(2S)-2-Anilinomethylpyrrolidine was successfully utilized as a chiral catalytic source in the borane-mediated asymmetric reduction of prochiral ketones in refluxing toluene to provide the corresponding secondary alcohols with enantiomeric excesses up to 91%. The potential of (2S)-2-anilinomethylpyrrolidine as an in situ recyclable chiral catalytic source in the borane-mediated chiral reduction processes has also been demonstrated.

A practical method for the asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of α-substituted ketones was developed utilizing oxo-tethered N-sulfonyldiamine-ruthenium complexes. Reduction by HCO2H and HCO2K in a mixed solvent of EtOAc/H2O allowed for the selective synthesis of halohydrins from 2-bromoacetophenone (98%) and 2-chloroacetophenone (>99%), leading to suppressed undesired side reactions stemming from formylation under the typical reaction conditions using an azeotropic 5:2 mixture of HCO2H and Et3N. A range of functional groups, such as halogens, methoxy, nitro, dimethylamino, and ester groups, were well tolerated, highlighting the potential of this method. Nearly complete selectivity with a preferable ee was maintained even with a substrate/catalyst (S/C) ratio of 5000. This catalyst system was also effective for the asymmetric reduction of α-sulfonated ketones without eroding the leaving group. (Figure presented.).

The search for a new, efficient, cheaper and sustainable matrix for lipase immobilization is a growing area in biotechnology. Amano lipase from Pseudomonas fluorescens was immobilized on silk fibroin spheres and used in the enzymatic kinetic resolution of halohydrins, to obtain optically active epoxides (up to 99% ee), important precursors in the synthesis of derivative antifungal azoles. This paper reinforces the versatility of silk fibroin as a support for heterogeneous catalysts.
