Here the synthetic utility of fluoroacetate dehalogenase RPA1163 is explored for the production of enantiomerically pure (R)-α-fluorocarboxylic acids and (R)-α-hydroxylcarboxylic acids via kinetic resolution of racemic α-fluorocarboxylic acids. While wild-type (WT) RPA1163 shows high thermostability and fairly wide substrate scope, many interesting yet poorly or moderately accepted substrates exist. In order to solve this problem and to develop upscaled production, in silico calculations and semirational mutagenesis were employed. Residue W185 was engineered to alanine, serine, threonine, or asparagine. The two best mutants, W185N and W185T, showed significantly improved performance in the reactions of these substrates, while in silico calculations shed light on the origin of these improvements. Finally, 10 α-fluorocarboxylic acids and 10 α-hydroxycarboxylic acids were prepared on a gram scale via kinetic resolution enabled by WT, W185T, or W185N. This work expands the biocatalytic toolbox and allows a deep insight into the fluoroacetate dehalogenase catalyzed C-F cleavage mechanism.

Enantiopure 2-hydroxy acids (2-HAs) are important intermediates for the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals. Deracemization of racemic 2-HAs into the corresponding single enantiomers represents an economical and highly efficient approach for synthesizing chiral 2-HAs in industry. In this work, a novel ketoacid reductase from Leuconostoc lactis (LlKAR) with higher activity and substrate tolerance towards aromatic α-ketoacids was discovered by genome mining, and then its enzymatic properties were characterized. Accordingly, an engineered Escherichia coli (HADH-LlKAR-GDH) co-expressing 2-hydroxyacid dehydrogenase, LlKAR, and glucose dehydrogenase was constructed for efficient deracemization of racemic 2-HAs. Most of the racemic 2-HAs were deracemized to their (R)-isomers at high yields and enantiomeric purity. In the case of racemic 2-chloromandelic acid, as much as 300 mM of substrate was completely transformed into the optically pure (R)-2-chloromandelic acid (> 99% enantiomeric excess) with a high productivity of 83.8 g L?1 day?1 without addition of exogenous cofactor, which make this novel whole-cell biocatalyst more promising and competitive in practical application.

Oxidase-catalyzed kinetic resolution is important for the production of enantiopure 2-hydroxycarboxylic acids (2-HAs), which are versatile building blocks for the synthesis of many significant compounds. However, in contrast to that of (R)-2-HAs, the production of (S)-2-HA is challenging because of the lack of related oxidases. Herein, suitable enzymes were screened systematically through the analysis of numerous putative d-lactate oxidase sequences and identification of several required properties. Finally, a d-lactate oxidase from Gluconobacter oxydans 621H with advantageous characteristics, such as good solubility, broad substrate spectrum, and high stereoselectivity, was selected to resolve 2-HAs into (S)-2-HAs. A variety of (S)-2-HAs was produced successfully using this d-lactate oxidase with excellent enantiomeric excess values (>99 %). The presented screening criteria and approach for target biocatalysis suggested a guideline for the production of optically active chemicals such as (S)-2-HAs.

By using lipase PS-30 as catalyst, the kinetic resolution of a series of racemic mandelate esters has been achieved via stereoselective acylation. The value of kinetic enantiomeric ratio (E) reached up to 197.5. Substituent effect is briefly discussed.

A facile and efficient one-pot, single-step method for deracemizing a broad range of 2-hydroxyacids to (R)-2-hydroxyacids was established by combination of resting cells of an (S)-hydroxyacid dehydrogenase-producing microorganism and an (R)-ketoacid reductase-producing microorganism.

Page 5, (2008/06/13)
The invention relates to a method for producing optically active cyanohydrins and the corresponding α-hydroxy-carboxylic acids, starting from an aldehyde, hydrogen cyanide and an optically active vanadyl-salen catalyst, whereby the reaction mixture is reacted at a temperature of between 0 and 60° C. Between 0.8 and 10 equivalents of hydrogen cyanide and between 0.0001 and 0.05 equivalents of vanadyl-salen catalyst in relation to the aldehyde, (concentration of between 0.5 and 4 mol/litre solvent), are preferably used. After said reaction the optically active cyanohydrin or after an acid hydrolysis the corresponding optically active α-hydroxycarboxylic acid can be isolated with a surplus of enantiomers. The vanadium catalyst used in the invention contains a salen ligand, whereby the ratio salen ligand: vanadium (IV) in the catalyst ranges between 1.4:1 and 10:1.
