Tantalum good, titanium bad: This appears to be the case for silica- supported catalysts for the asymmetric epoxidation of allyl alcohols. Complexes such as [SiO-Ta(OEt)4] were prepared from silica and [Ta(=CHCMe3)(CH2CMe3)3], and in the presence of a tartrate and an alkyl hydroperoxide, these surface tantalum compounds lead to efficient and convenient catalysts for the asymmetric epoxidation of 2-propen-1-ol (R = H) and trans-2-hexen-1-ol (R = nPr; see reaction).

The efficient enzymatic synthesis of enantiopure 2,3-epoxypropanol (glycidol) has been achieved. The racemic glycidyl butyrate was successfully resolved by enzymatic hydrolysis using a strategy that combines different immobilization protocols and different experimental reaction conditions. A new enzyme (25 kDa lipase)-which is a lipase-like enzyme purified from the pancreatic porcine lipase (PPL) extract-immobilized on DEAE-Sepharose was selected as the optimal biocatalyst. The optimal results were obtained at pH 7, 25°C and 10% dioxane using this biocatalyst and a very high enantioselectivity for the enzyme was displayed, obtaining both (R)-(-)-glycidyl butyrate and (R)-(+)-glycidol with enantiomeric excesses >99% (E >100). The hydrolysis of (R)-(-)-glycidyl butyrate produced pure (S)-(-)-glycidol.

(R)-Propylene carbonate is an important intermediate in the synthesis of tenofovir pro-drugs such as tenofovir alafenamide fumarate (TAF) and tenofovir diisoproyl fumarate (TDF). Independent of the pro-drug type, tenofovir presents a chiral secondary hydroxy derivative, which can be obtained directly from (R)-propylene carbonate. Herein, we report our chemo-enzymatic continuous-flow strategy towards (R)-propylene carbonate starting from a very cheap and renewable raw material, glycerol. We were able to synthesize (R)-propylene carbonate in seven continuous-flow steps, starting from glycerol, in good-to-excellent yields (66–93 %) and excellent selectivity (E > 200).

A method is described for the synthesis of (±)-2,3-epoxy propyl esters from glycerol, involving reaction of epichlorohydrin with sodium or potassium salts of carboxylic acids in the presence of TBAB as catalyst, with moderate to excellent yields. Kinetic resolution of glycidyl butyrate by lipase of Thermomyces lanuginosa has been achieved with remarkable enantiomeric excess (ee >99%) using 1,4-dioxane as a co-solvent in pure buffer solution (30 and 50 °C, pH = 7.0).

The total syntheses of perenniporide A (1) and related compounds have been achieved. Starting from 1,3,5-trifluorobenzene (9), difluorodienone 6 was obtained by oxidative dearomatization, which served as a platform for the high-pressure cycloaddition and for the introduction of the C3-methoxy group. The synthesis allowed access to the natural congeners 2 and 3, enabling assignment of the absolute structures of these natural products.
