Chemoenzymatic Synthesis of (S)-(-)-Frontalin Using Bacterial Epoxide Hydrolases. -The title compound (III) is an aggregation pheromone of pine beetles.
Epoxide hydrolases from bacterial and fungal sources are highly versatile biocatalysts for the asymmetric hydrolysis of epoxides on a preparative scale. Besides kinetic resolution, which yields the corresponding enantiomerically enriched vicinal diol and the remaining nonconverted epoxide, enantioco
Biocatalytic resolution of alkyl-and (arylalkyl)-oxiranes was accomplished by employing the epoxide hydrolase activity of lyophilized whole cells of seven bacterial strains belonging to the genera Rhodococcus, Mycobacterium and Nocardia. Whereas no suitable biocatalyst was found for 1-octene oxide,
