Amine transaminases (ATAs) are versatile and industrially relevant biocatalysts that catalyze the transfer of an amine group from a donor to an acceptor molecule. Asymmetric synthesis from a prochiral ketone is the most preferred route to the desired amine product, as it is obtainable in a theoretical yield of 100 %. In addition to the requirement of active and enantioselective ATAs, the choice of a suitable amine donor is also important to save costs and to avoid additional enzymes to shift the equilibrium and/or to recycle the cofactors. In this work, we identified suitable (R)- and (S)-ATAs from Aspergillus fumigatus and Silicibacter pomeroyi, respectively, to afford a set of halogen-substituted derivatives of brominated or chlorinated 1-phenyl-2-propanamine, 4-phenylbutan-2-amine, and 1-(3-pyridinyl)ethanamine. Optimization of the donor–acceptor ratio enabled application of isopropylamine as an amine donor, which resulted in high conversions and amines with 73–99 % ee.

Amine dehydrogenases (AmDHs) are emerging as a class of attractive biocatalysts for synthesizing chiral amines via asymmetric reductive amination of ketones with inexpensive ammonia as an amino donor. However, the AmDHs developed to date exhibit limited substrate scope. Here, using directed evolution, we engineered a GkAmDH based on a thermostable phenylalanine dehydrogenase from Geobacillus kaustophilus. The newly developed AmDH is able to catalyze reductive amination of a diverse set of ketones and functionalized hydroxy ketones with ammonia or primary amines with up to >99% conversion, thus accessing structurally diverse chiral primary and secondary amines and chiral vicinal amino alcohols, with excellent enantioselectivity (up to >99% ee) and releasing water as the sole by-product.
Enzymatic enantiomeric resolution of phenylethylamines structurally related to amphetamine

Both enantiomers of several phenylethylamines, structurally related to amphetamine, have been prepared in good yields and excellent enantiomeric purity by enzymatic kinetic resolution using CAL-B and ethyl methoxyacetate as the acyl donor. In the case of the 4-hydroxyderivative of amphetamine (compound 4i), the S enantiomer racemized possibly in a dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR) under the enzymatic conditions used.
