- Characterization of two carbonyl reductases from Ogataea polymorpha NBRC 0799
-
The enzyme responsible for the enantioselective production of (S)-1,1,1-trifluoro-2-propanol ((S)-TFP) from 1,1,1-trifluoroacetone (TFA) has been identified in Ogataea polymorpha NBRC 0799. We purified two carbonyl reductases, OpCRD-A and OpCRD-B from this strain, and revealed their characteristics. Both enzymes were specific to NADH, but the following characteristics were different: The molecular mass of subunit OpCRD-A was 40?kDa and that of OpCRD-B was 43?kDa. Amino acid sequences of both enzymes were only 21% identical. OpCRD-B contained 4?mol of zinc per mole of enzyme, but OpCRD-A did not. The optimal pH, temperature, pH stability, thermostability, and inhibitor specificity were also remarkably different. With regard to substrate specificity, both enzymes exhibited high reductase activity toward a wide variety of ketones, aldehydes and fluoroketones, and dehydrogenase activity toward 2-propanol and 2-butanol. The reductase activity was much higher than the dehydrogenase activity at acidic pH. OpCRD-A enantioselectively produced (S)-TFP from TFA, but OpCRD-B preferentially produced (R)-TFP. Thus, we concluded that OpCRD-A plays the main role in the production of (S)-TFP by a reaction of O. polymorpha NBRC 0799 cells and that OpCRD-A has great potential for efficient production of (S)-TFP, as it is an S-specific enzyme and does not catalyze the dehydrogenation of (S)-TFP.

- The influence of fluorine on the asymmetric reduction of fluoromethyl ketones

A comparative study of the asymmetric reduction of representative aryl and alkyl α-fluoro- and α-chloromethyl ketones using (-)-diisopinocampheylchloroborane [(-)-DIP-Chloride] and (-)-B-isopinocampheyl-9-borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane [R-Alpine-Borane] has been made. It was observed that DIP-Chloride is superior in terms of the rate and enantioselectivity for both classes of halo-ketones. While the reduction of monofluoroacetone and trifluoroacetone with DIP-Chloride provided the product alcohols in 61% ee and 96% ee, respectively, the reduction of difluoroacetone yielded only 5% ee. The influence of a lone halogen atom was not observed for monochloroacetone, all of which point towards a chelating effect of monofluoroacetone on the Lewis acidic chloroborane.

Perfluorinated chiral alcohols are interesting building blocks for pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Different chiral (R)- and (S)-configured perfluorinated alcohols were produced by asymmetric reduction of the corresponding ketones. Commercially available alcohol dehydrogenases were used as catalyst in combination with different cofactor regenerating systems. High selectivities of >99% were observed in most cases. The results also demonstrate the influence of the CF3 group on reactivity and enantioselectivity of alcohol dehydrogenases.

-
The low reactivity of carboxylic esters toward (trifluoromethyl)trimethylsilane (TMS-CF3) was investigated. A universal cesium fluoride catalyzed procedure for nucleophilic trifluoromethylation was developed. At room temperature (25 °C, with catalytic amounts of cesium fluoride, carboxylic esters were found to react to give the silyl ether intermediates, which afforded the trifluoromethyl ketones after hydrolysis. Sulfonic, sulfinic, and selenic esters also show good reactivity, giving novel trifluoromethylated compounds. The trifluoromethylation method was also applied to aldehydes and ketones, which were transformed to trifluoromethyl silyl ether intermediates and afforded trifluoromethylated alcohols in excellent yields after acid hydrolysis. Ethylene glycol dimethyl ether was used as solvent for solid or high boiling substrates, and benzonitrile was used for the low boiling substrates.

-
An extremely efficient one-pot asymmetric synthesis of either enantiomer of (trifluoromethyl)oxirane (3,3,3-trifluoro-1,2-epoxypropane, 4) in 64percent yield and 96percent ee has been achieved via the asymmetric reduction of the commercially available 1-bromo-3,3,3-trifluoro-2-propanone with either (+)- or (-)-B-chlorodiisopinocampheylborane (Aldrich: DIP-Chloride), followed by ring closure of the intermediate chloroborinate, IpcBCl.The ring cleavage reactions of 4 provide a general synthesis of chiral trifluoromethyl carbinols without loss of optical activity.Thus we have synthesized 1-amino-3,3,3-trifluoro-2-propanol, 1-azido-3,3,3-trifluoro-2-propanol, 1-(diethylamino)-3,3,3-trifluoro-2-propanol, 1-cyano-3,3,3-trifluoro-2-propanol, 1,1,1-trifluoro-2-propanol, 1,1,1-trifluoro-2-octanol, 1-phenyl-3,3,3-trifluoro-2-propanol, 1-ethoxy-3,3,3-trifluoro-2-propanol, and 1,2-dihydroxy-3,3,3-trifluoropropane, in 61-88percent yields and in 96percent ee by the cleavage of 4 with the appropriate nucleophile.

- Chiral Synthesis Via Organoboranes. 38 Selective Reductions. 48. Asymmetric Reduction of Trifluoromethyl Ketones by B-Chlorodiisopinocampheylborane in High Enantiomeric Purity
-
(-)-B-Chlorodiisopinocampheylborane TM,1>, introduced by us several years ago, has been shown to reduce prochiral aryl and alkyl perfluorinated ketones to the corresponding optically active alcohols in very high ee.For example, 2,2,2-trifluoroacetophenone, trifluoroacetyl-1-naphthalene, and trifluoroacetyl-2-naphthalene are all reduced with 1 within 1-3 d at rt in 90percent ee, 78percent ee and 91percent ee, respectively.The optical purity of 1-phenyl-2,2,2-trifluoroethanol is upgraded to = 99percent ee by crystallizing the initially formed products from pentane. 1,1,2,2,2- pentafluoropropiophenone and 1,1,2,2,3,3,3-heptafluorobutyrophenone are reduced in 3 d with 1 to the corresponding alcohols in 92percent ee and 87 percent ee, respectively.The reagent reduces alkyl trifluoromethyl ketones at a rate faster than that of the aryl derivatives, while still providing the product alcohols in very high ee.Thus, 1,1,1-trifluoroacetone, 1,1,1-trifluorononan-2-one, and 1,1,1-trifluorodecan-2-one are all reduced within 4 - 8 h in 89percent ee, 92percent ee, and 91percent ee, respectively.Even α-sec-alkyl trifluoromethyl ketones are handled by 1 very efficiently.Thus cyclohexyl trifluoromethyl ketone is reduced by 1 at rt in 12 h to the product alcohol in 87percent ee.In all of these cases the trifluoromethyl group acts as the enantiocontrolling larger group as compared to the aryl or alkyl group.This produces alcohol products with stereochemistry opposite to those obtained for the corresponding hydrogen analogs.The steric and electronic influence of the trifluoromethyl group in achieving enantiocontrol in assymmetric reductions is discussed.Keywords: asymmetric reduction; trifluoromethyl ketones; DIP-Chloride; high enantiomeric purity
