, p. 305 - 309 (2014)
An improved five-step procedure has been applied to synthesize enantiopure l- and d-1,4-di-O-benzylthreitol out of readily available l- and d-tartaric acid. Through the use of modern reagents and enhanced work-up conditions these useful auxiliaries were o

The two enantiomers of 2,2′-bioxirane were synthesized, and their chiroptical properties were thoroughly investigated in various solvents by polarimetry, vibrational circular dichroism (VCD), and Raman optical activity (ROA). Density functional theory (DFT) calculations at the B3LYP/aug-cc-pVTZ level revealed the presence of three conformers (G+, G?, and cis) with Gibbs populations of 51, 44, and 5% for the isolated molecule, respectively. The population ratios of the two main conformers were modified for solvents exhibiting higher dielectric constants (G? form decreases whereas G+ form increases). The behavior of the specific optical rotation values with the different solvents was correctly reproduced by time-dependent DFT calculations using the polarizable continuum model (PCM), except for the benzene for which explicit solvent model should be necessary. Finally, VCD and ROA spectra were perfectly reproduced by the DFT/PCM calculations for the Boltzmann-averaged G+ and G? conformers.

Product release is the rate-determining step in the arene syn-dihydroxylation reaction taking place at Rieske oxygenase enzymes and is regarded as a difficult problem to be resolved in the design of iron catalysts for olefin syn-dihydroxylation with potential utility in organic synthesis. Toward this end, in this work a novel catalyst bearing a sterically encumbered tetradentate ligand based in the tpa (tpa = tris(2-methylpyridyl)amine) scaffold, [FeII(CF3SO3)2(5-tips3tpa)], 1 has been designed. The steric demand of the ligand was envisioned as a key element to support a high catalytic activity by isolating the metal center, preventing bimolecular decomposition paths and facilitating product release. In synergistic combination with a Lewis acid that helps sequestering the product, 1 provides good to excellent yields of diol products (up to 97% isolated yield), in short reaction times under mild experimental conditions using a slight excess (1.5 equiv) of aqueous hydrogen peroxide, from the oxidation of a broad range of olefins. Predictable site selective syn-dihydroxylation of diolefins is shown. The encumbered nature of the ligand also provides a unique tool that has been used in combination with isotopic analysis to define the nature of the active species and the mechanism of activation of H2O2. Furthermore, 1 is shown to be a competent synthetic tool for preparing O-labeled diols using water as oxygen source.
