4-substituted cyclohexanones (R = Me, Et, n-Pr, i-Pr, allyl, n-Bu), almost all of which were oxidized to the corresponding e-caprolactones in good yields and high enantioselectivities (typically ≥ 95%). Mesomeric 4-substituted cyclohexanones were oxidized to e-caprolactones in ≥ 92% ee. The engineered yeast strain also effected kinetic resolutions of 2-substituted cyclohexanones with enantioselectivity values

The catalytic repertoire of baker's yeast has been expanded to include enantioselective Baeyer-Villiger oxidations. To create this catalyst, the Acinetobacter sp. cyclohexanone monooxygenase gene was inserted into a yeast expression vector and this was used to create a 'designer yeast' that performed oxidation reactions. Whole cell-mediated Baeyer-Villiger reactions were carried out on a 1.0 mmol scale and several cyclic ketones were converted in 20-30 h into the corresponding lactones in isolated yields of 60-83%. Under the reaction conditions, ketone reduction constituted only a minor side-reaction. Oxidation of prochiral 4-substituted cyclohexanones produced lactones with very high enantioselectivities.
Baeyer‐Villiger monooxygenases belong to a family of flavin‐binding proteins that catalyze the Baeyer‐Villiger (BV) oxidation of ketones to produce lactones or esters, which are important intermediates in pharmaceuticals or sustainable materials. Phenylacetone monooxygenase (PAMO) from Thermobifida fusca with moderate thermostability catalyzes the oxidation of aryl ketone substrates, but is limited by high specificity and narrow substrate scope. In the present study, we applied loop optimization by loop swapping followed by focused saturation mutagenesis in order to evolve PAMO mutants capable of catalyzing the regioselective BV oxidation of cyclohexanone and cyclobutanone derivatives with formation of either normal or abnormal esters or lactones. We further modulated PAMO to increase enantioselectivity. Crystal structure studies indicate that rotation occurs in the NADP‐binding domain and that the high B‐factor region is predominantly distributed in the catalytic pocket residues. Computational analyses further revealed dynamic character in the catalytic pocket and reshaped hydrogen bond interaction networks, which is more favorable for substrate binding. Our study provides useful insights for studying enzyme‐substrate adaptations.

4-alkyl-substituted cyclohexanones tested, enzymes were discovered that afforded each of the corresponding (S)-lactones in ≥98% ee. This was also true for the 2-alkyl-substituted cyclohexanones examined. The situation was more complex for 3-akyl-substituted cyclohexanones. In a few cases, single Baeyer−Villiger monooxygenases possessed both high regio- and enantioselectivities toward these compounds
