Published 2012 by Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA. j3 1 Introduction – Principles and Historical Landmarks of Enzyme Catalysis in Organic Synthesis Harald Gr€oger and Yasuhisa Asano 1.1 General Remarks Enzyme catalysis in organic synthesis – behind this term stands a technology that today is widely recognized as a first choice opportunity in the preparation of a wide range of chemical compounds. Notably, this is true not only for academic syntheses but also for industrial-scale applications [1]. For numerous molecules the synthetic routes based on enzyme catalysis have turned out to be competitive (and often superior!) compared with classic chemicalaswellaschemocatalyticsynthetic approaches. Thus, enzymatic catalysis is increasingly recognized by organic chemists in both academia and industry as an attractive synthetic tool besides the traditional organic disciplines such as classic synthesis, metal catalysis, and organocatalysis [2]. By means of enzymes a broad range of transformations relevant in organic chemistry can be catalyzed, including, for example, redox reactions, carbon–carbon bond forming reactions, and hydrolytic reactions. Nonetheless, for a long time enzyme catalysis was not realized as a first choice option in organic synthesis. Organic chemists did not use enzymes as catalysts for their envisioned syntheses because of observed (or assumed) disadvantages such as narrow substrate range, limited stability of enzymes under organic reaction conditions, low efficiency when using wild-type strains, and diluted substrate and product solutions, thus leading to non-satisfactory volumetric productivities. -

Abstract: In this review, we present an assessment of recent advances in alkyne functionalization reactions, classified according to different classes of recyclable catalysts. In this work, we have in- corporated and reviewed the activity and selectivity of recyclable catalytic systems such as polysiloxane- encapsulated novel metal nanoparticle-based catalysts, silica–copper-supported nanocatalysts, graphitic carbon-supported nanocatalysts, metal organic framework (MOF) catalysts, porous organic frame- work (POP) catalysts, bio-material-supported catalysts, and metal/solvent free recyclable catalysts. In addition, several alkyne functionalization reactions have been elucidated to demonstrate the success and efficiency of recyclable catalysts. In addition, this review also provides the fundamental knowl- edge required for utilization of green catalysts, which can combine the advantageous features of both homogeneous (catalyst modulation) and heterogeneous (catalyst recycling) catalysis.

Lecture 6 the Crossed Aldol Reaction and Its Many Variants
Lecture 6 The Crossed Aldol Reaction and its Many Variants Objectives: By the end of this lecture you will be able to: 1. make an appropriate choice of base to completely enolise carbonyl compounds; 2. use enolates in a crossed aldol reaction; 3. recognise the aldol functional group motif, and its variants, in complex molecules; 4. use the aldol disconnection to simplify a retrosynthetic analysis; 5. use the Reformatski and Mukaiyama aldol reactions in synthesis; 6. draw arrow-pushing mechanisms for all the aldol reactions discussed in this lecture. Introduction We have seen how choosing a base (B-) whose conjugate acid (B−H) is a much poorer acid − i.e. has a much higher pKa − than the proton we wish to abstract, ensures effectively complete deprotonation of the α-C−H of a carbonyl compound to provide the corresponding enolate. By completely enolising the carbonyl group, we can suppress self-condensation aldol processes, and instead use a different electrophile such as an aldehyde to form a β-hydroxy carbonyl compound. This reaction sequence is identical in basic mechanism to the intramolecular aldol processes that we discussed in previous lectures. It is now described as a crossed aldol condensation because the electrophile is a different carbonyl compound to the one that was used to form the nucleophilic enolate. This reaction, and its many variants, provides one of the most important methods for preparing C−C bonds. Pattern Recognition The aldol reaction and its many variants are very useful reactions in synthesis. You need to be able to identify the patterns or functional group motifs where this type of bond-forming process can be used. -
Robert Burns Woodward

Crane “The structure known, but not yet accessible by synthesis, is to the chemist what the unclimbed mountain, the uncharted sea, the untilled field, the unreached planet, are to other men. The achievement of the objective in itself cannot but thrill all chemists, who even before they know the details of the journey can apprehend from their own experience the joys and elations, the disappointments and false hopes, the obstacles overcome, the frustrations subdued, which they experienced who traversed a road to the goal.

Aldol Condensation
Chemistry 212 Laboratory Dibenzalacetone via Crossed Aldol Condensation Prelab: Calculate the amounts of all chemicals needed in measurable amounts (i.e. grams or milliliters rather than moles.) Introduction: Aldol condensations are important in organic synthesis, providing a good way to form carbon–carbon bonds. The "aldol" (aldehyde + alcohol) product is a structural unit found in many naturally occurring molecules and pharmaceuticals, and is therefore important. In an Aldol condensation an enolate ion reacts with a carbonyl compound to form a β- hydroxyaldehyde or β-hydroxyketone, followed by dehydration to give a conjugated enone. The general equation is shown in Figure 1. O O O R" B: H R R'" R "R R'" loss of H2O H R' R' Figure 1. The equation for the Aldol Condensation. The reaction involves the nucleophilic addition of an enolate to an aldehyde to form a β-hydroxy carbonyl. The β-hydroxy carbonyl is readily dehydrated under mild conditions. The aldol reaction occurs under both acidic and basic conditions as seen in Figure 2.

MINDO-Forces Study on the Substituent Effect in the Keto-Enol Tautomerism of Acetyl Derivatives

Naturforsch. 59a, 299 – 308 (2004); received February 11, 2004 MINDO-Forces calculations with complete geometry optimization have been performed on ac- etaldehyde, vinyl alcohol and acetyl derivatives CH3COX(X=H, F, OH, CN, NH2,NO2,CH3, CF3,OCH3). It was found that acetaldehyde is more stable than vinyl alcohol by 10.451 kcal/mol. Thermodynamically, keto tautomers are more stable than their enol counterparts. This agrees with theoretical calculations. The electron releasing substituents tend to stabilize keto tautomers, while the electron withdrawing substituents tend to destabilize the keto tautomers, relative to the parent. Geometrical parameters, heats of formation, electron densities, Gibbs free energies and orbital ener- gies (HOMO-LUMO) are reported.
