ortho‐substituted phenyl glycidyl ethers and para‐nitrostyrene oxide. Worthy of note is that the substrate structure remarkably affected the enantioselectivities of the enzyme, as a reversed (S)‐enantiopreference was unexpectedly observed for the ortho‐nitrophenyl glycidyl ether. As a proof‐of‐concept, five enantiopure epoxides (>99% ee) were obtained in high yields, and a gram‐scale preparation of
从巨大芽孢杆菌ECU1001中克隆了一种新的环氧水解酶(BMEH),该酶具有异常的(R)-对映体选择性和很高的活性。在对位取代的苯基缩水甘油醚和对硝基苯乙烯氧化物的生物拆分中,实现了最高的对映选择性(E > 200)。值得一提的是,底物结构显着影响了酶的对映选择性,因为人们意外地观察到邻硝基硝基苯缩水甘油醚的反向(S)-对映体选择性。作为概念验证,以高收率获得了五种对映纯环氧化合物(> 99%ee),并以克级制备了(S) -邻甲基苯基缩水甘油基醚,然后成功地在几个小时内完成,这表明BMEH为光学活性的环氧化物的高效制备有吸引力的生物催化剂。
