Enzyme‐Promoted Desymmetrisation of Prochiral Bis(cyanomethyl) Sulfoxide

Abstract: Prochiral bis(cyanomethyl) sulfoxide has been successfully transformed into the corresponding optically active mono amide and mono acid with enantiomeric excesses ranging from low (10 %) to very high (up to 99 %) using a broad spectrum of nitrilehydrolysing enzymes.

“…Racemic and prochiral organosulfur and organophosphorus compounds have proved to be good substrates for various types of enzymes and many useful transformations leading to non‐racemic products have been described by us and others 1a. In this way, enantiomerically enriched products were obtained, having a stereogenic centre located either on sulfur,1b,c phosphorus1d or on a carbon atom of an organic substituent 1e…”

“…In the frame of the research carried out in our laboratory, enzymes were intensely used for the synthesis of optically active heteroorganic compounds, particularly those containing a stereogenic center located on a heteroatom–phosphorus , or sulfur. , Some time ago, we reported the synthesis of phosphine oxide precursors of chiral bidentate and tridentate phosphorus catalysts via hydrolytic enzyme-promoted kinetic resolution of racemic P -chiral or desymmetrization of P -prochiral phosphine oxides, which allowed us to obtain the desired products in enantiopure forms (Scheme ). For a review see ref .…”
