Rationalisation of the stereochemical outcome of ene-reductase-mediated bioreduction of α,β-difunctionalised alkenes
摘要:
The OYE1-3-mediated reductions of some alpha,beta-difunctionalised alkenes, showing on the double bond a nitrile and ester group, are submitted to a careful stereochemical analysis, in order to identify which of the two electron-withdrawing groups (EWGs) is responsible for the activation of the C=C double bond towards reduction and for establishing hydrogen bond interactions within the binding pocket of the enzymes. The results show that for most of these substrates the activating EWG is the CN moiety linked to the prostereogenic olefinic carbon atom. The final stereochemical outcome can be explained through the empirical model which has been recently developed for difunctionalised alkenes activated by carbonyl/carboxyl containing EWGs.In a single case the activation is due to the COOR group linked to the less substituted olefinic carbon atom: an alternative empirical model is established for this kind of substrates, taking into consideration the OYE-catalysed reductions of beta,beta'-disubstituted-a-monofunctionalised alkenes.

nickel/Lewis acid (LA) cooperative catalysis to give beta-cyano-substituted acrylates and acrylamides, respectively, in highly stereoselective and regioselective manners. The resulting adducts serve as versatile synthetic building blocks through chemoselective transformations of the ester, amide, and cyano groups as demonstrated by the synthesis of typical structures of beta-cyano ester, beta-amino

To develop a nicotinamide‐independent single flavoenzyme system for the asymmetric bioreduction of CC bonds, four types of hydrogendonor, encompassing more than 50 candidates, were investigated. Six highly potent, cheap, and commercially available co‐substrates were identified that (under the optimized conditions) resulted in conversions and enantioselectivities comparable with, or even superior

Asymmetricbioreduction of an (E)‐β‐cyano‐2,4‐dienoic acid derivative by ene‐reductases allowed a shortened access to a precursor of pregabalin [(S)‐3‐(aminomethyl)‐5‐methylhexanoic acid] possessing the desired configuration in up to 94% conversion and >99% ee. Deuterium labelling studies showed that the nitrile moiety was the preferred activating/anchor group in the active site of the enzyme over

The asymmetric bioreduction of a library of beta-cyanoacrylate esters using ene-reductases was studied with the aim to provide a biocatalytic route to precursors for GABA analogues, such as pregabalin. The stereochemical outcome could be controlled by substrate-engineering through size-variation of the ester moiety and by employing stereochemically pure (E)- or (Z)-isomers, which allowed to access both enantiomers of each product in up to quantitative conversion in enantiomerically pure form. In addition, stereoselectivities and conversions could be improved by mutant variants of OPR1, and the utility of the system was demonstrated by preparative-scale applications.
