General description

2′-Chloroacetophenone undergoes stereoselective reduction to (R)-2′-chloro-1-phenyl-ethanol by Saccharomyces cerevisiae B5. It is commonly used as lacrimator.

Application

2′-Chloroacetophenone was employed as model substrate to investigate the enzymatic performance of Aspergillus terreus and Rhizopus oryzae in enantioselective bioreductions using glycerol as a co-solvent.

A reliable synthetic protocol toward a series of fused chalcogenopheno[1]benzochalcogenophene (CBC) building blocks was developed based on a Fiesselmann reaction. The obtained CBC units were applied in McMurry and Stille coupling reactions toward symmetric regioisomeric ene-linked dimers. These π-conjugated compounds
