- Enzyme-Catalysed Synthesis of Cyclohex-2-en-1-one cis-Diols from Substituted Phenols, Anilines and Derived 4-Hydroxycyclohex-2-en-1-ones
-
Toluene dioxygenase-catalysed cis-dihydroxylations of substituted aniline and phenol substrates, with a Pseudomonas putida UV4 mutant strain and an Escherichia coli pCL-4t recombinant strain, yielded identical arene cis-dihydrodiols, which were isolated as the preferred cyclohex-2-en-1-one cis-diol tautomers. These cis-diol metabolites were predicted by preliminary molecular docking studies, of anilines and phenols, at the active site of toluene dioxygenase. Further biotransformations of cyclohex-2-en-1-one cis-diol and hydroquinone metabolites, using Pseudomonas putida UV4 whole cells, were found to yield 4-hydroxycyclohex-2-en-1-ones as a new type of phenol bioproduct. Multistep pathways, involving ene reductase- and carbonyl reductase-catalysed reactions, were proposed to account for the production of 4-hydroxycyclohex-2-en-1-one metabolites. Evidence for the phenol hydrate tautomers of 4-hydroxycyclohex-2-en-1-one metabolites was shown by formation of the corresponding trimethylsilyl ether derivatives. (Figure presented.).

- Dioxygenase-catalysed cis-dihydroxylation of meta-substituted phenols to yield cyclohexenone cis-diol and derived enantiopure cis-triol metabolites
-
cis-Dihydroxylation of meta-substituted phenol (m-phenol) substrates, to yield the corresponding cyclohexenone cis-diol metabolites, was catalysed by arene dioxygenases present in mutant and recombinant bacterial strains. The presence of cyclohexenone cis-diol metabolites and several of their cyclohexene and cyclohexane cis-triol derivatives was detected by LC-TOFMS analysis and confirmed by NMR spectroscopy. Structural and stereochemical analyses of chiral ketodiol bioproducts, was carried out using NMR and CD spectroscopy and stereochemical correlation methods. The formation of enantiopure cyclohexenone cis-diol metabolites is discussed in the context of postulated binding interactions of the m-phenol substrates at the active site of toluene dioxygenase (TDO).
