The development of hollow fiber reactor system for the production of chiral 1,2-epoxy-7-octence by epoxide hydrolase for Rhodotorula glutinis was investigated. Dodecane with high solubility of the racemic substrate passed through the lumen side of the hollow fiber reactor and cell suspension was recirculated through the shell side. The 2nd hollow fiber reactor was coupled to the production reactor to extract the diol byproduct which was the inhibitor of epoxide hydrolase. Optically pure (S)-1,2-epoxy-7-octene (0.6 M in dodecane) could be obtained using hollow-fiber reactor system.

(-)-Fumagillol (1), a hydrolysis product of fumagillin, has been synthesized by several group from commercially available 1,2:5,6-di-O-isopropylidene-${\alpha}$-D-allofuranose in a highly stereoselective manner. Chiral centers on C5 and C6 came from D-allofuranose and the asymmetric center on C4 was accomplished by 1,3-chirality transfer using the Claisen rearrangement on a chiral allyl alcohol. Chirality, which is necessary on an epoxide consisting of the spiro-ring system, was diastereoselectively constructed by the well-known reaction, intramolecular ester enolate alkylation (IEEA), which showed that this reaction can be applied to the alpha-alkoxy ester system. The epoxide on the side chain was regioselectively introduced by the difference between the number of substituents on the vinyl groups. This accomplishment proved that IEEA can be a useful tool for the synthesis of complex molecules.

The newly synthesized homogeneous chiral Co(III) salen complexes were anchored non-covalently on the acidic sites of mesoporous Al-SBA-15. The Bronsted and Lewis acidic sites are attributed to the immobilization of fluorine functionalized chiral salen complexes on the supports. XRD, BET, TEM, FT-IR and ESCA (XPS) analyses were performed to characterize the property of support, and the structure of new homogeneous and heterogeneous chiral Co salen catalyst. The homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts could be applied in asymmetric ring opening of epichlorohydrine (ECH) by water. They showed very high enantioselectivity and a good yield up to 99% in the catalytic synthesis of optically active products.

A new synthetic sequence for the chiral lactone moiety of compactin was developed from $\alpha$-D-glucose in 9 steps via simultaneous reductive detosylation and epoxide-ring opening of 2, 3-epoxy-4-tosylate using NaBH_4$ to afford 2, 4-dideoxy sugar as a key intermediate.

Epoxide hydrolase(EH) catalyze the enantioselective hydrolysis of racemic epoxides to corresponding diols. A recombinant Pichia pastoris with EH from Rhodotorula glutinis has been constructed by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR). The recombinant biocatalyst enantioselectively hydrolyze (R)-styrene oxide faster than (S)-enantiomer. The catalytic activity of recombinant biocatalyst was 7-fold higher than that of wild-type strain. The recombinant EH biocatalyst can be used for kinetic resolution for the production of enantiopure styrene oxide.
