Stereoselective alkylation–reduction of β-keto nitriles by the fungus Curvularia lunata
摘要:
The alkylation-reduction (AR) reaction of beta -keto nitriles by growing cells of Curvularia lunata CECT 2130 has been explored. The reaction conditions for the ethylation of benzoylacetonitrile have been optimized in terms of both yield and stereoselectivity and the mechanism of this biotransformation vas studied. The scope of this reaction has been extended to other alkylations (R = Et, Pr, Bu, iso-Bu) and to a series of aromatic and heteroaromatic substrates, yielding the corresponding optically active alpha -alkyl beta -hydroxy nitrites. The yield (directly related to competing carbonyl reduction reaction) depends on the substrate bulk. whereas the enantiomeric and diastereomeric excesses (both up to 98%) seem to be dependent on several Factors.

Efficient methodology to produce a duloxetine precursor using whole cells of Rhodotorula rubra
摘要:
Different types of yeasts were employed as biocatalysts in the reduction of beta-ketonitriles. The red microorganism, Rhodotorula rubra, was selected as the best performing catalyst in the reduction of different substituted ketonitriles giving total stereoselectivity in most cases (90-99% ee). In particular, its use as fresh and lyophilised cells was expanded to a semi-preparative scale for the production of the duloxetine precursor 1a, R. rubra was screened in the reduction of alkylation products in comparison with Pichia henricii for assignment of configuration of products 2a and 11a after derivatisation with S-MPA.
