Synthesis and enantioselective rearrangement of (Z)-4-triphenylmethoxy-2,3-epoxybutan-1-ol enantiomers.

Efficient enzyme catalyzed kinetic resolutions of a synthetically useful chiral building block, (Z)-4-triphenylmethoxy-2,3-epoxybutan-1-ol, are reported. The highest selectivities were achieved by Lipozyme TL IM and Amano Lipase PS enzymes in the presence of vinyl acetate. Enantiomeric enrichment of the optically active acetate isomer was accomplished by selective crystallization of the racemic part of the enantiomeric mixture. Enzyme catalyzed hydrolysis of the acetate also provided an optically pure epoxybutanol derivative. O-Benzylation of (+)-(Z)-1-hydroxy-4-triphenylmethoxy-2,3-epoxybutane followed by super base promoted diastereo- and enantio-selective rearrangement resulted in (+)-(2R,3R,1'R)-3-[1-hydroxy-2-(triphenylmethoxy)ethyl]-2-phenyloxetane in >98% ee and de. Configurations of the new optically active products were determined by chemical correlation.

Effect of temperature and concentration on the structure of sec-butyl alcohol and isobutyl alcohol/water mixtures: near-infrared spectroscopic study.

The effect of temperature and concentration on the structure of sec-butyl alcohol and isobutyl alcohol/water binary mixtures in the alcohol-rich region (mole fraction of water X(H2O) < 0.3) has been studied using Fourier transform (FT) near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy. The experimental data were analyzed by a two-dimensional (2D) correlation approach and chemometric methods. It was found that molecules of both alcohols in the mixture with water are in the same environment as those in the pure alcohols. Even at very low water content (X(H2O) = 0.001) we did not observe water free from any specific interactions. The molecules of water are attached to the end free OH groups in the open chain associates of alcohol. In this way the structure of neat alcohol remains intact by addition of water. The water-alcohol interactions in sec-butyl alcohol and isobutyl alcohol/water mixtures are stronger than those in bulk water. The results obtained at higher water content or elevated temperatures indicate the possibility of water-water interaction. In the alcohol-rich region the hydrophobic effects are of minor importance and the structure and properties of these systems are determined by hydrogen bonding through the hydroxyl groups. Both alcohols behave similarly on the temperature or water content variation; the minor difference results from a different degree of self-association for sec-butyl alcohol and isobutyl alcohol.

Influence of microwave radiation on free Candida antarctica lipase B activity and stability.

The influence of microwave heating on free Candida antarctica lipase B activity and stability was studied over the temperature range from 40 to 110 degrees C. Concerning the lipase activity, identical initial rate and conversion yield were obtained under microwave radiation and classical thermal heating for the alcoholysis between ethyl butyrate and butanol in a solvent-free system. On the other hand, the kinetics of the free lipase inactivation in butanol appears to be influenced by the heating mode. The Arrhenius plot obtained under classical heating was linear over all the temperature range studied whereas a biphasic Arrhenius plot was obtained under microwaves. The non-classical effect of the microwave heating on the initial rate of the enzymatic inactivation was thus dependent on the temperature of incubation.
