ABSTRACT A new and efficient sulfide monooxygenase-producing strain, ECU0066, was isolated and identified as a Rhodococcus sp. that could transform phenylmethyl sulfide (PMS) to (S)-sulfoxide with 99% enantiomeric excess via two steps of enantioselective oxidations. Its enzyme activity could be effectively induced by adding PMS or phenylmethyl sulfoxide (PMSO) directly to a rich medium at the early log phase (6 h) of fermentation, resulting in over 10-times-higher production of the enzyme. This bacterial strain also displayed fairly good activity and enantioselectivity toward seven other sulfides, indicating a good potential for practical application in asymmetric synthesis of chiral sulfoxides.

The asymmetric synthesis of sitophilure was carried out in 8 steps, with 42% overall yield and 97% enantiomeric excess from propionaldehyde. The synthesis relied on an approach employing an asymmetric acyl-thiazolidinethione propionate aldol reaction to establish two stereogenic centers.Key words: sitophilure, thiazolidinethione, chiral auxiliary, synthesis.

An efficient method for the asymmetric synthesis of a-amino acids, containing furyl- and thiophenyl-substituted triazoles in their side-chain, is reported. The strategy relies on Michael addition of 3,4,5-substituted 1,2,4-triazoles to the C=C bond of chiral NiII complexes containing the Schiff base formed from dehydroamino acids (dehydroalanine and (E + Z)-dehydroaminobutyric acid) and from chiral auxiliaries, i. e. (S)-2-N-(N0-benzylprolyl)aminobenzophenone and (S)-2-N- (N0-2-chlorobenzylprolyl) aminobenzophenone. The reactions proceeded with good to very good diastereoselectivity. Hydrolysis of the diastereomeric mixtures of metal complexes afforded the enantiomerically pure a-amino acids with high enantiomeric excess (ee> 98%).

We report a novel vapour phase procedure to perform the Soai reaction in an absolute asymmetric synthesis fashion: the substrate is confined in the pores of the UiO-type MOFs, and vapour phase reactions with Zn(i-Pr)<sub>2</sub> are performed in a sealed environment, Different MOFs lead to different outcomes in terms of enantiomeric excess, handedness of the product and reaction rate. This is one of the first examples of absolute asymmetric synthesis performed inside a MOF.
