Aromatic aldehydes are converted into benzoins by benzoylformate decarboxylase catalyzed C-C bond formation. The reaction affords (R)-benzoins with high enantiomeric excess and in good chemical yields. A broad range of aromatic aldehydes can be used as substrates in aqueous buffer or buffer/DMSO-solutions.

Enantioselective synthesis of hydroxy ketones through cleavage and formation of acyloin linkage. Enzymatic kinetic resolution via C-C bond cleavage Demir, Ayhan Sıtkı; Pohl, M; Janzen, E; Muller, M (2001-01-01) Both enantiomers of benzoins and (R)-2-hydroxy-1-phenylpropanone analogues were obtained in high yield on a preparative scale starting from aromatic aldehydes, rac-benzoins and aliphatic aldehydes via enzyme-catalysed C-C bond cleavage and C-C bond formation reactions.
Enantioselective synthesis of (S)-2-hydroxypropanone derivatives by benzoylformate decarboxylase catalyzed C-C bond formation Dunnwald, T; Demir, Ayhan Sıtkı; Siegert, P; Pohl, M; Muller, M (2000-06-01) Chiral 2-hydroxypropanone derivatives 5a-v, 8a-d, and 10a, b were formed by benzoylformate decarboxylase (BFD) catalyzed C-C bond formation. A donor aldehyde and acetaldehyde as an acceptor were carboligated in aqueous buffer solution with remarkable ease in high chemical yield and good to high optical purity. The substrate range of this thiamin diphosphate dependent enzyme was examined to employ this benzoin condensation type reaction in stereoselective synthesis. The observed dependence of the enantiomeri...
Asymmetric diethylzinc addition to N-sulphonyl and N-phosphinoyl arylaldimines Çağlı, Eda; Doğan, Özdemir; Department of Chemistry (2013) Design of new chiral ligands for asymmetric synthesis is important. The ligand should be economical and efficient in enantioselective transformations. For the synthesis of some natural products and biologically active compounds, optically active amines are used as important intermediates. For this reason, it is significant to develop new catalyst system which can produce optically active amines in an economical and efficient way. Our group developed PFAM ligands and used successfully for the enantioselectiv...
Cloning and expression ofbenzaldehydelyase from Pseudomonas fluorescens Biovar I in Pichia pastoris Büyüksungur, Arda; Çalık, Pınar; Department of Biotechnology (2006) Benzaldehyde lyase (BAL, EC 4.1.2.38) from Pseudomonas fluorescens Biovar I, a thiamine pyrophosphate (ThDP) dependent enzyme, catalyzes the enzymatic kinetic resolution of racemates by C-C bond cleavage and concomitant C-C bond formation. In this study, benzaldehyde lyase gene from Pseudomonas fluorescens Biovar I was cloned into Pichia pastoris, with the aim of the extracellular production of the enzyme. For this purpose, firstly, PCR amplified bal gene was cloned into an integration vector pPICZalphaA. T...
Electrochemical copolymerization of 2-substituted thiophene derivative linked by polyether bridge with thiophene Cihaner, A; Önal, Ahmet Muhtar (2005-09-01) New conducting copolymers have been synthesized via electrochemical oxidation of thiophene (Th) in the presence of monomer bis(2-thienyl)ethyl (1). Cyclic voltammetry (CV) studies showed that the presence of monomer I in the electrolytic solution greatly changes the CV behaviour of the formation of the polythiophene films. It is found that the increasing ratio of I was found to decrease electroactivity of copoly(I-Th). Electrochemical synthesis of copolymer films was achieved via constant potential electrol...
