A one-pot consecutive two-enzyme sequential cascade toward chiral γ-butyrolactones using an enoate reductase as well as alcohol dehydrogenases in combination with a glucose dehydrogenase is reported. In this scalable process, the products were obtained in high yield (up to 90%) and with perfect enantioselectivity (98→99% ee). The starting materials, ethyl 4-oxo-pent-2-enoates, are readily accessible
报道了使用烯醇酸还原酶以及醇脱氢酶与葡萄糖脱氢酶的组合,向手性γ-丁内酯的一锅连续二酶顺序级联。在这种可扩展的过程中,以高收率(高达90%)和完美的对映选择性(98→99%ee)获得了产品。起始原料4-氧代-戊-2-烯酸乙酯很容易通过Wittig型反应获得。此外,已对烯酸还原酶催化反应的立体选择性进行了详细研究,从而使人们对该酶的机理有了更深入的认识。
