Chiral 1,2‐amino alcohols are widely represented in biologically active compounds from neurotransmitters to antivirals. While many synthetic methods have been developed for accessing amino alcohols, the direct aminohydroxylation of alkenes to unprotected, enantioenriched amino alcohols remains a challenge. Using directed evolution, we have engineered a hemoprotein biocatalyst based on a thermostable
从神经递质到抗病毒剂的生物活性化合物中广泛存在手性1,2-氨基醇。尽管已经开发出许多用于获得氨基醇的合成方法,但是烯烃直接氨基羟基化为未保护的,对映体富集的氨基醇仍然是一个挑战。使用定向进化,我们设计了一种基于热稳定细胞色素c的血红蛋白生物催化剂,该生物色素在厌氧条件下使用O将烯烃直接以高对映选择性(高达2500 TTN和90%ee)转化为氨基醇。新戊酰羟胺作为胺化剂。建议该反应通过在酶活性位点产生的反应性铁氮物种进行,从而可以通过蛋白质工程调节催化剂的活性和选择性。
