Preparative access to medicinal chemistry related chiral alcohols using carbonyl reductase technology
摘要:
Libraries of highly enantioenriched secondary alcohols in both enantiomeric forms were synthesised by enzymatic reduction of their parent ketones using selectAZyme (TM) carbonyl reductase (CRED) technology. Commercially available CREDs were able to reduce a range of substrate classes efficiently and with very high enantioselectivity. Matching substrate classes to small subsets of CREDs enabled the fast development of preparative bioreductions and the rapid generation of 100-1500 mg samples of chiral alcohols in typically >95% ee and the majority in >= 99.0% ee. The conditions for small scale synthesis were then scaled up to 0.5 kg to deliver one of the chiral alcohols, (S)-1-(4-bromophenyl)-2-chloroethanol, in 99.8% ee and 91% isolated yield.

enantioselectivity of the bakers' yeastreduction of p-substituted trifluoroacetylbenzene derivatives could be improved by the introduction of some functional groups at the para-position to give the corresponding (R)-trifluoromethyl-substituted benzylic alcohols in high chemical and optical yields. The optically active alcohols obtained were readily converted into optically pure forms by recrystallization
