Highly enantioselective insertion of carbenoids into O-H bonds of phenols: An efficient approach to chiral α-aryloxycarboxylic esters

A highly efficient copper-catalyzed asymmetric carbenoid insertion into O-H bonds of phenols has been realized by using chiral spiro bisoxazoline ligands, affording α-aryloxypropionates and the related propionic acids in high yields with excellent enantiomeric excesses. Copyright

Microbial deracemization of alpha-substituted carboxylic acids.

An enzyme system of Nocardia diaphanozonaria JCM 3208 catalyzes the inversion of the chirality of various alpha-substituted carboxylic acids, such as 2-phenylpropanoic acid and 2-phenoxypropanoic acid derivatives, via a novel deracemization reaction.

Preparation of mixtures of (R)- and (S)-2-(4-alkanoylphenoxy)- or (R)- and (S)-2-(4-aroylphenoxy)propionic esters

A mixture of (R)- and (S)-2-(4-alkanoylphenoxy)- or (R)- and (S)-2-(4-aroylphenoxy)propionic esters I STR1 with an enantiomeric excess of at least 90% is prepared by reacting a mixture of (R) and (S) enantiomer of a 2-phenoxypropionic ester II STR2 in which the appropriate (R) or (S) isomer is present in excess, with a carboxylic acid derivative of the formula III (X=OH, halogen, R1 COO or sulfonyloxy) in the presence of a Friedel-Crafts catalyst. The (R)- or (S)-2-(4-alkanoylphenoxy)propionic esters and (R)- or (S)-2-(4-hydroxyphenoxy)propionic esters are used for preparing crop protection agents and drugs.
