The industrial application of Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenases (BVMOs) is typically hindered by stability and cofactor regeneration considerations. The stability of biocatalysts can be improved by immobilization. The goal of this study was to evaluate the (co)-immobilization of a thermostable cyclohexanone monooxygenase from Thermocrispum municipale (TmCHMO) with a glucose dehydrogenase (GDH) from Thermoplasma acidophilum for NADPH cofactor regeneration. Both enzymes were immobilized on an amino-functionalized agarose-based support (MANA-agarose). They were applied to the oxidation of 3,3,5-trimethylcyclohexanone for the synthesis of ε-caprolactone derivatives which are precursors of polyesters. The performances of the immobilized biocatalysts were evaluated in reutilization reactions with as many as 15 cycles and compared to the corresponding soluble enzymes. Co-immobilization proved to provide the most efficient biocatalyst with an average conversion of 83% over 15 reutilization cycles leading to a 50-fold increase of the biocatalyst yield compared to the use of soluble enzymes which were applied in a fed-batch strategy. TmCHMO was immobilized for the first time in this work, with very good retention of the activity throughout reutilization cycles. This immobilized biocatalyst contributes to the application of BVMOs in up-scaled biooxidation processes.

Although Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenases (BVMOs) have gained attention in recent years, there are few cases of their upscaled application for lactone synthesis. A thermostable cyclohexanone monooxygenase from Thermocrispum municipale (TmCHMO) was applied to the oxidation of 3,3,5-trimethylcyclohexanone using a glucose dehydrogenase (GDH) for cofactor regeneration. The reaction progress was improved by optimizing the biocatalyst loading, with investigation into oxygen limitations. The product concentration and productivity were increased by keeping the substrate concentration below the inhibitory level via continuous substrate feeding (CSF). This substrate feeding strategy was evaluated against two biphasic reactions using either toluene or n-butyl acetate as immiscible organic solvents. A product concentration of 38 g L-1 and a space-time yield of 1.35 g L-1 h-1 were achieved during the gram-scale synthesis of the two regioisomeric lactones by applying the CSF strategy. These improvements contribute to the large-scale application of BVMOs in the synthesis of branched building blocks for polymer applications.

The ability of horse liver alcohol dehydrogenase (HLADH) to the enantioselective oxidation of primary-primary, primary-secondary and primary-tertiary aliphatic 1,5- and 1,6-diols 1a-i was studied. No enantioselectivity of the transformations of primary-primary 1,6-diols 1a-d to ε-lactones 4a-d was observed. Regioselective oxidation of primary-secondary 1,6-diols 1e,f and 1,5-diols 1h,i afforded enantiomerically enriched ε-lactones 4e,f and δ-lactones 4h,i. ε-Lactones 4e,f were formed with higher enantiomeric excesses (e.e. = 85-99%). Enzymatic oxidation of primary-tertiary 1,6-diol 1g did not give lactone product.
