Rationalisation of the stereochemical outcome of ene-reductase-mediated bioreduction of α,β-difunctionalised alkenes
摘要:
The OYE1-3-mediated reductions of some alpha,beta-difunctionalised alkenes, showing on the double bond a nitrile and ester group, are submitted to a careful stereochemical analysis, in order to identify which of the two electron-withdrawing groups (EWGs) is responsible for the activation of the C=C double bond towards reduction and for establishing hydrogen bond interactions within the binding pocket of the enzymes. The results show that for most of these substrates the activating EWG is the CN moiety linked to the prostereogenic olefinic carbon atom. The final stereochemical outcome can be explained through the empirical model which has been recently developed for difunctionalised alkenes activated by carbonyl/carboxyl containing EWGs.In a single case the activation is due to the COOR group linked to the less substituted olefinic carbon atom: an alternative empirical model is established for this kind of substrates, taking into consideration the OYE-catalysed reductions of beta,beta'-disubstituted-a-monofunctionalised alkenes.

Ethyl cyanoformate and methyl cyanoformate (Mander’s reagent) are both routinely used to perform C-selective ketone alkoxycarbonylations. Interestingly, both reagents were found to yield oxoalkenenitriles through an unprecedented deoxycyanation of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds (e.g., 2-methylcyclohexane-1,3-dione). Although this method is not general, this is the first time that both Mander’s reagent and
We have developed a nickel-catalysed regio- and stereoselective hydrocyanation of alkynoates that gives syn-β-cyanoalkenes. DFT calculations suggest that a favored transition state promotes Cα–H bond formation for determining regio- and stereoselectivity of the products.

The asymmetric bioreduction of a library of beta-cyanoacrylate esters using ene-reductases was studied with the aim to provide a biocatalytic route to precursors for GABA analogues, such as pregabalin. The stereochemical outcome could be controlled by substrate-engineering through size-variation of the ester moiety and by employing stereochemically pure (E)- or (Z)-isomers, which allowed to access both enantiomers of each product in up to quantitative conversion in enantiomerically pure form. In addition, stereoselectivities and conversions could be improved by mutant variants of OPR1, and the utility of the system was demonstrated by preparative-scale applications.
