Two “classical” Old Yellow Enzymes from Chryseobacterium sp. CA49: Broad substrate specificity of Chr-OYE1 and limited activity of Chr-OYE2
摘要:
Two putative Old Yellow Enzyme (OYE) homologues, Chr-OYE1 and Chr-OYE2, were identified from the genome of Chryseobacterium sp. CA49 as new members of the "classical" subfamily. Chr-OYE1 and Chr-OYE2 were most closely related to the SYE4 from Shewanella oneidensis and NerA from Agrobacterium radiobacter with 41% and 45% identity, respectively. Both enzymes were expressed in Escherichia coli in soluble form, but their catalytic abilities as ene-reductases were quite different. Among the 19 substrate tested, Chr-OYE1 could catalyze the reduction of 18 of them including an ynone with excellent stereos electivity for several prochiral ones, and its specific activity was roughly 1100-fold high than Chr-OYE2, which only catalyzed 3 of the substrates. After restoring the conserved tyrosine, Chr-OYE2 remained the same substrate spectrum, but showed significantly enhanced activity and stereoselectivity. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

focuses on readily accessible thiourea hydrogen bond catalysts derived from amino acids, whose steric and electronic features are modulated by their degree of substitution at the carbinol carbon center. These catalysts were applied in the asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of nitroolefins furnishing the chiral products in up to 99% yield and 86% enantiomeric excess. The proposed catalyst's mode of action
Synthesis of Quaternary-Carbon-Containing β<sup>2,2</sup>-Amino Acids by the Rh<sup>I</sup>-Catalyzed Enantioselective Arylation of α-Substituted β-Nitroacrylates
An enantioselective RhI‐catalyzed conjugate addition reaction of α‐substituted β‐nitroacrylates with various arylboronic acids by using chiral RhI diene catalysts is described for the first time. The addition reaction proceeds under mild conditions in a range of common organic solvents and additives, and it affords the corresponding quaternary‐carbon‐containing α,α‐disubstituted β‐nitropropionate products

encompassing various nitroalkene classes; (ii) Hantzsch esters as convenient (on a preparative scale) hydrogen surrogates; (iii) a simple and commercially available thiourea as catalyst; (iv) user-friendly procedures. Overall, the proposed protocol gives a practical dimension to the catalyticenantioselective reduction of β,β-disubstituted nitroalkenes, offering a useful and general platform for the preparation
Asymmetric conjugate addition of arylboronic acids to 2-nitroacrylamide in the presence of cationic palladium-Chiraphos complex proceeds with high yield and enantioselectivity (73-89% ee) using as low as 0.05-0.25 mol % of the catalyst. The adducts can be smoothly transformed into the corresponding beta(2)-homophenylglycines in two simple steps. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
