The vanishing integral rule is not only usefi.il in detemiining the nonvanishing elements of the Hamiltonian matrix H. Another important application is the derivation o selection rules for transitions between molecular states. For example, the hrtensity of an electric dipole transition from a state with wavefimction "f o a...

Following epPCR and saturation mutagenesis at hot spots, the o-selective hydan-toinase from Arthrobacter sp. DSM 9771 was converted into L-selective variants. The best L-selective mutant showed a value of 20% ee at about 30% conversion, compared to the WT displaying ee = 40% in favor of the D-methionine-derivative. With the help of an appropriate L-carbamoylase, L-methionine itself was produced. This academic/ industrial effort provided several selective hydantoinases of industrial interest (O May, (Degussa-Hiils), personal communication, 2005). 

Racemic a-amino amides and a-hydroxy amides have been hydrolyzed enantio-selectively by amidases. Both L-selective and o-selective amidases are known. For example, a purified L-selective amidase from Ochrobactrum anthropi combines a very broad substrate specificity with a high enantioselectivity on a-hydrogen and a,a-disubstituted a-amino acid amides, a-hydroxyacid amides, and a-N-hydroxya-mino acid amides [102]. A racemase (a-amino-e-caprolactam racemase, EC 5.1.1.15) converts the o-aminopeptidase-catalyzed hydrolysis of a-amino acid amides into a DKR (Figure 6.38) [103]. 

Our group suppressed (ref. 19) the deactivation by HBr by the addition of NaHC03 as a scavenger for HBr and zeolite KA for removal of water formed in the latter reaction. With these additives a p/o-selectivity of 97/3 was achieved in the bromination of bromobenzene over CeY. 

Mataka and coworkers further studied the exo/endo selectivity of outside attack products in the reactions of 96 and 97 with A-(5-X-phenyl)maleimides [56]. They found that the endo/exo selectivity is markedly dependent on the electronic nature of the substituent X (Scheme 47). The electro-withdrawing substituents such as NOj and Cl enhance enrfo-selectivity. The relative order of the enr/o-selectivity is NOj > Cl > H > OCH3. 

In summary, reactions of nitronates with acid anhydrides or acyl chlorides give the O-acylated products, and reactions with acyl imidazoles, phenyl esters, acyl nitriles, and enol-lactones gives the C-acylated products, (see Eq. 5.13).25 The C/O selectivity of nitronate acylation by RCOX is qualitatively correlated with strength (pKJ of the acid HX conjugated to the leaving group X .25... 

The use of more polar solvents (acetonitrile, DMF) improved the N 0 ratio in the Mitsunobu alkylation of 3-benzoyl thymine with cyclopentanol <06SL324>. N vs. O-selectivity in the alkylation of 2-pyrimidinones has been investigated and the results rationalised on the HSAB principle <06T6848>.

Depending on the amine substrate and the nitrating conditions used, it is not uncommon for an intermediate nitramine to undergo direct rearrangement to the ring-nitrated product without prior isolation, in which case, the formation of the nitramine as an intermediate can only be postulated. Due to the high o-selectivity often observed with this type of reaction the o/p-ratio can be very different to that where the aromatic ring is directly nitrated.

Hanessian and Compain have also reported a Lewis acid-promoted inverse electron demand hetero-Diels-Alder reaction between dihydrofurans and dihydropyrans with a-keto-/3,7-unsaturated phosphonates to give stmcturally related products <2002T6521>. High-pressure OTr/o-selective hetero-Diels-Alder reactions between a,/3-unsaturated aldehydes and enol ethers in the presence of lanthanide catalysts have also been reported and give 3,4-dihydro-27/-pyrans. Examples include the use of cyclic enol ethers to give 2,3,4,4a,5,8a-hexahydro-277,577-pyrano[2,3-. ]pyrans <1995T8383>. 

Substituted norbornane derivatives have been synthesized by the reaction of norbornenes with carbonyl ylides derived from a-diazoketones by a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition route (Equation 97) <2002TL5981>. These reactions occur in high yields and with excellent o o-selectivity (Table 8).
