2.6.3 Epoxide Hydrolysis

View through CrossRef
AbstractThis chapter focuses on the selective biocatalytic ring opening of epoxides by water, leading to vicinal diols or other reaction products. This strategy is also used by nature to prepare a range of important metabolites and natural products by epoxide hydrolase catalyzed ring-opening reactions. The hydrolysis of easily accessible racemic epoxides to enantiomerically pure epoxides or vicinal diols has become of increasing interest as a method for preparing a great variety of chiral intermediates for the synthesis of pharmacologically active compounds, agrochemicals, flavors and fragrances, and metabolites.
