Four mutants of the cyclohexanone monooxygenase (CHMO) evolved as catalysts for Baeyer-Villiger oxidation of 4-hydroxycyclohexanone were investigated as catalysts for a variety of 4-substituted and 4,4-disubstituted cyclohexanones. Several excellent catalytic matches (mutant/substrate) were identified. The most important, however, is the finding that, in a number of cases, a mutant with a single exchange, Phe432Ser, was shown to be as robust and more selective as a catalyst than the wild-type CHMO. All biotransformations were performed on a laboratory scale, allowing full characterization of the products. The absolute configurations of two products were established. A model suggesting a possible role of the 432 serine residue in enantioselectivity control is proposed.

A series of cyclohexanones substituted at the 4-position with a selection of hydrophobic and hydrophilic groups were used as substrates in the evaluation of six new cyclopentanone monooxygenase (CPMO) mutants. These mutants were obtained through evolutionary modifications in two specific regions of the CPMO's putative active site. Several mutant enzymes with improved enantioselectivity were identified. Analysis of the results, in terms of a diamond model, illustrates how a family of cyclohexanone substrates may be used to explore putative active sites of Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenases (BVMOs) and to design productive mutations for specific substrates.

Whole cells of an Escherichia coli strain that overexpresses Acinetobacter sp. NCIB 9871 cyclohexanone monooxygenase have been used for the Baeyer-Villiger oxidations of a variety of 4-mono- and 4,4-disubstituted cyclohexanones. In cases where comparisons were possible, this new biocatalytic reagent provided lactones with chemical yields and optical purities that were comparable to those obtained from the purified enzyme or a strain of bakers' yeast that expresses the same enzyme. The efficient production of cyclohexanone monooxygenase in the E. coli expression system (ca. 30% of total soluble protein) allowed these oxidations to reach completion in approximately half the time required for the engineered bakers' yeast strain. Surprisingly, 4,4-disubstituted cyclohexanones were also accepted by the enzyme, and the enantioselectivities of these oxidations could be rationalized by considering the conformational energies of bound substrates along with the enzyme's intrinsic enantioselectivity. The enzyme expressed in E. coli cells also oxidized several 4-substituted cyclohexanones bearing polar substituents, often with high enantioselectivities. In the case of 4-iodocyclohexanone the lactone was obtained in > 98% ee and its absolute configuration was assigned by X-ray crystallography. The crystal belongs to the monoclinic P2(1) space group with a = 5.7400(10), b = 6.1650(10), c = 11.377(2) Angstrom, b = 99.98(2)degrees, and Z = 2. Taken together, these results demonstrate the utility of an engineered bacterial strain in delivering useful chiral building blocks in an experimentally simple manner.
