Category: alcohols-buliding-blocksOn March 28, 2009, Xu, Yi; Jia, Xin; Panke, Sven; Li, Zhi published an article in Chemical Communications (Cambridge, United Kingdom). The article was 《Asymmetric dihydroxylation of aryl olefins by sequential enantioselective epoxidation and regioselective hydrolysis with tandem biocatalysts》. The article mentions the following:
Chiral aryl vicinal diols were obtained in high ee and yield by asym. dihydroxylation of aryl olefins with tandem biocatalysts, an enantioselective styrene monooxygenase, and a regioselective epoxide hydrolase.(1S)-1-(2-chlorophenyl)ethane-1,2-diol(cas: 133082-13-0Category: alcohols-buliding-blocks) was used in this study.
(1S)-1-(2-chlorophenyl)ethane-1,2-diol(cas: 133082-13-0) belongs to hydroxy-containing compounds. Hydroxy groups participate in the dehydration reactions that link simple biological molecules into long chains. The joining of a fatty acid to glycerol to form a triacylglycerol removes the −OH from the carboxy end of the fatty acid.Category: alcohols-buliding-blocks
