (see scheme). The reaction occurs through a concerted, stereoinvertive mechanism and is applicable to several substrate scaffolds not usually amenable to pinacol-type reactions, such as aliphatic secondary–secondary diols, without the

Asymmetric biocatalytichydrolysis of (±)-2,3-disubstituted oxiranes leading to the formation of vicinal diols in up to 97% ee at 100% conversion was accomplished by using the epoxide hydrolase activity of various bacterial strains. The mechanism of this deracemization was elucidated by 18OH2-labelling experiments using a partially purified epoxide hydrolase from Nocardia EH1. The reaction was shown
