The present study describes the first-time usage of an isolated thermostable Baeyer–Villiger monooxygenase (phenylacetone monooxygenase, PAMO) in the presence of ionic liquids. The stability, activity and selectivity of PAMO as an oxidative enzyme in the presence of different ionic liquids were studied. This revealed that the addition of some specific ionic liquids, such Ammoeng™ 102 and [bmim]MeSO4, can significantly enhance the E-value in the oxidation of racemic benzylketones. Moreover, the use of ionic liquids increases the optimal substrate concentration for performing Baeyer–Villiger oxidation, thereby extending the biocatalytic repertoire of PAMO for synthetic applications.

enantioselective kinetic resolution of a set of racemic substituted 3-phenylbutan-2-ones employing phenylacetone monooxygenase (PAMO) in non-conventional media was performed. The studies have revealed the effects of a range of solvents on the biocatalytic properties of the biocatalyst. Also, the enzymatic oxidation of α-acetylphenylacetonitrile was performed using organic cosolvents. This has resulted in a dynamic

The application of three BVMOs for the enantioselective oxidation of 3-phenylbutan-2-ones with different substituents in the aromatic moiety is described. By choosing the appropriate biocatalyst and substrate combination, chiral ketones and esters can be obtained with excellent enantiopurities. This methodology could also be applied to the resolution of racemic alpha-alkyl benzylketones with longer alkyl chains as well as with two substituted alpha-substituted benzylacetones. A kinetic analysis revealed that the BVMOs studied effectively convert all tested compounds showing that the enzymes are tolerant towards the substrate structure while being highly enantioselective. These properties render BVMOs as valuable biocatalysts for the preparation of compounds with high interest in organic synthesis. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
