Stereoselective, Biocatalytic Reductions of α-Chloro-β-keto Esters
摘要:
Eighteen known and putative reductases from baker's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) were tested for the ability to reduce a series of alpha-chloro-beta-keto esters. In nearly all cases, it was possible to produce at least two of the four possible alpha-chloro-beta-hydroxy ester diastereomers with high optical purities. The utility of this approach was demonstrated by reducing ethyl 2-chloroacetoacetate to the corresponding Syn-(2R,3S)-alcohol on a multigram scale using whole cells of an Escherichia coli strain overexpressing a single yeast reductase identified from the screening studies.

The substrate selectivity and stereoselectivity of a series of ketoreductases were evaluated toward the reduction of two sets of beta-ketoesters. Both the structural variety at beta-position and the substituent at alpha-position greatly affected the activity and stereoselectivity of these ketoreductases. For the first set of beta-ketoesters, at least one ketoreductase was found that catalyzed the formation of either (D) or (L) enantiomer of beta-hydroxyesters from each substrate with high optical purity, with the only exception of ethyl (D)-3-hydroxy3-phenylpropionate. For the second set of beta-ketoesters with alpha-substituents, the situation is more complex. More commonly, a ketoreductase was found that formed one of the four diastereomers in optically pure form, with only a few cases in which enzymes could be found that formed two or more of the diastereomers in high optical purity. The continued development of new, more diverse ketoreductases will create the capability to produce a wider range of single diastereomers of 2-substituted-3-hydroxy acids and their derivatives.

2-chloro-3-keto esters were quantitatively hydrogenated to syn and anti 2-chloro-3-hydroxyester by asymmetric hydrogenation with chiral ruthenium (Ii) catalysts prepared in-situ from (COD)Ru(2-Methylallyl)(2) in presence of atropisomeric ligands such as MeO-Biphep and Binap, giving enantioselectivity up to 99%. 2-chloro-3-hydroxy esters were treated with different bases to give (E)- and (Z)-2,3-epoxyalkanoates in 65-90% yields with 84-97% ee.

Clofibrate is a well-known peroxisome prolifierator-activated receptor-alpha (PPARalpha) agonist, used in the treatment of hyperlipaemias and atherosclerosis and to prevent heart failure. Herein, the preparation of the four enantiomerically pure stereoisomers of ethyl 2-(4-chlorophenoxy)-3-hydroxybutanoate as clofibrate analogues is described. Biological evaluation of these new compounds was performed by a transactivation assay in a transiently transfected monkey kidney fibroblast cell line. All four diastereomers were inactive even at 300 muM, where clofibrate showed an evident activity, suggesting that the designed clofibrate molecular structural modifications in the analogues caused the loss of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-alpha (PPARalpha) activity.

Several aliphatic or aromatic 2-chloro-3-oxoesters are stereoselectively reduced by yeast or fungal strains, affording in fair to good yield and high enantiomeric excess some of the respective 2-chloro-3-hydroxyester stereoisomers.

Baker's yeast treatment of ethyl 2-chloro-3-oxobutanoate 1, diethyl 2-acetylmalonate 2 and ethyl 2-cyano-3-oxobutanoate 3 was effected in order to obtain enantiomerically enriched compounds. In contrast to the reaction of 2 and 3, efficient diastereo- and enantioselective reduction of 1 provided ethyl 2(R)-chloro-3(S)-hydroxybutanoate. This product was used as precursor of the 1-ethoxycarbonyl-2(S)-hydroxypropyl
