Access to chiral amines with more than one stereocentre remains challenging, although an increasing number of methods are emerging. Here we developed a proof-of-concept bi-enzymatic cascade, consisting of an ene reductase and amine dehydrogenase (AmDH), to afford chiral diastereomerically enriched amines in one pot. The asymmetric reduction of unsaturated ketones and aldehydes by ene reductases from the Old Yellow Enzyme family (OYE) was adapted to reaction conditions for the reductive amination by amine dehydrogenases. By studying the substrate profiles of both reported biocatalysts, thirteen unsaturated carbonyl substrates were assayed against the best duo OYE/AmDH. Low (5 %) to high (97 %) conversion rates were obtained with enantiomeric and diastereomeric excess of up to 99 %. We expect our established bi-enzymatic cascade to allow access to chiral amines with both high enantiomeric and diastereomeric excess from varying alkene substrates depending on the combination of enzymes.

The direct conversion of ketones into chiral primary amines is a key transformation in chemistry. Here, we present a ruthenium catalyzed asymmetric reductive amination (ARA) of purely aliphatic ketones with good yields and moderate enantioselectivity: up to 99 percent yield and 74 percent ee. The strategy involves [Ru(PPh3)3H(CO)Cl] in combination with the ligand (S,S)-f-binaphane as the catalyst, NH4I as the amine source and H2 as the reductant. This is a straightforward and user-friendly process to access industrially relevant chiral aliphatic primary amines. Although the enantioselectivity with this approach is only moderate, to the extent of our knowledge, the maximum ee of 74 percent achieved with this system is the highest reported till now apart from enzyme catalysis for the direct transformation of ketones into chiral aliphatic primary amines.

A novel thermostable ω-transaminase from Thermomicrobium roseum which showed broad substrate specificity and high enantioselectivity was identified, expressed and biochemically characterized. The advantage of this enzyme to remove volatile inhibitory by-products was demonstrated by performing asymmetric synthesis and kinetic resolution at high temperature.
