Low-valent Ti-mediated homolytic C?O bond cleavage offers unified access to carbon radicals from ubiquitous non-activated tertiary, secondary, and even primary alcohols. In contrast to the representative Ti reagents, which were ineffective for this purpos

We developed a one-pot sequential two-step deracemization approach to chiral alcohols using two mutants of Thermoanaerobacter pseudoethanolicus secondary alcohol dehydrogenase (TeSADH). This approach relies on consecutive non-stereospecific oxidation of alcohols and stereoselective reduction of their prochiral ketones using two mutants of TeSADH with poor and good stereoselectivities, respectively. More specifically, W110G TeSADH enables a non-stereospecific oxidation of alcohol racemates to their corresponding prochiral ketones, followed by W110V TeSADH-catalyzed stereoselective reduction of the resultant ketone intermediates to enantiopure (S)-configured alcohols in up to > 99 percent enantiomeric excess. A heat treatment after the oxidation step was required to avoid the interference of the marginally stereoselective W110G TeSADH in the reduction step; this heat treatment was eliminated by using sol-gel encapsulated W110G TeSADH in the oxidation step. Moreover, this bi-enzymatic approach was implemented in the stereoinversion of (R)-configured alcohols, and (S)-configured alcohols with up to > 99 percent enantiomeric excess were obtained by this Mitsunobu-like stereoinversion reaction.

A straightforward methodology for the synthesis of anti-Markovnikov-type alcohols is presented. By using a specific cobalt triphos complex in the presence of Zn(OTf)2 as an additive, the hydrogenation of epoxides proceeds with high yields and selectivities. The described protocol shows a broad substrate scope, including multi-substituted internal and terminal epoxides, as well as a good functional-group tolerance. Various natural-product derivatives, including steroids, terpenoids, and sesquiterpenoids, gave access to the corresponding alcohols in moderate-to-excellent yields.
