Both enantiomers of cis-β-ethyl, β-n-propyl, β-n-butyl, and β-n-hexyl substituted styrene oxides undergo microsomal epoxide hydrolase catalysed hydration at the (S) carbon to give the corresponding (R,R) threo diols in a > 90% e.e. A complete kinetic resolution of the racemic epoxide is also obtained with the β-ethyl substituted substrate, but not with its higher homologues.
顺式-β-乙基,β-正丙基,β-正丁基和β-正己基取代的
苯乙烯氧化物的两种对映体均在(S)碳上经历微粒体
环氧化物水解酶催化的
水合反应,得到相应的(R,R )> 90%ee的苏糖二醇使用β-乙基取代的底物也可获得外消旋
环氧化物的完整动力学拆分,但其同系物较高。
