An enantioselective synthesis of (+)-corynomycolic acid, and its elaboration to esters of trehalose, glucose and glycerol, is described. Trehalose dicorynomycolate and trehalose monocorynomycolate activate human and mouse Mincle as effectively as trehalose dicorynomycolate (cord factor). Glucose monomycolate is revealed to be a potent activator of both mouse and human Mincle. Glycerol monocorynomycolate signals through human Mincle, with the activity predominantly residing in the 2′S-isomer.

Enantioselective hydrogenation using chiral complexes between atropisomeric diphosphines and ruthenium is a powerful tool for producing chiral compounds. Using a simple and straightforward in situ catalyst preparation, the conditions were optimized using molecular hydrogen for both academic and industrial purposes. This led to the best conditions and the lowest catalytic ratio required for the pressure used. Hydrogenation of various β-keto esters was efficiently performed at atmospheric and higher pressures, leading to the use of very low catalyst-substrate ratios up to 1/20,000. Asymmetric hydrogenations were used in key-steps towards the total synthesis of corynomycolic acid, Duloxetine and Fluoxetine.
A General Method for the Synthesis of Both Enantiomers of Optically Pure β-Hydroxy Esters from (S)-(p-Chlorophenylsulfinyl)acetone Easily Obtainable by Kinetic Resolution with Bakers' Yeast

Both enantiomers of various optically pure (R)- and (S)-β-hydroxy esters were generally synthesized from (S)-(p-chlorophenylsulfinyl)acetone obtained by kinetic resolution with bakers' yeast, followed by γ-alkylation, diastereoselective reduction, subsequent introduction of ester group and reductive elimination of the sulfinyl group.The key step of the diastereoselective reduction of (S)-β-keto sulfoxides was performed with diisobutylaluminum hydride to give (R)C-(S)S-β-hydroxy sulfoxides or after complexation with zinc chloride followed by addition of diisobutylaluminum hydride to give (S)C-(S)S-β-hydroxy sulfoxides which were easily separated in an optically pure form by easy crystallization or separation by silica-gel chromatography due to the p-chlorophenyl moiety in the β-hydroxy sulfoxides.The utility of the present method could be successfully demonstrated in the synthesis of both (+)- and (-)-corynomycolic acids from optically pure methyl esters of (R)- and (S)-3-hydroxyoctadecanoic acid by alkylation with tetradecyl iodide at α-position and hydrolysis.
