Asymmetric Epoxidation of Aliphatic Alkenes

3 APPLICATION OF BIOEPOXIDATION IN ORGANIC SYNTHESIS 13.3.1 Asymmetric Epoxidation of Aliphatic Alkenes [Pg.354]

For ffie past several decades, several chemocatalysts and biocatalysts have been used for ffie epoxidation of nonfunctionalized aliphatic alkenes. The Katsuki-Jacobsen epoxidation, which is catalyzed by chiral Mn(III)-salen with NaOCl/PhIO as an oxidant, achieves good yields and high stereoselectivities (84-94%ee) for ffie epoxidation of ds-alkenes [21]. The Shi epoxidation, which is catalyzed by ffie fructose-derived ketone and oxone, has been successfully used in ffie epoxidation of frans-alkenes, yielding ffie corresponding oxides with 93-98% ee [74]. However, for nonfunctionalized terminal aliphatic alkenes, chemocatalysts typically display low stereoselectivity [7]. [Pg.354]

On ffie other hand, some oxidoreductases accept those substrates well enough to serve as complementary catalysts. Among them, alkene monooxygenases and CPO [Pg.354]

Reactions Catalyzed with Nonheme Iron-Dependent Monooxygenases [Pg.355]

Microorganisms that use gaseous olefins as a carbon source are widely exist in nature, and they typically produce nonheme iron-dependent alkene/alkane monooxygenases. Although in a lot of cases, the identification of the key enzyme hasn t been attempted many of those alkene-utilizing bacteria have been used in the asymmetric epoxidation of aliphatic alkenes with high stereoselectivities [26]. [Pg.355]


Recently, the SMO from Rhodococcus sp. ST-5 and ST-10 have been applied to catalyze the epoxidation of 1-hexene and 1-octene to the corresponding (S)-epoxides with up to 99% ee [58]. For 1-hexene, the activity was comparable to that acquired with the native substrate styrene [58], but the initial conversion rate was four times lower than styrene [92]. The excellent (S)-stereoselectivity is a complementary to the (R)-selectivity of majority of the enzymes involved in the asymmetric epoxidation of aliphatic alkenes. [Pg.358]
