HORSERADISH PEROXIDASE-CATALYZED ENANTIOSELECTIVE REDUCTION OF RACEMIC HYDROPEROXY HOMOALLYLIC ALCOHOLS - A NOVEL ENZYMATIC METHOD FOR THE PREPARATION OF OPTICALLY-ACTIVE, UNSATURATED DIOLS AND HYDROPEROXY ALCOHOLS
W. Adam et al., HORSERADISH PEROXIDASE-CATALYZED ENANTIOSELECTIVE REDUCTION OF RACEMIC HYDROPEROXY HOMOALLYLIC ALCOHOLS - A NOVEL ENZYMATIC METHOD FOR THE PREPARATION OF OPTICALLY-ACTIVE, UNSATURATED DIOLS AND HYDROPEROXY ALCOHOLS, Journal of organic chemistry, 63(18), 1998, pp. 6123-6127
The kinetic resolution of chiral diastereomeric hydroperoxy homoallyli
c alcohols 1 by horseradish peroxidase-catalyzed asymmetric reduction
affords the optically active (R,R) or (R,S) allylic diols 2 and (S,S)
or (SP) hydroperoxy homoallylic alcohols 1 in high enantiomeric excess
(up to 99%).
