Abstract

Recently we have reported the synthesis of optically active α-hydroxy enones by lipase-catalyzed hydrolysis of α-acetoxy enones.[7]During the course of our studies on the biotransformation of acetoxy ketones to hydroxy ketones using different enzymes, we observed that Rhizopus oryzae has the versatility for the enantioselective hydrolysis of acetoxy ketones. ... In this paper we present the enantioselective synthesis of hydroxy ketones from ketones via Mn(OAc) 3 mediated ...
