Metal-Bound or Free Ylides as Reaction Intermediates in Metal-Catalyzed [2,3]-Sigmatropic Rearrangements? It Depends.

Опубликована: Ноя. 3, 2020

<p>Density functional theory calculations were applied to study four previously published metal-catalyzed [2,3]-rearrangements from onium ylide intermediates, in pursuit of generalizations about when, during these types reactions, catalysts dissociate. Our results corroborate past studies where free mechanisms proposed be operative. Calculations on case predict that the origin metal-catalyst ‘falling off’ (dissociation) can attributed primarily steric bulkiness groups adjacent carbene carbon. </p>

Chemoenzymatic Cascades for the Enantioselective Synthesis of β‐Hydroxysulfides Bearing a Stereocentre at the C−O or C−S Bond by Ketoreductases

Angewandte Chemie, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 134(31)

Опубликована: Май 16, 2022

Abstract Chiral β‐hydroxysulfides are an important class of organic compounds which find broad application in and pharmaceutical chemistry. Herein we describe the development novel biocatalytic chemoenzymatic methods for enantioselective synthesis by exploiting ketoreductase (KRED) enzymes. Four KREDs were discovered from a pool 384 enzymes identified isolated through metagenomic approach. KRED311 KRED349 catalysed bearing stereocentre at C−O bond with opposite absolute configurations excellent ee values biocatalytic‐chemical‐biocatalytic (bio‐chem‐bio) cascades starting commercially available thiophenols/thiols α‐haloketones/alcohols. KRED253 KRED384 C−S enantioselectivities dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR) racemic α‐thioaldehydes.
