Stereoretentive Nitrile Hydratase-Catalysed Hydration of d-Phenylglycine Nitrile
摘要:
The hydration of D-phenylglycine nitrile to the corresponding amide, mediated by nitrile hydratase-containing microorganisms, was studied, Batch and fed-batch reactions were compared with regard to degradation and racemisation of the chemically labile substrate. A batch process gave satisfactory results and at up to 25 mM D-phenylglycine nitrile (D-1), D-phenylglycine amide was obtained in 94% yield with 92% ee using an immobilised Rhodococcus sp. (NOVO SP 361). The enzyme could be reused, although it slowly lost its activity. When the concentration of D-phenylglycine nitrile was increased to 100 mM in a batch reaction rapid decomposition of the substrate was observed and D-phenylglycine amide was obtained in only 37% yield. A fed-batch reaction afforded an improved yield, although the decomposition of the substrate could not be avoided completely. Lowering the temperature stabilised the substrate, and a fed-batch reaction at 5 degrees C resulted in a 96% yield of D-phenylglycine amide with 95% ee. A number of other whole-cell hydratase/amidase systems also hydrated D-1 in nearly quantitative yield and >91% ee, Moreover, the ee was further increased to <99% upon prolonged reaction times with minimal loss in yield due to the action of the L-specific amidase that is present in these biocatalysts.

With the advantage of the method using two immiscrible solvents and half - equivalent amount of the resolving agent, higher optical purity can be obtained than in cases of any other resolution via diastereoisomeric salt formation, besides it is a faster procedure for resolution of a new racemate as well.

enantioselectivity and activity. The effect of the addition of organic solvents to the biotransformation mixture was also determined. The results of the study suggested that SET1 is suitable for use in selected organo‐aqueous media at specific ratios only. The functional group tolerance of the isolate with unprotected and protected β‐aminonitriles, structural analogues of β‐hydroxynitriles was also investigated

addition of 5% water to the modifier dramatically improved the peak shape for chiral separation of primary amines on Crownpak® CR-I (+). The first reported preparative SFC separations on Crownpak® CR-I (+) are shown, offering a new approach for the preparative resolution of primary amines. The case studies demonstrate that Crownpak® CR-I (+) is a very useful column in the chiral separation of challenging compounds
