Abstract

A bienzymatic cascade has been designed and optimized to obtain enantiopure chlorohydrins starting from the correspondint 1-+aryl-2 chlorobut-2-en-1-ones. For the preparation of these initial α-chloroenone, a synthetic sequience was developed consisting of the allylation of the corresponding aldehyde with 3-dichloroprop-1-ene, followed by alcohol oxidation and further isomerization of the intermediate ketone. Next, the selective cooperative catalytic action of an ene-reductase and an alcohol dehydrogenase, afforded the desired optically active clorohydrins under mild reaction conditions in excellent conversions (up to >99%) and selectivities (up to 99:1 diastereomeric ratio, >99% enantiomeric excess)
