Abstract
Chiral CF3-substituted β-hydroxy ketones and 1,3-diols were prepared via the ketoreductase-catalyzed asymmetric reduction of the corresponding benzoyl trifluoroacetones. The variants of two ketoreductases, LfSDR1 and CgKR1, were screened or engineered for stereocomplementary synthesis of CF3-substituted β-hydroxy ketones with up to >99% conversions and up to >99% enantiomeric excess (ee) values. In addition, the cascade reduction or one pot reduction of diketones could afford the CF3-substituted 1,3-diols with up to >99% ratios and >99% ee values.
期刊介绍:
Organic Letters invites original reports of fundamental research in all branches of the theory and practice of organic, physical organic, organometallic,medicinal, and bioorganic chemistry. Organic Letters provides rapid disclosure of the key elements of significant studies that are of interest to a large portion of the organic community. In selecting manuscripts for publication, the Editors place emphasis on the originality, quality and wide interest of the work. Authors should provide enough background information to place the new disclosure in context and to justify the rapid publication format. Back-to-back Letters will be considered. Full details should be reserved for an Article, which should appear in due course.
