Chemoenzymatic approaches to obtain chiral-centered selenium compounds
摘要:
The synthesis of chiral-centered selenium compounds is presented. Enantioselective oxidations of these organoselenium compounds were performed using a wide range of biocatalysts, including Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenases, oxidoreductases-containing Aspergillus terreus and lipase (Cal-B) in the presence of oxidants. Finally, efficient synthesis of enantiopure organoselenium compounds using a kinetic resolution approach mediated by Cal-B was achieved. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

A novelregioselectivereaction of styrene with the prepared magnesium organoselenolates from magnesium, alkyl or aryl bromides, and selenium has been developed in one pot. The reaction catalyzed by CuI and l-proline proceeded in THF, water, and toluene. The scope and limitations of this reaction have been examined. The reaction afforded unsymmetrical selenides containing 12 new compounds in good to
