The hydrogen phthalate of isopropylidene glycerol has been recently described as an efficient resolving agent of 1-arylethylamines. In order to gain more information on its versatility and to develop a rationale which accounts for its effectiveness, further 1-arylethylamines and other racemic amines were subjected to the same resolution process. A preliminary qualitative analysis of the results reported herein allows to identify some structural features of the aminic substrates conditioning the feasibility of the resolution.

Amine transaminases offer an environmentally benign chiral amine asymmetric synthesis route. However, their catalytic efficiency towards bulky chiral amine asymmetric synthesis is limited by the natural geometric structure of the small pocket, representing a great challenge for industrial applications. Here, we rationally engineered the large binding pocket of an (S)-selective ?-transaminase BPTA fromParaburkholderia phymatumto relieve the inherent restriction caused by the small pocket and efficiently transform the prochiral aryl alkyl ketone 1-propiophenone with a small substituent larger than the methyl group. Based on combined molecular docking and dynamic simulation analyses, we identified a non-classical substrate conformation, located in the active site with steric hindrance and undesired interactions, to be responsible for the low catalytic efficiency. By relieving the steric barrier with W82A, we improved the specific activity by 14-times compared to WT. A p-p stacking interaction was then introduced by M78F and I284F to strengthen the binding affinity with a large binding pocket to balance the undesired interactions generated by F44. T440Q further enhanced the substrate affinity by providing a more hydrophobic and flexible environment close to the active site entry. Finally, we constructed a quadruple variant M78F/W82A/I284F/T440Q to generate the most productive substrate conformation. The 1-propiophenone catalytic efficiency of the mutant was enhanced by more than 470-times in terms ofkcat/KM, and the conversion increased from 1.3 to 94.4% compared with that of WT, without any stereoselectivity loss (ee > 99.9%). Meanwhile, the obtained mutant also showed significant activity improvements towards various aryl alkyl ketones with a small substituent larger than the methyl group ranging between 104- and 230-fold, demonstrating great potential for the efficient synthesis of enantiopure aryl alkyl amines with steric hindrance in the small binding pocket.
Preparation of chiral primary amine through asymmetric reductive amination of simple ketone under catalytic action of ruthenium-diphosphine catalyst

Paragraph 0077-0079, (2019/07/04)
The invention relates to a method for preparing chiral primary amine. The method comprises the steps: performing a hydrogenation reductive amination reaction on simple ketone and an ammonium salt RCOONH4 under the action of a ruthenium-chiral diphosphine catalyst, then adding an acid, performing heating for hydrolysis, and adopting a one-pot method to prepare the chiral primary amine. The method has the advantages of good universality of the substrate, high reaction efficiency and the like.

The “smart” amine donors o-xylylenediamine and cadaverine were employed for the rapid screening of a large ketone library and subsequent preparative-scale synthesis of selected compounds using a commercially available amine transaminase, ATA256. The methodology enables both screening and preparative-scale biotransformations to be performed with a single enzyme and simplifies the generation of sp3-rich small-molecule libraries.
