Efficient synthesis of photolabile alkoxy benzoin protecting groups

An effective implementation of the Corey-Seebach dithiane addition for the synthesis of photolabile alkoxy benzoin adducts is reported. The method allows for the facile synthesis of photolabile 3',5'-dimethoxybenzoin protected compounds in near quantitati

A family of thiazolium salt derived N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) for organocatalysis: Synthesis, investigation and application in cross-benzoin condensation

A family of thiazolium salt derived N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) bearing sterically demanding aryl substituents on the nitrogen and with varying backbone substitution patterns have been synthesized. Investigation of the catalytic activity of these NHCs in a number of benzoin-type coupling reactions revealed markedly different levels of reactivity and selectivity. To elucidate the underlying factors leading to differences in reactivity, a study of the electronic and steric properties of these NHC catalysts was conducted. By using the best catalyst in this study, the intermolecular cross-benzoin condensation reaction was explored in more detail.

ASYMMETRIC REDUCTION OF BENZIL TO BENZOIN CATALYZED BY THE ENZYME SYSTEM OF A MICROORGANISM

Benzil was reduced by incubation with a bacterium in a nutrient medium to afford (R)-benzoin.Substituted benzils were also hydrogenated to the corresponding benzoins in a similar manner.
