Synthesis of non-racemic unsymmetrical tetrasubstituted vinylallenes
Spino,Frechette
, p. 8033 - 8036 (2000)
Tetrasubstituted chiral vinylallenes are constructed from the enantioselective epoxidation of an enyne followed by an S(N)2' addition of a cuprate. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.
The Synthesis of Chiral Allyl Carbamates via Merger of Photoredox and Nickel Catalysis
Garbacz, Mateusz,Stecko, Sebastian
, p. 3213 - 3222 (2020/07/06)
A mild, and versatile, organophotoredox/Ni-mediated protocol was developed for the direct preparation of diverse, enantioenriched allyl carbamates. The reported approach represents a significant departure from classical step-by-step synthesis of allyl carbamates. This dual photoredox/Ni based strategy offers unrivalled capacity for convergent unification of readily available alkyl halides and chiral carbamates derived from 1-bromo-alken-3-ols with high chemoselectivity and efficiency. The reported photoredox/Ni catalyzed cross-coupling reaction is not limited to carbamates, but also to other O-derivatives such as esters, ethers, acetals, carbonates or silyl ethers. To demonstrate the utility of the reported protocol, the resulting allyl carbamates were transformed into functionalized non-racemic allylamines through a sigmatropic rearrangement reaction in enantiospecific manner. This approach allowed for synthesis of enantiomeric allylamines by a simple control of the geometry of a double bond of allyl carbamates. (Figure presented.).
Ester Synthesis in Water: Mycobacterium smegmatis Acyl Transferase for Kinetic Resolutions

The acyl transferase from Mycobacterium smegmatis (MsAcT) catalyses transesterification reactions in aqueous media because of its hydrophobic active site. Aliphatic cyanohydrin and alkyne esters can be synthesised in water with excellent and strikingly opposite enantioselectivity [(R);E>37 and (S);E>100, respectively]. When using this enzyme, the undesired hydrolysis of the acyl donor is an important factor to take into account. Finally, the choice of acyl donor can significantly influence the obtained enantiomeric excesses. (Figure presented.).
