The anomalous course of the microsomal transformation of the exo-2,3-epoxides of norbornene and norbornadiene. The possible involvement of a general acid activation during the enzymatic hydrolysis of these oxides

The enzymatic hydrolysis of exo-2,3-epoxy-norbornane ( 1) with a crude rabbit liver microsomal preparation occurred with a rearrangement and gave selectively (2 R,7 S)-bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-2,7-diol ( 3) , enantiomeric excess (ee) 30±2%. The analogous exo-2,3-epoxy-5-norbornene ( 2) gave, under the...

Zusammenfassung:The enzymatic hydrolysis of exo-2,3-epoxy-norbornane ( 1) with a crude rabbit liver microsomal preparation occurred with a rearrangement and gave selectively (2 R,7 S)-bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-2,7-diol ( 3) , enantiomeric excess (ee) 30±2%. The analogous exo-2,3-epoxy-5-norbornene ( 2) gave, under the same conditions, exclusively endo-6-hydroxymethylbicyclo[3.1.0]hex-2-ene ( 4) , arising from the microsomal catalyzed reduction of the first formed endo-6-formylbicyclo[3.1.0]hex-2-ene ( 5) . A mechanistic explanation for the observed products is proposed.
