β-Hydroxy-α-amino acids are noncanonical amino acids with two stereocenters and with useful applications in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical sectors. Here, a 5-methylidene-3,5-dihydro-4H-imidazol-4-one-dependent aminomutase from Taxus canadensis (TcPAM) was repurposed to transfer the amino group irreversibly from (2S)-styryl-α-alanine to exogenously supplied trans-3-phenylglycidate enantiomers, producing anti-phenylserines stereoselectively. TcPAM catalysis inverted the intrinsic regioselective chemistry from amination at Cβ to Cα of enantioenriched trans-3-phenylglycidates to make phenylserine predominantly (97%)phenylisoserine (~3% relative abundance). Gas chromatography?mass spectrometry analysis of the chiral auxiliary derivatives of the biocatalyzed products confirmed that the amine transfer was stereoselective for each glycidate enantiomer. TcPAM converted (2S,3R)-3-phenylglycidate to (2S)-anti-phenylserine predominantly (89%) and (2R,3S)-3-phenylglycidate to (2R)-anti-phenylserine (88%)their antipodes, with inversion of the configuration at Cα in each case. Both glycidate enantiomers formed a small amount (~10%) of syn-phenylserine by retaining the configuration at Cα. The minor syn-isomer likely came from a β-hydroxy oxiranone intermediate formed by intramolecular ring opening of the oxirane ring by the carboxylate before amine transfer. TcPAM had a slight preference toward (2S,3R)-3-phenylglycidate, which was turned(kcat = 0.3 min?1) 1.5 times faster than the (2R,3S)-glycidate (kcat = 0.2 min?1). The catalytic efficiencies (kcatapp/KMapp ≈ 20 M?1s?1) of TcPAM for the antipodes were similar. The kinetic data supported a two-substrate ping-pong mechanism for the amination of the phenylglycidates, with competitive inhibition at higher glycidate substrate concentrations.
Regio- and stereoselective methods for the conversion of (2S,3R)-β-phenylglycidic acid esters to taxoids and other enantiopure (2R,3S)-phenylisoserine esters

A novel efficient method was proposed for the synthesis of enantiopure precursors of taxane-containing cytostatics, i.e., methyl esters of (2R,3S)- and (2S,3R)-N-benzoylphenylisoserine and similar taxoid esters. The method is based on the regio- and stereoselective hydrobromolysis of the corresponding trans-β-phenyl glycidate enatiomers, consecutive reactions of O-acylcarbamoylation of the obtained 3-bromohydrins, intramolecular cyclization to 4-phenyloxazolidin-2-one-5-carboxylic acid derivatives, and oxazolidinone ring opening.
