A graduate student was studying enzymatic reductions of cyclohexanones when she encountered some interesting chemistry. When she used an enzyme and NADPH to reduce the following ketone, she was surprised to find that the product was optically active. She carefully repurified the product so that no enzyme, NADPH, or other contaminants were present. Still, the product was optically active. Does the product have any asymmetric carbon atoms or other stereocenters?
When carbonyl compounds are reduced with a reagent such as LiAlH4 or NaBH4 and a new stereogenic center is formed, what will the composition of the product mixture be?
Forms more of one enantiomer than another because of steric reasons around the carbonyl
Forms more of one enantiomer than another depending on the temperature of the reaction
Forms different products depending on the solvent used
Forms a racemic mixture of the two possible enantiomers
The synthesis of carbohydrates can be particularly difficult because of the large number of chiral centers and OH functional groups present.
Epoxides can be useful synthetic intermediates in carbohydrate synthesis. Draw the product of the reaction of a phenyl Gilman reagent with this
epoxide.
