A tandem and fully enzymatic procedure for the green resolution of chiral alcohols: acylation and deacylation in non-aqueous media
摘要:
A green and fully enzymatic procedure for the resolution of chiral alcohols through lipase/esterase-catalyzed acylation and subsequent lipase-catalyzed aminolysis using anhydrous ammonia was demonstrated. Both enantiomers can be obtained in high ee values (up to >99%) under ambient reaction conditions. The solvent and acyl donors can be recycled, and the enzyme can be reused for up to five times.

Escherichia coli BioH, which is obligatory for biotin synthesis, was found to be an organic solvent tolerant esterase with high enantioselectivity for the kinetic resolution of sec-alcohols using free enzyme powder. With this esterase, a variety of racemic sec-alcohols were efficiently resolved with ee values of up to 99%. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
Racemization of secondary alcohols catalyzed by ruthenium: application to chemoenzymatic dynamic resolution
In this paper, we have shown that the [RuCl2(p-cymene)](2) complex associated with simple hemisalen ligands is able to racemize (S)-1-phenylethanol. The influence on the racemization process of the ligand's structure as well as the nature of a co-catalyst have been evaluated and optimized. This [RuCl2(p-cymene)](2)/Ligand/TEMPO racemization system was then associated with the Candida Antarctica B lipase in order to carry out dynamic kinetic resolution experiments on rac-phenylethanol. This led us to identify the best conditions for effective DKR, which was then applied to various secondary benzylic and aliphatic alcohols. It was thus possible to obtain (R)-1-cyclohexylethyl acetate from rac-1-cyclohexylethanol in quantitative conversion and with high enantioselectivity (98%). (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
