A catalytic, metal-free O-H bond insertion of α-diazoesters in water in the presence of B(C6F5)3·nH2O (2 mol %) was developed, affording a series of α-hydroxyesters in good to excellent yields. The reaction features easy operation and wide substrate scope, and importantly, no metal is needed as compared with the conventional methods. Significantly, this approach further expands the applications of B(C6F5)3 under water-tolerant conditions.
Identification of Candida tenuis xylose reductase as highly selective biocatalyst for the synthesis of aromatic α-hydroxy esters and improvement of its efficiency by protein engineering

Wild-type Candida tenuis xylose reductase and two Trp-23 mutants thereof catalyze NADH-dependent reduction of a homologous series of aromatic α-keto esters with absolute pseudo re-face stereoselectivity and broad tolerance for the substituent on the aromatic ring, producing the corresponding R-alcohols in high yield.
