Enzyme discovery for use in the manufacture of chemicals, requiring high stereoselectivities, continues to be an important avenue of research. Here, a sequence directed metagenomics approach is described to identify short chain carbonyl reductases. PCR from a metagenomic template generated 37 enzymes, with an average 25% sequence identity, twelve of which showed interesting activities in initial screens. Six of the most productive enzymes were then tested against a panel of 21 substrates, including bulkier substrates that have been noted as challenging in biocatalytic reductions. Two enzymes were selected for further studies with the Wieland Miescher ketone. Notably, enzyme SDR-17, when co-expressed with a co-factor recycling system produced the anti-(4aR,5S) isomer in excellent isolated yields of 89% and 99% e.e. These results demonstrate the viability of a sequence directed metagenomics approach for the identification of multiple homologous sequences with low similarity, that can yield highly stereoselective enzymes with applicability in industrial biocatalysis.

The invention discloses a synthesis method of N-ethoxycarbonyl-4-hydroxypiperidine and belongs to the technical field of organic chemistry. In the presence of a catalytic amount of ammonium chloride,4-hydroxypiperidine is added to hexamethyldisilazane for a reflux reaction, 4-trimethylsiloxypiperidine is obtained, an intermediate and diethyl carbonate are subjected to a sealed reaction at the high temperature, and N-ethoxycarbonyl-4-hydroxypiperidine is obtained. The method has the characteristics that raw materials are easy to obtain, the cost is low, factory operation is simple and convenient and the yield is high. In synthesis, highly toxic ethyl chloroformate is not used, and a method is provided for synthesis of the compound.

Two diastereoselective, scaleable routes towards trans-3,4-disubstituted piperidines with a 4-hydroxymethyl-3-hydroxy or 4-aminomethyl-3-hydroxy substitution pattern are being described. In the first route, the 3,4-trans configuration was introduced regio- and diastereoselectively via a hydroboration/oxidation sequence starting from 4-hydroxymethylpyridine. In the second route, regioselective epoxide ring opening of N-benzyl-3,4-epoxy-piperidine was achieved with LiCN, in situ generated from acetocyanohydrin and LiNH2. The regioselectivity of both the hydroboration and the epoxide ring opening was positively influenced by the presence of the basic piperidine nitrogen. Both routes have been optimized to be performed at large scale.
