O-Protected cyclic acyloins were obtained in nonracemic form through asymmetric bioreduction of α,β-unsaturated alkoxy ketones by using 11 different enoate reductases from the "Old Yellow Enzyme" family. The stereochemical outcome of the biotransformation could be switched by variation of the O-protecting group or by the ring size of the substrate, which allows access to both stereoisomers in up to >97 % ee Whereas α-alkoxy enones were readily accepted as substrates, β-analogs were not converted. Overall, α-alkoxy enones represent a novel type of substrate for flavin-dependent ene-reductases. Copyright
Intramolecular 4+3 cycloadditions. A cyclohexenyl cation, its halogenated congener and a quasi-Favorskii rearrangement

Treatment of alkoxycyclohexenols bearing a tethered diene substituent with a Lewis acid results in intramolecular 4+3 cycloaddition with complete endo selectivity. A cycloadduct bearing a bromo substituent at a bridgehead position undergoes a quasi-Favorskii rearrangement in near quantitative yield upon reaction with lithium aluminum hydride.

The reduction of αβ-unsaturated ketones with γ-sulfide, sulfoxide, sulfone, nitrile and ester functions has been investigated.Both C=O and C=C reduction was observed.In the sulfur series, C=O bond reduction was always observed, but significant C=C bond reduction was observed only with the sulfide.The unsaturated nitriles gave the corresponding alcohols as the major bioreduction product, with smaller but significant amounts of fully reduced product.A similar result was obtained with the ester substrate.Relative and absolute configurations of bioreduction products were determined.A comparison was made between reductions catalysed by bakers' yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) and by other yeasts (Zygosaccharomyces rouxii, Pichia capsulata, P. farinosa, Candida chalmersi and C. diddensiae).The tendency of Z. rouxii to give products enantiomeric with thouse obtained using S. cerevisiae was noted.The relationship between substrate structure and the stereochemistry of C=C double bond reduction is discussed.
