Trichosporon beigelli esterase (TBE): a versatile esterase for the resolution of economically important racemates
摘要:
A hydrolase producing strain Trichosporon beigelli esterase (TBE) isolated from local cottage cheese in its native form has displayed versatility and high efficacy in the kinetic resolution of a wide range of economically important substrates, which include racemic secondary alcohols, such as 1-(6-methoxy-2-naphtliyl)ethanol (E similar to 316), 1-(3,4-methylenedioxyphenyl)ethanol and pentanol (E similar to 180 and 156 resp.), and alkyl esters of carboxylic acids such as ibuprofen (E similar to 340), 2-(benzylthio)propanoic acid (E similar to 1000). In other substrates such as in the primary alcohol 2-(6-methoxy-2-naphthyl)propan-1-ol and carboxylic acids such as 2-(5-bromo-6-methoxy-2-naphthyl)propanoic acid, 2-(2-naphthyloxy)propanoic acid, and substituted 2-thiopropanoic acids, it displayed moderate to low selectivity. Commercial lipases such as CCL, PPL, and PSL were also used in the resolution of the substrates for comparative studies. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

reported by direct condensation of equimolar amounts of carboxylic acids with alcohols catalyzed by an easy to prepare catalyst system of perchloricacid immobilized on silicagel (HClO4−SiO2). The direct condensation of aryl, heteroaryl, styryl, aryl alkyl, alkyl, cycloalkyl, and long-chain aliphatic carboxylic acids with primary/secondary alkyl/cycloalkyl, allyl, propargyl, and long-chain aliphatic alcohols
Esterification of carboxylic acid is achieved using acetonitrile as a water trap. Water liberated during esterification is consumed in cyanide hydrolysis, thereby driving the esterification to completion. Substrates having carboxylic acid and nitrile groups undergo intramolecular dehydration and rehydration to amido esters in the absence of acetonitrile. Cyano acids also undergo esterification and Ritter reaction in one pot when excess alcohol is used. For the first time, we have observed an interesting Ritter reaction of primary alcohols, leading to ester amide product in one pot. [Supplementary materials are available for this article.

The addition of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) resulted in a dramatic improvement of the enantioselectivity of the lipasecatalyzed hydrolysis of racemic butyl 2-(4-substituted phenoxy)propanoates, racemic butyl 2-(4-isobutylphenyl)propanoate, and racemic butyl 2-(6-methoxy-2-naphthyl)propanoate in an aqueous buffer solution. An increase in the E value by up to two orders of magnitude was observed for some esters. As to the effects of SDS on the structure of a lipase, FT-IR and fluorescence measurements suggest some conformational change and/or an increase of the flexibility of the lipase, although the native secondary structure of the lipase is held even in the presence of 100 mM SDS. The origin of the enantioselectivity enhancement brought about by the addition of SDS is briefly discussed on the basis of the values of the initial rates obtained for each enantiomer of the substrate.
