The resolution of racemic α‐, β‐, and γ‐hydroxy‐ω‐alkenylphosphonates was achieved by enzymatic hydrolysis of the corresponding acetates. The optically active alcohols were transformed into β‐hydroxyaldehydes and allowed to react with dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) via enzymatic aldol addition catalyzed by rabbit muscle fructose 1,6‐bisphosphate aldolase (FruArab). After enzymatic dephosphorylation, a set of novel sugar phosphonates was obtained.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
