The selective conversion of 2,2,2-trifluoro-1-furan-2-yl-ethanone into (E)- and (Z)-oximes and oxime ethers and subsequent oxazaborolidine-catalyzed enantioselective reduction using different amino alcohols furnished both enantiomers of the important chiral building block 2,2,2-trifluoro-1-furan-2-yl-ethylamine with e.e. of up to 88%. Oxidation of the furan ring afforded both enantiomers of 3,3,3-trifluoroalanine in 91-93% yields.

The selective conversion of 1-(2-furyl)-2-hydroxyethan-1-one and ethyl 2-(2-furyl)-2-oxo acetate into (E)- and (Z)-oximes and oxime ethers followed by oxazaborolidine-catalyzed enantioselective reduction using different amino alcohols furnished both enantiomers of the important chiral building block 2-amino-2-(2-furyl)ethan-1-ol with an ee of up to 96%.
A new and efficient chemoenzymatic route to both enantiomers of alpha '-acetoxy and alpha '-hydroxy-alpha-methoxy cyclic enones
Demir, Ayhan Sıtkı; Caliskan, Z; Aydin, AE; Bicer, I (Elsevier BV, 2006-03-06)
A chemoenzymatic synthesis of both enantiomers of the pharmacologically interesting alpha'-acetoxy and alpha'-hydroxy-alpha-methoxy cyclic enones starting from alpha-hydroxy cyclic enones is described. Protection of 1,2-diketones, manganese(III) acetate-mediated acetoxylation followed by enzyme-mediated hydrolysis of alpha'-acetoxy enones gives acetoxy enones 3a-d and hydroxy enones 4a-d with high enantiomeric excesses (up to 99%) and good yields. The transesterification of rac-4b in the presence of DMAP af...
A new and efficient chemoenzymatic route to both enantiomers of alpha '-acetoxy-alpha-methyl and gamma-hydroxy-alpha-methyl cyclic enones
Demir, Ayhan Sıtkı; Findik, H; Kose, E (Elsevier BV, 2004-03-08)
A chemoenzymatic synthesis of both enantiomers of the pharmacologically interesting alpha'-acetoxy-alpha-methyl and gamma-hydroxy-alpha-methyl cyclic enones starting from alpha-methyl-beta-methoxy cyclic enones is reported. Manganese(Ill) acetate-mediated acetoxylation followed by the enzyme-mediated hydrolysis of alpha'-acetoxy enone provides acetoxy enones 1a and 2a and hydroxy enones 1b and 2b with high enantiomeric excesses in good yields. The reduction of the acetoxy and hydroxy enones furnished both e...
Catalytic enantioselective addition of diethylzinc to aldehydes using aziridine based chiral ligands
BULUT, Adnan; ASLAN, Ayhan; İZGÜ, Enver Cagri; Doğan, Özdemir (Elsevier BV, 2007-05-16)
The readily available ferrocenyl substituted aziridinylmethanol 1 (FAM-1) was used as a chiral catalyst in the diethylzinc addition reaction to aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes to give secondary alcohols in high yields and up to 99% enantiomeric excess at room temperature. The catalyst can be recovered and used without losing its activity.
A facile synthesis of various butenolides
Tanyeli, Cihangir (Informa UK Limited, 2000-01-01)
The synthesis of alpha'-acyloxy-alpha,beta-unsaturated cyclic ketones from the corresponding alpha,beta-unsaturated cyclic ketones by using manganese (III) acetate in combination with 2-chloropropionic acid followed by subsequent Arbuzov and intramolecular Horner-Emmons cyclization reactions provided a convenient synthetic pathway to various butenolides 4a-d.
