Chiral epoxides are highly valuable intermediates, used for the synthesis of pharmaceutical drugs and agrochemicals. They have broad scope of market demand because of their applications. A major challenge in modern organic chemistry is to generate such compounds in high yields, with high stereo- and regio-selectivities. Epoxide hydrolases (EH) are promising biocatalysts for the preparation of chiral epoxides and vicinal diols. They exhibit high enantioselectivity for their substrates, and can be effectively used in the resolution of racemic epoxides through enantioselective hydrolysis. The selective hydrolysis of a racemic epoxide can produce both the corresponding diols and the unreacted epoxides with high enantiomeric excess (ee) value. The potential of microbial EH to produce chiral epoxides and vicinal diol has prompted researchers to explore their use in the synthesis of epoxides and diols with high ee values.

Novel binol-based uryl and guanidinium receptors having higher ring conjugation at the periphery of the hydrogen bonding donor sites have been synthesized and utilized to study the enantioselective recognition of 1,2-aminoalcohols and chirality conversion of natural amino acids via imine bond formation. There is a remarkable decrease in the stereoselectivites as the conjugation increases at the periphery of hydrogen bonding donor sites. The guanidinium-based receptors show more selectivity towards the amino alcohol than that of the uryl based ones due to its charge reinforced hydrogen bonds. The conversion efficiency of L-amino acids to Damino acids by the uryl-based receptors is higher than that of the guanidinium-based ones.

We have expressed extracellular poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) depolymerase of Ralstonia pickettii T1 on the Escherichia coli surface using Pseudomonas OprF protein as a fusion partner by C-terminal deletion-fusion strategy. Surface display of depolymerase was confirmed by flow cytometry, immunofluorescence microscopy and whole cell hydrolase activity. For the application, depolymerase was used as an immobilized catalyst of enantioselective hydrolysis reaction for the first time. After 48 h, (R)-methyl mandelate was completely hydrolyzed, and (S)-mandelic acid was produced with over 99% enantiomeric excess. Our findings suggest that surface displayed depolymerase on E. coli can be used as an enantioselective biocatalyst.

A novel two-step acetone treatment method was developed to enhance the enantioselectivity of Candida rugosa lipase (CRL) toward the hydrolysis of racemic naproxen methyl ester. The acetone-teated CRL was considerably more enantioselective than the crude CRL, yielding an enantiomeric excess of 98~100%. The crude and acetone-treated CRLs were subjected to anion exchange chromatography, and their chromatography profiles were compared. In consequence, both chromatography profiles were found to be almost identical, resulting in two separate lipase peaks (lipase A and B). The lipase B, which is known to be less enantioselective, was treated with acetone using a two-step treatment method. The enantioselectivity of acetone-treated lipase B was dramatically increased, yielding an enantiomeric excess of 99%.

The enantioselective ${\alpha}$-chlorination of cyclic ${\beta}$-ketoesters catalyzed by chiral 2-aminoalcohol derivatives (2f) has been developed. For the optically active ${\alpha}$-chlorinated products, the isolated yields are in the range of 85-94% and the enantiomeric excesses are up to 84% ee.

Conformationally locked nucleosides are important in searching selective agonists and antagonists for P2Y receptors. There were two previous synthetic works of the crucial intermediate, cyclopentenyl alcohol (3), which had some inefficiency like using too strong dianionic base and synthesis of racemate. Here we describes a facile synthesis of the intermediate using Sharpless epoxidation and the opening of epoxide ring using zinc, followed by Grubb's metathesis as key steps. The intermediate was converted to the southern bicyclo[3.2.0]heptane for confirming its usefulness.

Enantioselective hydrolysis for the production of chiral styrene oxide was investigated using the epoxide hydrolase activity of a newly isolated Rhodosporidium kratochvilovae SYU-08. The effects of reaction parameters - buffer type, pH, temperature, initial substrate concentrations, phenyl-1,2-ethanediol concentrations on hydrolysis rate, and enantioselectivity - were analyzed. Optically active (S)-styrene oxide with an enantiomeric excess higher than 99 % was obtained from its racemate. with a yield of 38 % (theoretically 50% maximum yield) from an initial concentration of 80 mM.

The chiral B-isopinocampheyl-9-borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane-potassium hydride (IPC-9-BBN-KH) and potassium B-isopinocampheyl-9-boratabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane (K IPC-9-BBNH) systems were applied to the enantioselective reduction of representative racemic epoxides, namely 1,2-epoxybutane, 1,2-epoxyoctane, 3,3-dimethyl-1,2-epoxybutane and styrene oxide. In the case of IPC-9-BBN-KH system, the optical yields are in the range of 8.3-37.4$\%$ ee. However, the system of K IPC-9-BBNH provides significantly lower optical yields, showing 7-22.5$\%$ ee. These results strongly suggest that the enantioselective coordination of chiral organoborane to the epoxy oxygen of racemic epoxides plays an important role in this resolution.
