The (�)-benzyl(methyl)(4-methylphenyl)(naphthalen-1-yl)arsonium cation has been synthesized and subsequently resolved by fractional crystallization of monohydrogen [R-(R*,R*)]-2,3-bis(benzoyloxy)- butanedioate salts. The separated diastereoisomers were converted into the corresponding optically active arsonium bromides by ion-exchange column chromatography. The absolute configuration of the arsonium cation exhibiting a positive rotation at 589 nm (sodium D line) has been established as (R) by single-crystal X-ray analysis of both the bromide and hexafluorophosphate salts. The arsonium bromide with [α]D + 54.8�(c, 0.62 in CH2Cl2) crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group P212121 (D24, No.19) with a 22.472(8), b 15.724(7), c 12.585(5) � and U 4447(3) �3. The corresponding hexafluorophosphate with [α]D + 19.3� (c, 0.5 in CH2Cl2) crystallizes in the same space group with a 23.56(2), b 16.40(1), c 13.12(1) � and U 5067(6) � 3. Benzylidene transfer to benzaldehyde from the arsonium ylide derived from either of the arsonium salts produced optically pure (–)-(S)-methyl(4-methylphenyl)(naphthalen-1-yl)arsine, [α]D - 115.9� (c, 0.593 in CHCl3), and partly resolved [R-(R*,R*)]-2,3-diphenyloxiran.

Partially resolved enantiomers of optically active alcohols I-V, obtained by enantioselective reduction of the corresponding ketones with lithium aluminium hydride in the presence of (-)-quinine, were converted into crystalline 3,5-dinitrobenzoates or phenylcarbamates. The esters of the nearly optically pure enantiomers were separated by crystallization from the generally more soluble esters of the racemates. Optical purity of the hydrolytically liberated alcohols was determined by 1H NMR spectroscopy in the presence of chiral shifting agents.

Reaction of ethyl (R)-oxiranecarboxylate (2a) with various nucleobases (adenine, 6-chloropurine, thymine, cytosine, N6-benzoyladenine, 4-methoxy-5-methylpyrimidin-2(1H)-one and 4-methoxypyrimidin-2(1H)-one) afforded ethyl 3-substituted-2-hydroxypropanoates 4-10. Enantioselectivity of this reaction is dependent on the type of the base: 6-chloropurine, N6-benzoyladenine, 4-methoxy-5-methylpyrimidin-2(1H)-one, thymine and cytosine gave optically pure R enantiomers. In other cases, partial or complete racemization occurred. Optically pure ethyl (R)-3-(6-chloropurin-9-yl)-2-hydroxypropanoate (5a) was hydrolyzed to give (R)-3-(6-chloropurin-9-yl)-2-hydroxypropanoic acid (11). Reactions of 11 with various primary or secondary amines led to N6-substituted (R)-3-(adenin-9-yl)-2-hydroxypropanoic acids 14-19. Enantiomeric purity was determined from 1H NMR spectra measured in the presence of (-)-(R)-1-(9-anthryl)-2,2,2-trifluoroethan-1-ol.

The reaction of diphenyl(2-trimethylsilylethyl)phosphine with methyl trifluoromethanesulphonate gave a phosphonium salt from which the side-chain was cleaved with F ® , yielding diphenylmethylph osphine. A slower reaction with the triphenylsilyl-analogue gave the corresponding phosphine oxide. When the cleavage of a diphosphonium salt was attempted the product was a mixture of 1,3-bis-(diphenylphosphino)propane and diphenyl(2-trimethylsilylethyl)phosphine in 1:2 ratio showing the cleavage to be unselective. ß-Silylphosphonium salts derived from 2,2-dimethyl-H-methylene- 1 , 3-dioxolane reacted with F® to provide completely selective cleavage of the dioxolanyl side-chain, and a related bis-phosphonium salt gave only diphenyl(2-trimethylsilylethyl)phosphine under similar conditions. Greater selectivity towards fragmentation of the silylated side-chain was achieved with triethoxysilylethyl derivatives and 1, 3-bis-(diphenylphosphino)propane as well as 1,4-bis-(diphenylphosphino)butane were prepared in this way, in 86% and 9^% yield respectively. It was found that the dioxolanylmethyl side-chain was more readily cleaved from phosphonium salts than was 2-(triethoxylsily1)ethyl, however. In similar manner, reaction of 2-(trimethylsilyloxyethy1)- methyldiphenylphosphonium trifluoromethanesulphonate with Fö gave methyldiphenylphosphine oxide. The same reaction occurred when the corresponding hydroxyethylphosphine was treated with KH. This method was shown to be applicable to the synthesis of biphosphine oxides. Nevertheless, application to dioxolanylmethyl phosphonium salts again led to px^ef erential loss of that side-chain; this caused a change to utilisation of the trans-1,2-dimethylcyclobutyl backbone. The optically active o-anisylmethylphenylphosphine oxidewas prepared in both enantTomeric forms by a literature route. Reaction of the R-isomer with (iPr)2NLi and then acetone led to a new phosphine oxide which was reduced with E t 3N/Cl3$iH and reacted with methyl trifluoromethanesulphonate to giveR - (2-hydroxy-2-methylpropyl)(o-methoxyphenyl)methylphenylphosphonium trifluoromethanesplphonate. This reacted with KH to give the parent phosphineOKas R-enantiomer, optically pure within experimental error. “ A new route for the resolution of trans-cyclobutane-1,2-dicarboxylic acid has been developed. This involved the preparation of the bis-ephedrinium amide and its separationinto diastereomers by silica chromatography. The enantiomers were converted into SS and RR t r a n s - 1 ,2-cyclobutanedimethanolof 100% and 88% optical purTTy respectively. Whilst it proved possible to prepare the racemic bis-trifluoromethanesulphonate, it was an unstable compound and the optically active analogues could not be isolated in several attempts.

A concurrent bienzymatic cascade for the synthesis of optically pure (S)-4-methoxymandelonitrile benzoate ((S)-3) starting from 4-anisaldehyde (1) has been developed. The cascade involves an enantioselective Manihot esculenta hydroxynitrile lyase-catalyzed hydrocyanation of 1, and the subsequent benzoylation of the resulting cyanohydrin (S)-2 catalyzed by Candida antarctica lipase A in organic solvent. To accomplish this new direct synthesis of the protected enantiopure cyanohydrin, both enzymes were immobilized and each biocatalytic step was studied separately in search for a window of compatibility. In addition, potential cross-interactions between the two reactions were identified. Optimization of the cascade resulted in 81% conversion of the aldehyde to the corresponding benzoyl cyanohydrin with 98% enantiomeric excess.
