- Biochemical and Structural Characterization of an (R)-Selective Transaminase in the Asymmetric Synthesis of Chiral Hydroxy Amines
-
An (R)-selective transaminase RbTA with excellent stereoselectivity (>99% ee) in the asymmetric amination of hydroxy ketones was identified. Biochemical characterization showed that RbTA exhibited the highest activity toward 4-hydroxy-2-butanone among reported enzymes, and that it has broad substrate specificity, including for aliphatic, aromatic, and alicyclic ketones. Crystallization of RbTA were performed, as were molecular docking and mutagenesis studies. Residue Tyr125 plays a key role in substrate recognition by forming a hydrogen bond with hydroxy ketone. The applicability of the enzyme was determined in preparative-scale synthesis of (R)-3-amino-1-butanol, demonstrating the potential of RbTA as a green biocatalyst for production of value-added chiral hydroxy amines. This study provides an efficient tool for enzymatic synthesis of chiral hydroxy amines, as well as structural insight into substrate recognition by transaminases in the asymmetric amination of hydroxy ketones.

- Efficient continuous kinetic resolution of racemic 2-aminobutanol over immobilized penicillin G acylase
-
In this paper, an efficient method was established for continuous kinetic resolution of racemic 2-aminobutanol by selective hydrolysis of N-phenylacetyl (±)-2-aminobutanol over immobilized penicillin G acylase (PGA) in a fixed-bed reactor. Several N-acylated derivatives of 2-aminobutanol were screened in batch experiments, and it was found that the hydrolysis of N-phenylacetyl (±)-2-aminobutanol proceeded smoothly in the presence of immobilized penicillin G acylase with satisfied enantioselectivity. Thus, the reaction parameters were optimized in a fixed-bed reactor. Under the optimized conditions, 39.3% conversion of N-phenylacetyl (±)-2-aminobutanol and 98.2% ee value of S-2-aminobutanol were obtained. This fixed-bed system was operated continuously for 40?h without significant decrease of enzyme activity. It has been demonstrated to be more efficient compared to the batch experiments.

- Design, Synthesis, Fungicidal Activity, and Unexpected Docking Model of the First Chiral Boscalid Analogues Containing Oxazolines
-
Chirality greatly influences the biological and pharmacological properties of a pesticide and will contribute to unnecessary environmental loading and undesired ecological impact. No structure and activity relationship (SAR) of enantiopure succinate dehydrogenase inhibitors (SDHIs) was documented during the structure optimization of boscalids. On the basis of commercial SDHIs, oxazoline natural products, and versatile oxazoline ligands in organic synthesis, the first effort was devoted to explore the chiral SDHIs and the preliminary mechanism thereof. Fine-tuning furnished chiral nicotinamides 4ag as a more promising fungicidal candidate against Rhizoctonia solani, Botrytis cinerea, and Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, with EC50 values of 0.58, 0.42, and 2.10 mg/L, respectively. In vivo bioassay and molecular docking were investigated to explore the potential in practical application and plausible novelty in action mechanism, respectively. The unexpected molecular docking model showed the different chiral effects on the binding site with the amino acid residues. This chiral nicotinamide also featured easy synthesis and cost-efficacy. It will provide a powerful complement to the commercial SDHI fungicides with the introduction of chirality.

- Preparation, characterization and performance evaluation of separation of alcohol using crosslinked membrane materials
-
In the present study the glutaraldehyde-crosslinked chitosan membrane (GXCM) was prepared and chiral resolution of (R,S)-2-amino-1-butanol (2A1B) was performed. The membrane was analyzed by Attenuated Total Reflectance Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) for its chemical composition. The morphology of the membrane was studied by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and correlated with membrane performance. The performance of the GXCM membrane was quantified by performing chiral resolution of (R,S)-2-amino-1-butanol in pressure driven separation and the influences of permeation parameters such as operating pressure, concentration of feed solutions, concentration of copper(ii) ions were investigated to understand the chiral selectivity of the membrane. The optical resolution of (R,S)-2-amino-1-butanol racemic mixture, 92% of enantiomeric excess (% ee) was achieved. The separation ability of the above crosslinked membrane was also investigated, and a separation factor of up to 5.6 was achieved.

- Synthesis of imidacloprid derivatives with a chiral alkylated imidazolidine ring and evaluation of their insecticidal activity and affinity to the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor
-
A series of imidacloprid (IMI) derivatives with an alkylated imidazolidine ring were asymmetrically synthesized to evaluate their insecticidal activity against adult female housefly, Musca domestica, and affinity to the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor of the flies. The bulkier the alkyl group, the lower was the receptor affinity, but the derivatives methylated and ethylated at the R-5-position of the imidazolidine ring were equipotent to the unsubstituted compound. Quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) analysis of the receptor affinity demonstrated that the introduction of a substituent into the imidazolidine ring was fundamentally disadvantageous, but the introduction of a substituent at the R-5-position was permissible in the case of its small size. The binding model of the synthesized derivatives with the receptor supported the QSAR analysis, indicating the existence of space for a short alkyl group around the R-5-position in the ligand-binding site. In addition, positive correlation was observed between the insecticidal activity and receptor affinity, suggesting that the receptor affinity was the primary factor in influencing the insecticidal activity even if the imidazolidine ring was modified.

- A mild and highly efficient synthesis of chiral N-dichloroacetyl-4-ethyl-1, 3-oxazolidines
-
Chiral 2-amino-butanols (4 and 5) were obtained via the isolation of diastereomeric salt. Then, chiral compounds (6-9) were synthesized by a sequential procedure involving condensation of chiral 2-amino-butanol with ketone and dichloroacetyl chloride. All the compounds were characterized by IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and element analysis. The absolute configurations of (S)-8 was determined by X-ray crystallography.

- Enantiopure cyclic O-substituted phenylphosphonothioic acid: Synthesis and chirality-recognition ability
-
As a new acidic selector (resolving agent), we synthesized an enantiopure O-alkyl phenylphosphonothioic acid with a seven-membered ring ((R)-5), which was designed on the basis of the results for the enantioseparation of 1-arylethylamine derivatives with acyclic O-ethyl phenylphosphonothioic acid (I). The phosphonothioic acid (R)-5 showed unique chirality-recognition ability in the enantioseparation of 1-naphthylethylamine derivatives, aliphatic secondary amines, and amino alcohols; the ability was complementary to that of I. The X-ray crystallographic analyses of the less- and more-soluble diastereomeric salts showed that hydrogen-bonding networks in the salt crystals are 21-column-type with a single exception which is cluster-type. In the cases of the 21-column-type crystals, stability of the crystals is firstly governed by hydrogen bonds to form a 21-column and secondly determined by intra-columnar T-shaped CH/π interaction(s), intra-columnar hydrogen bond(s), inter-columnar van der Waals interaction and/or inter-columnar T-shaped CH/π interaction(s). In contrast, the cluster-type salt crystal is stabilized by the assistance of inter-cluster T-shaped CH/π and van der Waals interactions. To realize still more numbers of intra- and inter-columnar and -cluster T-shaped CH/π interactions, the seven-membered ring of (R)-5 plays a considerable role. Copyright

- Direct Organocatalytic Asymmetric α-Chlorination of Aldehydes
-
The direct organocatalytic enantioselective α-chlorination of aldehydes has been developed. The reaction proceeds for a series of different aldehydes with NCS as the chlorine source using easily available catalysts such as L-proline amide and (2R,5R)-diphenylpyrrolidine. The α-chloro aldehydes are obtained in up to 99% yield and up to 95% ee. The synthetic utility of the enantioselective α-chlorination of aldehydes is demonstrated by transformation of the α-chloro aldehydes to the corresponding α-chloro alcohols (>90% yield) by standard reduction and further transformation to both a terminal epoxide and amino alcohol, both obtained without loss of optical purity. Oxidation of the α-chloro aldehydes followed by esterification gave optically active α-chloro esters without loss of optical purity. It is demonstrated that these optically active α-chloro esters can be converted into nonproteinogenic amino acids in overall high yields, maintaining the enantiomeric excess obtained in the catalytic enantioselective α-chlorination step.

- Lipase-Catalyzed Resolution of Chiral 2-Amino 1-Alcohols
-
Lipase-catalyzed resolution of 2-amino 1-alcohols was readily accomplished provided that the amino group was protected as an N-alkoxycarbonyl derivative.Racemic 2-amino-1-butanol and 2-amino-1-propanol were chosen as model compounds, and the resolution was achieved both by hydrolysis of their ester derivatives and by transesterification in ethyl acetate.In either case the (R) enantiomers reacted faster, and at low conversion, the (R) form in high optical purity was obtained as alcohol by hydrolysis and as acetate by transesterification.The two procedures can therefore be considered as complementary with respect to the final product composition.By using commercially available lipase preparations both (R)-(-) and (S)-(+) enantiomers of 2-amino 1-alcohols were isolated in high enantiomeric excesses (95percent).

-
N-[1-(Chloromethyl)propyl]acetamide, for the synthesis of ethambutol hydrochloride, d,d'-2,2'-(ethylenediimino)-di-1-butanol dihydrochloride, is produced in high purity and good yields by the reaction of butene-1, a nitrile, preferably an excess of acetonitrile, and chlorine to form N-[1-(chloromethyl)propyl]acetimidoyl chloride which is hydrolyzed to N-[1-(chloromethyl)propyl]acetamide. This may be hydrolyzed further to dl-2-amino-1-butanol, which can be isolated as the hydrochloride, or free base, or a mixture, resolved with L(+)-tartaric acid and the d-2-amino-1-butanol reacted with ethylene dichloride and then hydrochloric acid to form ethambutol hydrochloride.
