An efficient organocatalytic oxidation of racemic secondary alcohols, mediated by sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) and 2-azaadamantane N-oxyl (AZADO), has been conveniently coupled with a highly stereoselective bioreduction of the intermediate ketone, catalyzed by ketoreductases, in aqueous medium. The potential of this one-pot two-step deracemization process has been proven by a large set of structurally different secondary alcohols. Reactions were carried out up to 100 mm final concentration enabling the preparation of enantiopure alcohols with very high isolated yields (up to 98 %). When the protocol was applied to the stereoisomeric rac/meso mixture of diols, these were obtained with very high enantiomeric excesses and diastereomeric ratios (95 % yield, >99 % ee, >99: 1 dr).

The decarboxylative reduction of naturally abundant carboxylic acids such as α-amino acids and α-hydroxy acids has been achieved via visible-light photoredox catalysis. By using an organocatalytic photoredox system, this method offers a mild and rapid entry to a variety of high-value compounds including medicinally relevant scaffolds. Regioselective decarboxylation is achieved when differently substituted dicarboxylic acids are employed. The application of this method to the synthesis of enantioenriched 1-aryl-2,2,2-trifluoroethyl chiral amines starting from natural α-amino acids further testifies to the utility of the developed photocatalytic decarboxylative reduction protocol.
Preparation of 2-oxazolidinones by intramolecular nucleophilic substitution

Treatment of N-alkoxycarbonyl, N-benzyl protected β-amino alcohols with triphenylphosphine and hexachloroethane in 1,2-dichloroethane induces cyclization to 2-oxazolidinones, which are formed by intramolecular attack with inversion of configuration at the secondary alcohol. In contrast, mono N-substituted alkyl carbamates undergo chlorination under the same conditions.
