Unique biocatalytic resolution of racemic tetrahydroberberrubine via kinetic glycosylation and enantio-selective sulfation.
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this communication, we document a facile kinetic glycosylation resolution of racemic tetrahydroberberrubine. We also demonstrate that the enantiomeric excess of the resolved products is increased via a second resolution of the minor product of the first glycosylation resolution. This provides a rare example of tandem kinetic resolution of racemates.

Enantio-Convergent Nucleophilic Substitution Reaction of Racemic Electrophiles Catalyzed by Chiral Brønsted Acid
Among the methods for asymmetric synthesis, enantioselective catalysis is one of the representatives to produce enantio-enriched molecules in an efficient and practical manner. Catalytic enantioselective nucleophilic addition to pro-chiral electrophiles such as aldehydes, ketones, imines, and electron deficient double bonds is one of the most extensively investigated reactions, and substantial ...
متن کاملA Crystallization-Induced Asymmetric Transformation using Racemic Phenyl Alanine Methyl Ester Derivatives as Versatile Precursors to Prepare Amino Acids
L-Tyrosine and L-Dopa are the precursors in the biological synthesis of amine neurotransmitters. On the other hand, phenylalanine as an aromatic amino acid (AAA) is a precursor in the synthesis of L-Tyrosine and L-Dopa. For some substrates such as amino acids, resolution by the formation of diastereomers offers an attractive alternative. Among different methods in this case, crystallization-ind...
متن کاملDynamic Kinetic Asymmetric Cross-Benzoin Additions of β-Stereogenic α-Keto Esters
The dynamic kinetic resolution of β-halo α-keto esters via an asymmetric cross-benzoin reaction is described. A chiral N-heterocyclic carbene catalyzes the umpolung addition of aldehydes to racemic α-keto esters. The resulting fully substituted β-halo glycolic ester products are obtained with high levels of enantio- and diastereocontrol. The high chemoselectivity observed is a result of greater...
متن کاملBiocatalytic Properties and Structural Analysis of Eugenol Oxidase from Rhodococcus jostii RHA1: A Versatile Oxidative Biocatalyst
Eugenol oxidase (EUGO) from Rhodococcus jostii RHA1 had previously been shown to convert only a limited set of phenolic compounds. In this study, we have explored the biocatalytic potential of this flavoprotein oxidase, resulting in a broadened substrate scope and a deeper insight into its structural properties. In addition to the oxidation of vanillyl alcohol and the hydroxylation of eugenol, ...
متن کاملTwo-step enantio-selective optical switch.
We present an optical "enantio-selective switch" that, in two steps, turns a ("racemic") mixture of left-handed and right-handed chiral molecules into the enantiomerically pure state of interest. The optical switch is composed of an "enantio-discriminator" and an "enantio-converter" acting in tandem. The method is robust, insensitive to decay processes, and does not require molecular preorienta...
