An efficient chemoenzymatic route for the synthesis of optically active aromatic ring fused cyclic tertiary alcohols (S)-(-)-1-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalen-1-ol (-)-1b and (S)-(+)-1-methyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-1-ol (+)-1a has been developed. Different lipases have been tested in the transesterification of these tertiary alcohols; CAL-A (Candida antarctica Lipase A) was found to be the best biocatalyst for 1b and CAL-A-CLEA (Lipase A, C. antarctica, cross-linked enzyme aggregate) for la, obtained with ee values of 20% and 45%, respectively, and the corresponding esters 2b and 2a with the ee values of 99% and 71%, respectively.

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.
An asymmetric synthesis of both enantiomers of 2,2,2-trifluoro-1-furan-2-yl-ethylamine and 3,3,3-trifluoroalanine from 2,2,2-trifluoro-1-furan-2-yl-ethanone
Demir, Ayhan Sıtkı; Sesenoglu, O; Gercek-Arkin, Z (Elsevier BV, 2001-09-13)
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.
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...
Synthesis of novel norephedrine-based chiral ligands with multiple stereogenic centers and their application in enantioselective addition of diethylzinc to aldehyde and chalcone
Unaleroglu, C; Aydin, AE; Demir, Ayhan Sıtkı (Elsevier BV, 2006-03-06)
Novel norephedrine-based chiral ligands with multiple stereogenic centers were conveniently prepared from norephedrine and N-substituted pyrrole. These novel chiral ligands were used to catalyze the enantioselective addition of diethylzinc to aldehydes and to chalcone in high yields and with good to high enantioselectivities. The absolute configuration of products was found to be affected by the stereogenic centers on the norephedrine part of the novel chiral ligands.
