Chemoenzymatic Dynamic Kinetic Asymmetric Transformations of β-Hydroxyketones

Herein we report on the development and application of chemoenzymatic Dynamic Kinetic Asymmetric Transformation (DYKAT) of α-substituted β-hydroxyketones (β-HKs), using Candida antartica lipase B (CALB) as transesterification catalyst and a ruthenium complex as epimerization catalyst. An operationally simple protocol allows for an efficient preparation of highly enantiomerically enriched α-substituted β-oxoacetates. The products were obtained in yields up to 95 % with good diastereomeric ratios.

Highly stereoselective reductions of α-alkyl-1,3-diketones and α-alkyl-β-keto esters catalyzed by isolated NADPH-dependent ketoreductases

(Chemical Equation Presented) The biocatalytic reduction of α-alkyl-1,3-diketones and α-alkyl-β-keto esters employing 1 of 20 different isolated NADPH-dependent ketoreductases proved to be a highly efficient method for the preparation of optically pure keto alcohols or hydroxy esters.
