Enantio- and chemoselective bioreduction of β-keto nitriles by the fungus Curvularia lunata
摘要:
The use of methanol as cosolvent allows the chemoselective reduction of aromatic beta -keto nitriles by the fungus Curvularia lunata CECT 2130, yielding the corresponding (S)-beta -hydroxy nitriles in a highly enantioselective way. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

A simple and very efficient chiral aqua iridium(III) diamine complex leads to excellent enantioselectivities in the asymmetrictransferhydrogenation of various α‐cyano and α‐nitro ketones. The catalyst provides the ortho‐substituted aromatic alcohols with especially high ee values. The diamine ligands can be used directly as chiral ligands; conversion into the corresponding sulfamide is not necessary
Direct catalytic enantioselective cross aldol-typereaction of an acetate surrogate was developed using Cu alkoxide-chiral phosphine complexes as catalysts. Chemoselective activation and deprotonation of the donor substrate (acetonitrile) by the soft metal alkoxide in a strongly donating solvent (HMPA) are key to success in this reaction. Useful chemical yields and promising enantioselectivities are
Efficient Lipase-Catalyzed Kinetic Resolution and Dynamic Kinetic Resolution of β-Hydroxy Nitriles. Correction of Absolute Configuration and Transformation to Chiral β-Hydroxy Acids and γ-Amino Alcohols
Chemoenzymatic dynamickineticresolution of β-hydroxy nitriles 1 has been carried out using Candida antarctica lipase B and a ruthenium catalyst. The use of a hydrogen source to depress ketone formation in the dynamickineticresolution yields the corresponding acetates 2 in good yield and high enantioselectivity. It is shown that the ruthenium catalyst and the enzyme can be recycled when used in
Rational engineering of the carbonylreductase PhADH resulted in a double mutant H93C/A139L, which enhanced the enantioselectivity toward the reduction of 3-cyclopentyl-3-ketopropanenitrile 1 a from 85 % to 99 %, as well as a 6-fold improvement in the specific activity. (S)-3-Cyclopentyl-3-hydroxypropanenitrile ((S)-1 b) was prepared at 200 g/L (1.5 M) substrate concentration.

A library of 20 bakers’ yeast reductases, that are overexpressed in Escherichia coli, were screened against a variety of β-keto nitriles. Enzymes from the aldose reductase and the short chain dehydrogenase family displayed activity toward these substrates. All of the seven substrates were reduced with high enantioselectivities and in some cases both antipodes could be synthesized in high ees. These
