Diastereo- and Enantioselective Synthesis of (E)-δ-Boryl-Substituted anti-Homoallylic Alcohols in Two Steps from Terminal Alkynes

We report the highly diastereo- and enantioselective preparation of (E)-δ-boryl-substituted anti-homoallylic alcohols in two steps from terminal alkynes. This method consists of a cobalt(II)-catalyzed 1,1-diboration reaction of terminal alkynes with B2pin2 and a palladium(I)-mediated asymmetric allylation reaction of the resulting 1,1-di(boryl)alk-1-enes with aldehydes in the presence of a chiral phosphoric acid. Propyne, which is produced as the byproduct during petroleum refining, could be used as the starting material to construct homoallylic alcohols that are otherwise difficult to synthesize with high stereocontrol.

A simple and efficient synthesis of the target pheromone in its enantiomeric forms has been formulated using easily accessible (R)-2,3- isopropanedioxyglyceraldehyde (2) as the single starting chiron.

A carbonyl reductase variant,SmCRM5, fromSerratia marcescenswas obtained through structure-guided directed evolution. The variant showed improved specific activity (U mg?1) towards most of the 16 tested substrates and gave high stereoselectivities of up to 99% in the asymmetric synthesis of 13 γ-/δ-lactones. In particular, SmCRM5showed a 13.8-fold higher specific activity towards the model substrate,i.e., 5-oxodecanoic acid, and gave (R)-δ-decalactone in 99% ee with a space-time yield (STY) of 301 g L?1d?1. The preparative synthesis of six δ-lactones in high yields and with high enantiopurities showed the feasibility of the biocatalytic synthesis of these high-value-added chemicals, providing a cost-effective and green alternative to noble-metal catalysis.

The self-sufficient cytochrome P450 monooxygenase CYP505E3 from Aspergillus terreus catalyzes the regioselective in-chain hydroxylation of alkanes, fatty alcohols, and fatty acids at the ω-7 position. It is the first reported P450 to give regioselective in-chain ω-7 hydroxylation of C10–C16 n-alkanes, thereby enabling the one step biocatalytic synthesis of rare alcohols such as 5-dodecanol and 7-tetradecanol. It shows more than 70 percent regioselectivity for the eighth carbon from one methyl terminus, and displays remarkably high activity towards decane (TTN≈8000) and dodecane (TTN≈2000). CYP505E3 can be used to synthesize the high-value flavour compound δ-dodecalactone via two routes: 1) conversion of dodecanoic acid into 5-hydroxydodecanoic acid (24 percent regioselectivity), which at low pH lactonises to δ-dodecalactone, and 2) conversion of 1-dodecanol into 1,5-dodecanediol (55 percent regioselectivity), which can be converted into δ-dodecalactone by horse liver alcohol dehydrogenase.

Photocatalysis is a rapidly evolving area of research in modern organic synthesis. Among the traditional photocatalysts, metal-complexes based on ruthenium or iridium are the most common. Herein, we present the synthesis of two photoactive, ruthenium-based complexes bearing pyridine-quinoline or terpyridine ligands with extended aromatic conjugation. Our complexes were utilized in the atom transfer radical addition (ATRA) of haloalkanes to olefins, using bromoacetonitrile or bromotrichloromethane as the source of the alkyl group. The tailor-made ruthenium-based catalyst bearing the pyridine-quinoline bidentate ligand proved to be the best-performing photocatalyst, among a range of metal complexes and organocatalysts, efficiently catalyzing both reactions. These photocatalytic atom transfer protocols can be expanded into a broad scope of olefins. In both protocols, the photocatalytic reactions led to products in good to excellent isolated yields.
