The hydrolytic dehalogenation of rac-1,3-dibromobutane catalyzed by the haloalkane dehalogenase LinB from Sphingobium japonicum UT26 proceeds in a sequential fashion: initial formation of intermediate haloalcohols followed by a second hydrolytic step to produce the final diol. Detailed investigation of the course of the reaction revealed favored nucleophilic displacement of the sec-halogen in the first hydrolytic event with pronounced R enantioselectivity. The second hydrolysis step proceeded with a regioselectivity switch at the primary position, with preference for the S enantiomer. Because of complex competition between all eight possible reactions, intermediate haloalcohols formed with moderate to good ee ((S)-4-bromobutan-2-ol: up to 87 %). Similarly, (S)-butane-1,3-diol was formed at a maximum ee of 35 % before full hydrolysis furnished the racemic diol product.
Synthesis of chiral β3-aminoxy peptides

A series of chiral β3-aminoxy acids or amides with various side chains have been synthesized via two different approaches. One is the Arndt-Eistert homologation approach, using chiral α-aminoxy acids as starting materials. The other approach, utilizing the enantioselective reduction of β-keto esters catalyzed by baker's yeast or chiral Ru(II) complexes, produces chiral β3-aminoxy acids with nonproteinaceous side chains. The oligomers of β3-aminoxy acids can be readily prepared using EDCI/HOAt as the coupling reagent.
