This paper describes a method for the racemization of unwanted (S)-1 isomer arising from the resolution of (±)-1. The process of racemization involves thiyl radical-mediated reversible hydrogen abstraction at the chiral center, in the presence of AIBN in water. The racemized isomer was subsequently resolved by l-(+)-tartaric acid to get (R)-1, a histamine H3 receptor pharmacophore. We foresee that such an approach of racemization will be industrially useful for recycling waste (S)-1 enantiomer.

Reducing reactions are among the most useful transformations for the generation of chiral compounds in the fine-chemical industry. Because of their exquisite selectivities, enzymatic approaches have emerged as the method of choice for the reduction of C=O

The diastereoselective acylation of a number of racemic methyl-substituted cyclic alkylamines with active esters of 2-phenoxypropanoic acid was studied in detail. The ester of (R)-2-phenoxypropanoic acid and N-hydroxysuccinimide was found to be the most selective agent. The highest stereoselectivity was observed in the kinetic resolution of racemic 2-methylpiperidine in toluene at -40 °C (selectivity factor s = 73) with the predominant formation of (R,R)-amide (93.7% de). To explain the observed stereoselectivity, DFT modelling of the transition states in the reactions of the title acylating agent with 2-methylpiperidine and 2-methylpyrrolidine was performed. The calculated values were in good agreement with experimental data. It has been demonstrated that the acylation proceeds via a concerted mechanism, in which the addition of an amine occurs simultaneously with the elimination of the hydroxysuccinimide fragment. The high stereoselectivity of the (R,R)-amide formation is largely ensured by the lower steric hindrances in the transition states as compared to the formation of (R,S)-amide.

The combination of biocatalysis and chemo-catalysis increasingly offers chemists access to more diverse chemical architectures. Here, we describe the combination of a toolbox of chiral-amine-producing biocatalysts with a Buchwald–Hartwig cross-coupling reaction, affording a variety of α-chiral aniline derivatives. The use of a surfactant allowed reactions to be performed sequentially in the same flask, preventing the palladium catalyst from being inhibited by the high concentrations of ammonia, salts, or buffers present in the aqueous media in most cases. The methodology was further extended by combining with a dual-enzyme biocatalytic hydrogen-borrowing cascade in one pot to allow for the conversion of a racemic alcohol to a chiral aniline.
Dihydrogen-Driven NADPH Recycling in Imine Reduction and P450-Catalyzed Oxidations Mediated by an Engineered O2-Tolerant Hydrogenase

The O2-tolerant NAD+-reducing hydrogenase (SH) from Ralstonia eutropha (Cupriavidus necator) has already been applied in vitro and in vivo for H2-driven NADH recycling in coupled enzymatic reactions with various NADH-dependent oxidoreductases. To expand the scope for application in NADPH-dependent biocatalysis, we introduced changes in the NAD+-binding pocket of the enzyme by rational mutagenesis, and generated a variant with significantly higher affinity for NADP+ than for the natural substrate NAD+, while retaining native O2-tolerance. The applicability of the SH variant in H2-driven NADPH supply was demonstrated by the full conversion of 2-methyl-1-pyrroline into a single enantiomer of 2-methylpyrrolidine catalysed by a stereoselective imine reductase. In an even more challenging reaction, the SH supported a cytochrome P450 monooxygenase for the oxidation of octane under safe H2/O2 mixtures. Thus, the re-designed SH represents a versatile platform for atom-efficient, H2-driven cofactor recycling in biotransformations involving NADPH-dependent oxidoreductases.
