We describe a simple and efficient enzymatic tandem reaction for the preparation of enantiomerically pure β-phenylalanine and its analogues from the corresponding racemates. In this process, phenylalanine aminomutase (PAM) catalyzes the stereoselective isomerization of (R)-β-phenylalanines to (S)-a-phenylalanines, which are in situ transformed to cinnamic acids by phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL). Preparative scale conversions are done with a mutated PAM with enhanced catalytic activity.

A recyclable glutamate amine donor system employing transaminase (TA), glutamate dehydrogenase (GluDH) and mutant formate dehydrogenase (FDHm) was developed, wherein amine donor Glu was regenerated using GluDH and thereby circumvented the inhibition of TA by α-ketoglutarate. Various enantiopure β-, γ-amino acids, and amines were successfully synthesized with high conversions and excellent enantiomeric excess using this system.

A nitrilase from Hoeflea phototrophica DFL-43 (HpN) demonstrating excellent catalytic activity towards benzoylacetonitrile was identified from a nitrilase tool-box, which was developed previously in our laboratory for (R)-o-chloromandelic acid synthesis from o-chloromandelonitrile. The HpN was overexpressed in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3), purified to homogeneity by nickel column affinity chromatography, and its biochemical properties were studied. The HpN was very stable at 30–40?°C, and highly active over a wide range of pH values (pH 6.0–10.0). In addition, the HpN could tolerate against several hydrophilic organic solvents. Steady-state kinetics indicated that HpN was highly active towards benzoylacetonitrile, giving a KM of 4.2?mM and a kcat of 170?s?1, the latter of which is ca. fivefold higher than the highest record reported so far. A cascade reaction for the synthesis of optically pure (S)-β-phenylalanine from benzoylacetonitrile was developed by coupling HpN with an ω-transaminase from Polaromonas sp. JS666 in toluene-water biphasic reaction system using β-alanine as an amino donor. Various (S)-β-amino acids could be produced from benzoylacetonitrile derivatives with moderate to high conversions (73–99%) and excellent enantioselectivity (> 99% ee). These results are significantly advantageous over previous studies, indicating a great potential of this cascade reaction for the practical synthesis of (S)-β-phenylalanine in the future.

This study developed a simple, efficient method for producing racemic β-phenylalanine acid (BPA) and its derivatives via the enantioselective acylation catalyzed by the penicillin G acylase from Alcaligenes faecalis (Af-PGA). When the reaction was run at 25°C and pH 10 in an aqueous medium containing phenylacetamide and BPA in a molar ratio of 2:1, 8 U/mL enzyme and 0.1 M BPA, the maximum BPA conversion efficiency at 40 min only reached 36.1%, which, however, increased to 42.9% as the pH value and the molar ratio of phenylacetamide to BPA were elevated to 11 and 3:1, respectively. Under the relatively optimum reaction conditions, the maximum conversion efficiencies of BPA derivatives all reached about 50% in a relatively short reaction time (45-90 min). The enantiomeric excess value of product (eep) and enantiomeric excess value of substrate (ees) were all above 98% and 95%, respectively. These results suggest that the method established in this study is practical, effective, and environmentally benign and may be applied to industrial production of enantiomerically pure BPA and its derivatives.
Stereoselective chemoenzymatic preparation of β-amino esters: Molecular modelling considerations in lipase-mediated processes and application to the synthesis of (S)-dapoxetine

A wide range of optically active 3-amino-3-arylpropanoic acid derivatives have been prepared by means of a stereoselective chemoenzymatic route. The key step is the kinetic resolution of the corresponding β-amino esters. Although the enzymatic acylations of the amino group with ethyl methoxyacetate showed synthetically useful enantioselectivities, the hydrolyses of the ester group catalyzed by lipase from Pseudomonas cepacia have been identified as the optimal processes concerning both activity and enantioselectivity. The enantiopreference of this lipase in these reactions has been explained, at the molecular level, by using a fragment-based approach in which the most favoured binding site for a phenyl ring and the most stable conformation of the 3-aminopropanoate core nicely match the (S)-configuration of the major products. The conversion and enantioselectivity values of the enzymatic reactions have been compared in order to understand the influence of the different substitution patterns present in the phenyl ring. This chemoenzymatic route has been successfully applied to the preparation of a valuable intermediate in the synthesis of (S)-dapoxetine, which has been chemically synthesised in excellent optical purity.

The parallel asymmetric synthesis of an array of 30 β-amino acids of high enantiomeric purity using the conjugate addition of homochiral lithium N-benzyl-N-(α-methylbenzyl)amide as the key step is accomplished. The experimental simplicity and highly practical nature of the protocol is demonstrated by the efficient parallel conversion of 15 α,β-unsaturated esters to both enantiomeric series of the corresponding β-amino acids in high overall yields and selectivities with minimal purification involved in each step of the reaction protocol.

Secondary homochiral lithium amides derived from α-methylbenzylamine undergo highly diastereoselective conjugate additions to a range of α,β-unsaturated esters. The corresponding β-amino acids are readily liberated by successive N-debenzylation and ester hydrolysis, furnishing (R)-β-amino butyric acid, (R)-β-amino pentanoic acid, (S)-β-leucine, (R)-β-amino octanoic acid, (S)-β-phenylalanine, (S)-β-tyrosine methyl ether, (S)-β-tyrosine hydrochloride and (S)-β-(2-methoxyphenyl)-β-amino propanoic acid in high yields and high ee. The application of this procedure to the synthesis of the natural products (R)-β-DOPA and (R)-β-lysine is demonstrated. The development of a simplified one-pot reaction protocol applicable to the multi-gram scale synthesis of homochiral β-amino esters is also delineated.

The first aminoacylase-catalyzed enantioselective synthesis of aromatic β-amino acids is reported. The presence of an N-chloroacetyl group as acyl group in the substrate as well as the use of porcine kidney acylase I as a suitable enzyme component are prerequisites for this resolution process whereby optically active β-amino acids are formed with high enantioselectivlties of >98% ee.

β-Aryl-β-amino acids were prepared in good chemical yield and high enantiomeric purity (> 95% ee) via penicillin acylase-catalyzed hydrolysis of the corresponding N-phenylacetyl derivatives. The (R)-enantiomers were the fast-reacting isomers in all cases studied. The biocatalytic procedure described employs a very simple set of reactions using inexpensive commercially available chemicals and enzyme, and could be easily scaled up.
