“…[3][4][5][6][7][8][9] In previous work using aldehyde 2 as an intermediate for the synthesis of 5-HETE, 7) the lower optical purity of (+)-(R)-2 resulted in a lower enantiomeric excess (95z ee) of (5R)-HETE 1 than that of (5S )-HETE 1 (99z ee). In this present study, the respective transformation of yeast-mediated reduction products 3 and 4 10) to (+)-(R)-2 and (-)-(S )-2 by employing Baeyer-Viliiger oxidation with complete retention of the enantiomeric excess is described (Schemes 1 and 2).…”
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.
