The first successful asymmetric reduction of unhindered aliphatic ketones with B-chlorodiisopinocampheylborane is reported. In contrast to the reduction in high ee of aralkyl ketones, such as acetophenone, with the reagent, the reduction of unhindered dialkyl ketones, such as 3-methyl-2-butanone, provides only poor ee. However, treatment of α- and β-hydroxyketones with one equiv of diisopnocampheylborane or B-chlorodiisopinocampheylborane rapidly produces the corresponding ketoalkyl diisopinocampheylborinate intermediates, which then undergo facile intramolecular reduction. This reaction sequence, followed by oxidative workup, provides a general synthesis of 1,2- and 1,3-diols in 84≤99% enantiomeric excess.

Paragraph 0097-0099, (2016/05/02)
The invention provides compositions comprising an alkene epoxidase and a selective epoxide hydrolase, such as a recombinant microorganism comprising a first heterologous nucleic acid encoding an alkene epoxidase and a second heterologous nucleic acid encoding a selective epoxide hydrolase. Exemplary alkene epoxidases include StyAB, while exemplary selective epoxide hydrolases include epoxide hydrolases from Sphingomonas, Solanum tuberosum, or Aspergillus. The invention also provides non-toxic methods of making enantiomerically pure vicinal diols or enantiomerically pure alpha-hydroxy carboxylic acids using these compositions and microorganisms.

Cascade biocatalysis via intracellular epoxidation and hydrolysis was developed as a green and efficient method for enantioselective dihydroxylation of aryl olefins to prepare chiral vicinal diols in high ee and high yield. Escherichia coli (SSP1) coexpressing styrene monooxygenase (SMO) and epoxide hydrolase SpEH was developed as a simple and efficient biocatalyst for S-enantioselective dihydroxylation of terminal aryl olefins 1a-15a to give (S)-vicinal diols 1c-15c in high ee (97.5-98.6% for 10 diols; 92.2-93.9% for 3 diols) and high yield (91-99% for 6 diols; 86-88% for 2 diols; 67% for 3 diols). Combining SMO and epoxide hydrolase StEH showing complementary regioselectivity to SpEH as a biocatalyst for the cascade biocatalysis gave rise to R-enantioselective dihydroxylation of aryl olefins, being the first example of this kind of reversing the overall enantioselectivity of cascade biocatalysis. E. coli (SST1) coexpressing SMO and StEH was also engineered as a green and efficient biocatalyst for R-dihydroxylation of terminal aryl olefins 1a-15a to give (R)-vicinal diols 1c-15c in high ee (94.2-98.2% for 7 diols; 84.2-89.9% for 6 diols) and high yield (90-99% for 6 diols; 85-89% for 5 diols; 65% for 1 diol). E. coli (SSP1) and E. coli (SST1) catalyzed the trans-dihydroxylation of trans-aryl olefin 16a and cis-aryl olefin 17a with excellent and complementary stereoselectivity, giving each of the four stereoisomers of 1-phenyl-1,2- propanediol 16c in high ee and de, respectively. Both strains catalyzed the trans-dihydroxylation of aryl cyclic olefins 18a and 19a to afford the same trans-cyclic diols (1R,2R)-18c and (1R,2R)-19c, respectively, in excellent ee and de. This type of cascade biocatalysis provides a tool that is complementary to Sharpless dihydroxylation, accepting cis-alkene and offering enantioselective trans-dihydroxylation.

A series of osmate (OsO42-) core dendrimers was prepared by an ion-exchange technique through the mixing of K 2OsO4 and a bis(quaternary ammonium bromide) core dendrimer, which consisted of poly(benzyl ether) dendron. By employing an osmate core dendrimer as a homogeneous catalyst, dihydroxylation reactions of olefins proceeded rapidly, and the dendritic osmium catalyst was recovered by reprecipitation and then reused. Furthermore, a dendritic effect on the recyclability of a catalyst was observed. In the case of asymmetric dihydroxylation reactions, the corresponding diol was obtained in a high chemical yield with a fair enantiomeric excess (ee). In this case, not only the dendritic osmium catalyst but also the chiral ligand could be recovered by reprecipitation and reused efficiently up to five times.
