- Simultaneous Preparation of (S)-2-Aminobutane and d -Alanine or d -Homoalanine via Biocatalytic Transamination at High Substrate Concentration
-
(S)-2-Aminobutane, d-alanine, and d-homoalanine are important intermediates for the production of various active pharmaceutical ingredients and food additives. The preparation of these small chiral amine or amino acids with high water solubility still demands searching for efficient methods. In this work, we identified an ω-transaminase (ω-TA) from Sinirhodobacter hungdaonensis (ShdTA) that catalyzed the kinetic resolution of racemic 2-aminobutane at a concentration of 800 mM using pyruvate as the amino acceptor, leading to the simultaneous isolation of enantiopure (S)-2-aminobutane and d-alanine in 46% and 90% yield, respectively. In addition, (S)-2-aminobutane (98% ee) and d-homoalanine (99% ee) were isolated in 45% and 93% yield, respectively, in the kinetic resolution of racemic 2-aminobutane at a concentration of 400 mM coupled with deamination of l-threonine by threonine deaminase. We thus developed a biocatalytic process for the practical synthesis of these valuable small chiral amine and d-amino acids.

- Synthesis of Chiral Amines via a Bi-Enzymatic Cascade Using an Ene-Reductase and Amine Dehydrogenase
-
Access to chiral amines with more than one stereocentre remains challenging, although an increasing number of methods are emerging. Here we developed a proof-of-concept bi-enzymatic cascade, consisting of an ene reductase and amine dehydrogenase (AmDH), to afford chiral diastereomerically enriched amines in one pot. The asymmetric reduction of unsaturated ketones and aldehydes by ene reductases from the Old Yellow Enzyme family (OYE) was adapted to reaction conditions for the reductive amination by amine dehydrogenases. By studying the substrate profiles of both reported biocatalysts, thirteen unsaturated carbonyl substrates were assayed against the best duo OYE/AmDH. Low (5 %) to high (97 %) conversion rates were obtained with enantiomeric and diastereomeric excess of up to 99 %. We expect our established bi-enzymatic cascade to allow access to chiral amines with both high enantiomeric and diastereomeric excess from varying alkene substrates depending on the combination of enzymes.

- Ruthenium Catalyzed Direct Asymmetric Reductive Amination of Simple Aliphatic Ketones Using Ammonium Iodide and Hydrogen
-
The direct conversion of ketones into chiral primary amines is a key transformation in chemistry. Here, we present a ruthenium catalyzed asymmetric reductive amination (ARA) of purely aliphatic ketones with good yields and moderate enantioselectivity: up to 99 percent yield and 74 percent ee. The strategy involves [Ru(PPh3)3H(CO)Cl] in combination with the ligand (S,S)-f-binaphane as the catalyst, NH4I as the amine source and H2 as the reductant. This is a straightforward and user-friendly process to access industrially relevant chiral aliphatic primary amines. Although the enantioselectivity with this approach is only moderate, to the extent of our knowledge, the maximum ee of 74 percent achieved with this system is the highest reported till now apart from enzyme catalysis for the direct transformation of ketones into chiral aliphatic primary amines.

- Deracemization of Racemic Amines to Enantiopure (R)- and (S)-amines by Biocatalytic Cascade Employing ω-Transaminase and Amine Dehydrogenase
-
A one-pot deracemization strategy for α-chiral amines is reported involving an enantioselective deamination to the corresponding ketone followed by a stereoselective amination by enantiocomplementary biocatalysts. Notably, this cascade employing a ω-transaminase and amine dehydrogenase enabled the access to both (R)-and (S)-amine products, just by controlling the directions of the reactions catalyzed by them. A wide range of (R)-and (S)-amines was obtained with excellent conversions (>80 %) and enantiomeric excess (>99 % ee). Finally, preparative scale syntheses led to obtain enantiopure (R)- and (S)-13 with the isolated yields of 53 and 75 %, respectively.

- Salts of (+)-deoxycholic acid with amines: Structure, thermal stability, kinetics of salt formation, decomposition and chiral resolution
-
(+)-Deoxycholic acid forms salts with 1-propylamine, di-n-butylamine, sec-butylamine and 3-methyl-2-butylamine. The salts were characterised using thermal analysis and single crystal X-ray diffraction. The chiral discrimination of (+)-deoxycholic acid for racemic sec-butylamine and racemic 3-methyl-2-butylamine was studied and correlated with the structural and thermal results. A mixture of (+)-deoxycholic acid and racemic sec-butylamine yielded crystals of (R)-2-butylammonium deoxycholate. (+)-Deoxycholic acid was exposed to vapours of propylamine and racemic sec-butylamine and the kinetics of absorption were determined. The kinetics of decomposition of powdered samples obtained from (+)-deoxycholic acid with di-n-butylamine and racemic sec-butylamine were investigated. Crystallisation of (+)-deoxycholic acid with racemic 3-methyl-2-butylamine resulted in crystals of (S)-3-methyl-2- butylammonium deoxycholate.

- The influence of conventional heating and microwave irradiation on the resolution of (RS)-sec-butylamine catalyzed by free or immobilized lipases
-
The lipases CAL-B, PSL, PSL-C, PSL-D, and A. niger lipase, free or immobilized in starch (obtained from two types of yam, known in Brazil as cara? (Discorea alata L.) and inhame (Colocasia esculenta (L.) Schott) or gelatin films, were used in the acylation of (RS)-sec-butylamine with different acyl donors in various organic solvents applying conventional heating (CH) or microwave (MW) irradiation. In the case of free A. niger lipase, the conversion degrees were three times higher using MW irradiation when compared to conventional heating at 35 °C. Using free A. niger lipase, the (R)-amide was obtained with a conversion degree of 21percent, resulting in eep > 99percent and E-value (enantioselectivity value) > 200, in 1 min of reaction under MW irradiation. When the A. niger lipase was immobilized in yam starch films, the (R)-amide was obtained in moderate conversions of 8-25percent after 3 or 5 min of reaction under MW irradiation, but with higher selectivity (eep > 99percent and E > 200) in comparison with the free form (conversion degree of 45percent, eep 81percent and E value of 18).

- Amination of ketones by employing two new (S)-selective ω-transaminases and the his-tagged ω-TA from Vibrio fluvialis
-
Two recently identified (S)-selective ω-transaminases (ω-TAs) that originate from Paracoccus denitrificans (Strep-PD-ωTA, cloned with an N-terminal Strep-tag II) and Pseudomonas fluorescens (PF-ωTA) were employed for the asymmetric amination of selected prochiral ketones. The substrates tested were transformed into optically pure amines (>99 % ee) with high conversion (up to >99 %). The ω-TAs led to higher conversion in the absence of dimethyl sulfoxide as a cosolvent than in its presence (15 %, v/v). Additionally, it was shown that a His-tagged recombinant transaminase from Vibrio fluvialis (His-VF-ωTA, cloned with an N-terminal His 6-tag) showed for a single substrate, ethyl acetoacetate, significantly higher stereoselectivity for the amination compared to the corresponding commercial enzyme preparation (>99 vs. 50 %). The (S)-selective ω-transaminases (ω-TAs) from Paracoccus denitrificans and Pseudomonas fluorescens transformed various ketones into optically pure amines (>99 % ee). These enzymes extend the substrate spectrum of highly (S)-stereoselective ω-TAs. Copyright

- Stereoselectivity of four (R)-selective transaminases for the asymmetric amination of ketones
-
Four (R)-ω-transaminases originating from Hyphomonas neptunium (HN-ωTA), Aspergillus terreus (AT-ωTA) and Arthrobacter sp. (ArR-ωTA), as well as an evolved transaminase (ArRmut11-ωTA) were successfully employed for the amination of prochiral ketones leading to optically pure (R)-amines. The first three transaminases displayed perfect stereoselectivity for the amination of all substrates tested (ee >99%). Furthermore, the transaminase AT-ωTA led in most cases to better conversion than ArR-ωTA and HN-ωTA using D-alanine as amine donor. α-Tetralone, which was the only substrate not accepted by HN-ωTA, ArR-ωTA, and AT-ωTA, was successfully transformed with perfect enantioselectivity (ee >99%) into the corresponding optically pure amine employing the variant ArRmut11-ωTA.

- Enzymatic racemization of amines catalyzed by enantiocomplementary ω-Transaminases
-
A strategy for the biocatalytic racemization of primary α-chiral amines was developed by employing a pair of stereocomplementary PLP-dependent ω-transaminases. The interconversion of amine enantiomers proceeded through reversible transamination by a prochiral ketone intermediate, either catalyzed by a pair of stereocomplementary ω-transaminases or by a single enzyme possessing low stereoselectivity. To tune the system, the type and concentration of a nonchiral amino acceptor proved to be crucial. Finally, racemization could be achieved by the cross-transamination of two different amines without a requirement for an external amino acceptor. Several synthetically and industrially important amines could be enzymatically racemized under mild reaction conditions. ω-Transaminases play ping-pong: A biocatalytic protocol for the 'clean' racemization of α-chiral prim-amines was developed by an equilibrium-controlled deamination/amination sequence catalyzed by a pair of (R)- and (S)-ω-transaminases (see scheme).

- Deracemisation of α-chiral primary amines by a one-pot, two-step cascade reaction catalysed by ω-transaminases
-
Racemic a-chiral primary amines were deracemised to optically pure amines in up to >99 % conversion and >99 % ee within 48 h. The deracemisation was a result of a stereoinver- sion of one amine enantiomer; the formal stereoinversion was achieved by a one-pot, two-step procedure: in the first step, kinetic resolution of the chiral racemic amine was performed by employing a -transaminase to yield an intermediate ketone and the remaining optically pure amine; in the second step, the ketone intermediate was stereoselectively transformed into the amine by employing alanine as the amine donor and a -transaminase displaying opposite stereopref- erence than the -transaminase in the first step. In the second step, lactate dehydrogenase was used to remove the side product pyruvate to shift the unfavourable reaction equilibrium to the product side. Depending on the order of the en- antiocomplementary enzymes employed in the cascade, the (R), as well as the (S), enantiomer was accessible.

- Asymmetric synthesis of optically pure pharmacologically relevant amines employing ω-transaminases
-
Various ω-transaminases were tested for the synthesis of enantiomerically pure amines from the corresponding ketones employing D- or L-alanine as amino donor and lactate dehydrogenase to remove the side-product pyruvate to shift the unfavourable reaction equilibrium to the product side. Both enantiomers, (R)- and (S)-amines, could be prepared with up to 99% ee and >99% conversions within 24 h at 50 mM substrate concentration. The activity and stereoselectivity of the amination reaction depended on the ω-transaminase and substrate employed; furthermore the co-solvent significantly influenced both the stereoselectivity and activity of the transaminases. Best results were obtained by employing ATA-117 to obtain the (R)-enantiomer and ATA-113 or ATA-103 to access the (S)-enantiomer with 15% v v-1 DMSO.

- Highly selective enzymatic kinetic resolution of primary amines at 80°C: A comparative study of carboxylic acids and their ethyl esters as acyl donors

(Chemical Equation Presented) Optimization of the kinetic resolution of 2-amino-4-phenyl-butane was achieved at 80°C using CAL-B-catalyzed aminolysis of carboxylic acids and their ethyl esters. The reactions carried out with long chain esters and the corresponding acids as acyl donors proceeded with remarkably high enantioselectivity. The use of carboxylic acids as acylating agents led to a marked acceleration of the reaction rate compared to their ester counterparts. Laurie acid led to enantiomeric excesses superior to 99.5% for both the remaining amine and the corresponding lauramide at 50% conversion (reached in 3 h). These optimized conditions were applied to the resolution of a series of aliphatic and benzylic amines.

(S)-sec-Butylamine of very high enantiomeric excess was obtained by C. antarctica lipase catalyzed acylation with ethyl decanoate in methyl t-butyl ether.

- Comparison of the ω-transaminases from different microorganisms and application to production of chiral amines
-
Microorganisms that are capable of (S)-enantioselective transamination of chiral amines were isolated from soil samples by selective enrichment using (S)-α-methylbenzylamine ((S)-α-MBA) as a sole nitrogen source. Among them, Klebsiella pneumoniae JS2F, Bacillus thuringiensis JS64, and Vibrio fluvialis JS17 showed good ω-transaminase (ω-TA) activities and the properties of the ω-TAs were investigated. The induction level of the enzyme was strongly dependent on the nitrogen source for the strains, except for V. fluvialis JS17. All the ω-TAs showed high enantioselectivity (E>50) toward (S)-α-MBA and broad amino donor specificities for arylic and aliphatic chiral amines. Besides pyruvate, aldehydes such as propionaldehyde and butyraldehyde showed good amino acceptor reactivities. All the ω-TAs showed substrate inhibition by (S)-α-MBA above 200 mM. Moreover, substrate inhibition by pyruvate above 10 mM was observed for ω-TA from V. fluvialis JS17. In the case of product inhibition, acetophenone showed much greater inhibitions than L-alanine for all ω-TAs. Comparison of the enzyme properties indicates that ω-transaminase from V. fluvialis JS17 is the best one for both kinetic resolution and asymmetric synthesis to produce enantiomerically pure chiral amines. Kinetic resolution of sec-butylamine (20 mM) was done under reduced pressure (150 Torr) to selectively remove an inhibitory product (2-butanone) using the enzyme from V. fluvialis JS17. Enantiomeric excess of (R)-sec-butylamine reached 94.7% after 12 h of reaction.
