Abstract
Five structurally related thiophene-based aldehydes, acetone cyanohydrin, a base, a lipase enzyme and isopropenyl acetate have been mixed in one-pot, leading to the dynamic combinatorial resolution of a cyanohydrin library. The process is applied in optimizing synthetic conditions for the cyanohydrin acetate library obtained in terms of reactivity and enantiopurity. Anhydrous Na2CO3 and lipase PS-D (Burkholderia cepacia lipase) or Novozym 435 (Candida antarctica lipase B) preparations are shown to be the best catalyst combinations for the DCR of the substrate series in toluene. The justification of the optimized process is confirmed by preparing the thiophene –based (R)-cyanohydrin acetates with 68-99% isolated yields and 82-91 % ee using the traditional dynamic kinetic resolution of each substrate.
Keywords: Dynamic combinatorial resolution, dynamic kinetic resolution, cyanohydrin, lipase catalysis, acylation, enzyme catalysis, base catalysis.

Simulation, techno-economic analysis, and life cycle analysis of a biorefinery process are ...read more
Catalytic C-H bond activation as a tool for functionalization of heterocycles
The major topic is the functionalization of heterocycles through catalyzed C-H bond activation. The strategies based on C-H activation not only provide straightforward formation of C-C or C-X bonds but, more importantly, allow for the avoidance of pre-functionalization of one or two of the cross-coupling partners. The beneficial impact of ...read more
