Abstract

Abstract A new biocatalytic route for the synthesis of both enantiomers of Timolol (1) is described. Starting from 3, 4-dichloro-1, 2, 5-thiadiazole (2),(R)-and (S)-Timolol (87% ee) were obtained in 35% and 30% overall yield, respectively. Asymmetric reduction of the intermediate haloketone 5 with baker's yeast afforded the corresponding halohydrin 6 in the optically active form (87% ee), which gave the R enantiomer (distomer) of Timolol. The S ...
