방향족 니트로 화합물을 선택적으로 환원시켜 치환체가 있는 아닐린을 생성하는 것은 산업적 측면에서 볼때 의미있는 반응이다. 본 연구에서는 Bakers' Yeast-NaOH의 환원작용에 의하여 m-Bromonitrobenzene 의 니트로기가 선택적으로 빠르게 환원되어 치환체가 있는 아닐린 화합물이 형성됨을 확인하였고 특히 Nitrosobenzene이 수산화 나트륨이 없는 조건에서 Bakers' Yeast만의 작용에 의해 환원되어 아닐린을 생성함을 확인하였다. 또한 Nitrosobenzene의 Bakers' Yeast 환원에 미치는 저해제들의 효과 및 온도, pH의 영향 등을 조사하였다.

(R)-[3,5-Bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl] ethanol is a key chiral intermediate for the synthesis of aprepitant. In this paper, an efficient synthetic process for (R)-[3,5- bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl] ethanol was developed via the asymmetric reduction of 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl) acetophenone, catalyzed by Leifsonia xyli CCTCC M 2010241 cells using isopropanol as the co-substrate for cofactor recycling. Firstly, the substrate and product solubility and cell membrane permeability of biocatalysts were evaluated with different co-substrate additions into the reaction system, in which isopropanol manifested as the best hydrogen donor of coupled NADH regeneration during the bioreduction of 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl) acetophenone. Subsequently, the optimization of parameters for the bioreduction were undertaken to improve the effectiveness of the process. The determined efficient reaction system contained 200mM of 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl) acetophenone, 20% (v/v) of isopropanol, and 300 g/l of wet cells. The bioreduction was executed at $30^{\circ}C$ and 200 rpm for 30 h, and 91.8% of product yield with 99.9% of enantiometric excess (e.e.) was obtained. The established bioreduction reaction system could tolerate higher substrate concentrations of 3,5- bis(trifluoromethyl) acetophenone, and afforded a satisfactory yield and excellent product e.e. for the desired (R)-chiral alcohol, thus providing an alternative to the chemical synthesis of (R)-[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl] ethanol.

Considerable progress has been made in functionalization of the soy isoflavones through enzymatic modification of daidzin, genistin, and glycitin. After hydrolysis of $\beta$-glucosides into their corresponding aglycones, these compounds were structurally modified via biotransformations such as regioselective hydroxylation, enantioselective reduction, regioselective methylation, and polymerization. These reactions often resulted in an increase of the biological activities (e.g., anti oxidative activity, antiproliferative activity) and/or improvement of the physico-chemcial properties (e.g., water solubility, bioavailability). This review briefly summarizes on-going research activities on the biofunctionalization of the soy isoflavones.

본 연구에서는 알콕시-아민-알루미늄 유도체인 DPHMP-AlH와 프로피오페논, 부티로페논과의 분자구조 및 경계궤도함수의 특성을 알아보았다. 또한, 전이상태의 입체구조 및 열역학적 파라미터를 계산하여 최종 생성물인 (R),(S)-페닐프로판올과 (R),(S)-페닐부탄올의 선택적 환원에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 그 결과 입체 분자구조적 안정성을 고려해 볼 때 (S)형 DPHMP-AlH와 알킬페논의 전이상태가 더 안정한 것으로 나타났으며, 이 결과로부터 DPHMP-AlH와 알킬페논의 선택적 환원으로 얻어진 최종 결과물은 (S)-(1)-페닐프로판올과 (S)-(1)-페닐부탄올의 형성이 유리한 것을 확인하였다.

Organocatalysis is a relatively new and popular area within the field of chiral molecule synthesis. It is one of the main branches of enantioselective synthesis with enzymatic and organometallic catalysis. In recent years, immense high quality studies on catalysis by chiral secondary amines were reported. These progresses instantly led to different organocatalytic activation concepts, so thousands of researchers from academia and the chemical industry are currently involved in this field and new ideas, new approaches, and creative thinking have been rapidly emerged. Organocatalysts, some of which are natural products, appear to solve the problems of metal catalysts. Compared to metal-based catalysis, they have many advantages including savings in cost, time, and energy, easier experimental procedure, and reduction of chemical waste. These benefits originate from the following factors. First, organocatalysts are generally stable in oxygen and water in the atmosphere, there is no need for special equipments or experimental techniques to operate under anhydrous or anaerobic conditions. Second, organic reagents are naturally available from biological materials as single enantiomers that they are easy and cheap to prepare which makes them suitable for small-scale to industrial-scale reactions. Third, in terms of safety related catalysis, small organic molecules are non-toxic and environmentally friendly. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to develop novel synthetic methods and design for various organocatalyst. Furthermore, it is expected that these organocatalysts can be applied to a variety of asymmetric reactions and study the transition state of these reactions using a metal sulface. Here, we report the synthesis of unprecedented organocatalysts, proline and pyrrolidine derivatives with quaternary carbon center.
