Chemoenzymatic synthesis of enantiopure hydroxy sulfoxides derived from substituted arenes
Enantiopure β-hydroxy sulfoxides and catechol sulfoxides were obtained, by chemoenzymatic synthesis, involving dioxygenase-catalysed benzylic hydroxylation or arene cis-dihydroxylation and cis-diol dehydrogenase-catalysed dehydrogenation. Absolute configurations of chiral hydroxy sulfoxides were determined by X-ray crystallography, ECD spectroscopy and stereochemical correlation. The application of a new range of β-hydroxy sulfoxides as chiral ligands was examined.

COOXIDATION REACTION OF INDENE AND AROMATIC THIOLS IN THE PRESENCE OF OVOALBUMIN
The thio olefin cooxidation reaction (TOCO) between indene and aromatic thiols in presence of ovalbumin has been studied in hexane.While this reaction under normal conditions leads to the formation of six products, in the presence of OVA gives stereospeci
