Biocatalytic Racemization Employing TeSADH: Substrate Scope and Organic Solvent Compatibility for Dynamic Kinetic Resolution

Racemization in combination with a kinetic resolution is the base for a dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR). Biocatalytic racemization was successfully performed for a broad scope of sec-alcohols by employing a single alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) variant from Thermoanaerobacter pseudoethanolicus (formerly T. ethanolicus; TeSADH W110A I86A C295A). The catalyst employed as a lyophilized whole cell preparation or cell free extract, which tolerated various non-water miscible organic solvents under micro-aqueous or two-phase conditions, whereby cyclohexane and n-hexane suited best. Various concepts for combining the enzymatic racemization with an enzymatic kinetic resolution to achieve overall a bis-enzymatic DKR were evaluated. A proof of concept showed a successful DKR with racemization in aqueous phase combined with acylation in the organic phase.

Asymmetric transformation of enones with Synechococcus sp. PCC 7942

Asymmetric transformation of enones was investigated with cultured cells of Synechococcus sp. PCC 7942 (a cyanobacterium). The cells reduced both the endocyclic C-C double bond of s-trans enones and the exocyclic C-C double bond of s-cis enones with high enantioselectivity to afford optically active α-substituted (S)-ketones under illumination. In addition, the reduction of the double bond of these enones was accompanied by the formation of saturated alcohols. The cells preferentially reduced simple aliphatic ketones rather than cyclic ones to the corresponding (S)-alcohols with excellent enantioselectivity.
