Biotransformation of organic sulfides. Part 6. Formation of chiral para-substituted benzyl methyl sulfoxides by Helminthosporium species NRRL 4671
摘要:
The fungus Helminthosporium species NRRL 4671 has been used for the biotransformation of a series of para-substituted benzyl sulfides with substituent groups consisting of trifluoromethyl, halo, hydroxy, methoxy, acetoxy, nitro, cyano, amino, acetamido, acyl and carboxylic acid units. In all cases, sulfoxide formation occurred in good yield and with predominant (S) chirality at the sulfur position. A minor amount of sulfone product was also obtained from the halo- and methoxy-substituted substrates.
(RR-1), recognized p-halobenzyl methylsulfoxides with high R-enantioselectivity (86–99% ee) to form inclusion compounds. The single-crystal X-ray analyses showed that RR-1 molecules are arranged in parallel and zigzags via hydrogen bonding to construct a pleated sheet. The guest molecules that form hydrogen bond with +NH3 of RR-1 are accommodated in the channel cavity between the layers. In contrast to
