Description
Summary:Graphic Three chiral stable free radicals containing a hydroxymethyl group have been resolved by biocatalysis. By recrystallization and/or re-esterification each molecule was produced in very high enantiomeric purity. The resolved 1-oxyl-3-hydroxymethyl-2,2,5,5-tetramethylpyrrolidine alcohols were converted to methanethiosulfonate spin labels, 1-oxyl-3-methanesulfonylthiomethyl-2,2,5,5-tetramethylpyrrolidines. Enantiomeric purities have been determined by the 19F NMR method of the respective Mosher esters. Absolute configurations were assigned by comparing the chemical shifts of the Mosher esters and also by comparing the specific rotations obtained with the same enzyme preparations.
