Journal ArticleDOI
Efficient enantioselective reduction of ketones with Daucus carota root.
TL;DR: A novel and efficient reduction of various prochiral ketones such as acetopehones, alpha-azido aryl ketones, beta-ketoesters, and aliphatic acyclic and cyclic ketones with moderate to excellent chemical yield was achieved by using Daucus carota, root plant cells under extremely mild and environmentally benign conditions in aqueous medium.
Journal ArticleDOI
A new (R)-hydroxynitrile lyase from Prunus mume: asymmetric synthesis of cyanohydrins
TL;DR: A new hydroxynitrile lyase (HNL) was isolated from the seed of Japanese apricot (Prunus mume) as discussed by the authors, which has similar properties with HNL isolated from other Prunus species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stereoselective synthesis of (R)-(−)-denopamine, (R)-(−)-tembamide and (R)-(−)-aegeline via asymmetric reduction of azidoketones by Daucus carota in aqueous medium
TL;DR: In this article, a simple and efficient stereoselective synthesis of (R)-denopamine and other naturally occurring hydroxy amides from optically active 2-azido-1-arylethanols, was described via reduction of the corresponding αazidoarylketones with enzymes from Daucus Carota root, under mild and environmentally friendly conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chemo-enzymatic asymmetric total synthesis of stagonolide-C
TL;DR: The naturally occurring phytotoxic noneolide stagonolide-C has been synthesized by a chemo-enzymatic approach by applying a metal–enzyme combined DKR (dynamic kinetic resolution) strategy, followed by RCM (ring-closing metathesis) to afford the target compound in an efficient way.
Journal ArticleDOI
Asymmetric Total Syntheses of Cochliomycin A and Zeaenol
Nandan Jana,Samik Nanda +1 more
TL;DR: The first asymmetric total syntheses of two resorcylic acid lactones (RALs) have been achieved in a divergent way as discussed by the authors, by successful application of stereoselecive Keck allylation and Julia-Kocienski olefination to access an advanced intermediate.
