  • Borohydride exchange resin $(BER)-CuSO_4$ system readily reduces {\alpha},{\beta}$-unsaturated ketones to the corresponding saturated alcohols quantitatively. This reduction tolerates many functional groups such as carbon-carbon multiple bonds, chlorides, epoxides, esters, amides and nitriles.

  • The regioselective ring opening of epoxides using elemental iodine and bromine in the presence of methimazole (MMI, a anti-thyroid drug) and its metabolite methimazole-disulfide as new catalysts are studied. MMI easily converted in vitro to MMI-disulfide without any double activation presented in vivo. FT-Raman and UV spectroscopies are used to study the interaction of iodine with these catalysts. The results indicate that both catalysts are efficient in polyiodide formation, but MMI-disulfide can catalyze this reaction in higher yield and regioselectivity. The complex [(MMI-disulfide)I]+.I3- is considered to be formed initially which could be bulkier by addition of excess of iodine in the course of the reaction. These bulky nucleophiles have a fundamental role in the high regioselectivity by attacking the less sterically hindered epoxide carbon. In this study we suggest that MMI is readily converted to MMI-disulfide by interaction with iodine or activated iodine in thyroid gland, and this process is responsible for high anti-thyroid activity of MMI.

  • 광학활성 styrene oxide는 친전자성반응, 친핵성반응, 산 염기반응, 산화 환원반응 등 다양한 반응을 유도할 수 있어 광학활성 중간체로 널리 사용될 수 있다. Styrene monooxygenase (SMO)를 생촉매로 이용하여 styrene의 side-chain 이중결합에 입체선택적으로 에폭사이드 링을 도입시켜 광학활성 styrene oxide 유도체를 제조할 수 있다. 다양한 기질 특이성을 가진 신규 SMO 생촉매 개발, 이상계 반응 시스템, in situ 분리 공정, multimeric oxygenase 효소발현 및 안정화 기술 개발, NADH 등 cofactor regeneration 등에 대한 연구개발이 활발히 진행되고 있어, 미생물유래의 SMO를 생촉매로 활용하는 광학활성 styrene oxide 유도체 제조 기술의 상업화가 기대된다.
