Facile Enzymatic Aldol Reactions with Dihydroxyacetone in the Presence of Arsenate
摘要:
Aldol reactions of in situ formed dihydroxyacetone arsenate with different aldehydes were catalyzed by bacterial D-fructose-1,6-bisphosphate aldolase (FruA). Aldolases from bacteria were found to be much more stable and active than FruA from rabbit muscle. Arsenate acts as a phosphate mimic and can, in principle, be used in catalytic amounts. The use of inorganic arsenate and dihydroxyacetone afforded high yields with hydrophobic aldehydes. Cosolvents increased the solubility of hydrophobic aldehydes and afforded higher reaction rates and enzyme stability. Insight is given, for the first time, in the influence of arsenate on the stereoselectivity of the aldol reaction.
Substrate specificity and carbohydrate synthesis using transketolase
摘要:
This paper describes the use of the enzyme transketolase as a catalyst in organic synthesis. The properties of transketolase from both yeast and spinach were investigated. The yeast enzyme was found to be more convenient for routine use. Examination of the substrate specificity of yeast transketolase demonstrated that the enzyme accepts a wide variety of 2-hydroxy aldehydes as substrates. A practical protocol for transketolase-catalyzed condensation of hydroxypyruvic acid with these aldehydes has been developed and used for the synthesis of four carbohydrates: L-idose, L-gulose, 2-deoxy-L-xylohexose, and L-xylose.

By the action of D-fructose 1,6-bisphosphate aldolases (FruA) fromrabbitmuscle and Staphylococcus carnosus, various ketoses were synthesized from glyceraldehydes or other aliphatic aldehydes as acceptors in a one-pot four-enzyme system.

A total of four enzymatic steps were combined, in a: one-pot reaction, to synthesize carbohydrates starting from glycerol. First, phosphorylation of glycerol by reaction with pyrophosphate in the presence of phytase at pH 4.0 in 95% glycerol afforded racemic glycerol-3-phosphate in 100% yield. The L-enantiomer of the latter underwent selective aerobic oxidation to dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) at pH 7.5 in the presence of glycerolphosphate oxidase (GPO) and catalase. Subsequently, fructose-1,6-bisphosphate aldolase catalyzed the aldol reaction of DHAP with butanal. Finally, dephosphorylation of the aldol adduct was mediated by phytase at pH 4 affording 5-deoxy-5-ethyl-D-xylulose in, 57% yield from L-glycerol-3-phosphate. The phytase on/off-snitch by pH was the key to controlling phosphorylation and dephosphorylation.
