cis-Dihydrocatechols, derived from biological cis-dihydroxylation of methyl benzoate, iodobenzene and benzonitrile, using the microorganism Pseudomonas putida UV4, were converted into pericosines A, C, and B, respectively. This approach constitutes the shortest syntheses, to date, of these important natural products with densely packed functionalities.
Enantiopure arene dioxides: Chemoenzymatic synthesis and application in the production of trans-3,4-dihydrodiols
Boyd,Sharma,O'Dowd,Hempenstall
, p. 2151 - 2152 (2007/10/03)
Enantiopure syn- and anti-arene dioxides are synthesised from cis-dihydrodiol metabolites; anti-benzene dioxides are reduced to enantiopure trans-3,4-dihydrodiols while synbenzene dioxides racemise thermally via 1,4-dioxocins.
