- Enzyme Catalysis in Uni- and Bi-continous Microemulsions: Dependence of Kinetics on Substrate Partitioning
-
The kinetics of enzymatic conversion in a microemulsion have been investigated.Racemic 3-methylcyclohexanone was oxidized by hors-liver alcohol dehydrogenase (HLADH, E.C. 1.1.1.1.) using a coupled substrate-coenzyme regenerating cycle in a sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl) sulphosuccinate (AOT)-isooctane-buffer microemulsion.Initial enzyme activity was measured as a function of the oil volume fraction in the range 0 /= Φ /= 0.83 for a constant surfactant concentration.The change in composition is followed by a change in microstructure from oil-in-water (O/W) to water-in-oil (W/O) via a bicontinuous structure as determined by self diffusion measurements using the pulsed-gradient NMR technique.The variation of the initial rate with composition is well described by modifying the rate equation, valid in pure buffer, by simply taking into account the partitioning of the substrates between the polar and apolar microdomains in the structured solvent.Also the enzyme stability was investigated at various compositions of the microemulsion.The stability was found to increase with increasing Φ.

- Expedient Synthesis of Bridged Bicyclic Nitrogen Scaffolds via Orthogonal Tandem Catalysis
-
Bridged nitrogen bicyclic skeletons have been accessed via unprecedented site- and diastereoselective orthogonal tandem catalysis from readily accessible reactants in a step economic manner. Directed Pd-catalyzed γ-C(sp3)-H olefination of aminocyclohexane with gem-dibromoalkenes, followed by a consecutive intramolecular Cu-catalyzed amidation of the 1-bromo-1-alkenylated product delivers the interesting normorphan skeleton. The tandem protocol can be applied on substituted aminocyclohexanes and aminoheterocycles, easily providing access to the corresponding substituted, aza- and oxa-analogues. The Cu catalyst of the Ullmann-Goldberg reaction additionally avoids off-cycle Pd catalyst scavenging by alkenylated reaction product. The picolinamide directing group stabilizes the enamine of the 7-alkylidenenormorphan, allowing further product post functionalizations. Without Cu catalyst, regio- and diastereoselective Pd-catalyzed γ-C(sp3)-H olefination is achieved.

- A Practical and Stereoselective In Situ NHC-Cobalt Catalytic System for Hydrogenation of Ketones and Aldehydes
-
Homogeneous catalytic hydrogenation of carbonyl groups is a synthetically useful and widely applied organic transformation. Sustainable chemistry goals require replacing conventional noble transition metal catalysts for hydrogenation by earth-abundant base metals. Herein, we report how a practical in situ catalytic system generated by easily available pincer NHC precursors, CoCl2, and a base enabled efficient and high-yielding hydrogenation of a broad range of ketones and aldehydes (over 50 examples and a maximum turnover number [TON] of 2,610). This is the first example of NHC-Co-catalyzed hydrogenation of C=O bonds using flexible pincer NHC ligands consisting of a N-H substructure. Diastereodivergent hydrogenation of substituted cyclohexanone derivatives was also realized by fine-tuning of the steric bulk of pincer NHC ligands. Additionally, a bis(NHCs)-Co complex was successfully isolated and fully characterized, and it exhibits excellent catalytic activity that equals that of the in-situ-formed catalytic system. Catalytic hydrogenation is a powerful tool for the reduction of organic compounds in both fine and bulk chemical industries. To improve sustainability, more ecofriendly, inexpensive, and earth-abundant base metals should be employed to replace the precious metals that currently dominate the development of hydrogenation catalysts. However, the majority of the base-metal catalysts that have been reported involve expensive, complex, and often air- and moisture-sensitive phosphine ligands, impeding their widespread application. From a mixture of the stable CoCl2, imidazole salts, and a base, our newly developed catalytic system that formed easily in situ enables efficient and stereoselective hydrogenation of C=O bonds. We anticipate that this easily accessible catalytic system will create opportunities for the design of practical base-metal hydrogenation catalysts. A practical in situ catalytic system generated by a mixture of easily available pincer NHC precursors, CoCl2, and a base enabled highly efficient hydrogenation of a broad range of ketones and aldehydes (over 50 examples and up to a turnover number [TON] of 2,610). Diastereodivergent hydrogenation of substituted cyclohexanone derivatives was also realized in high selectivities. Moreover, the preparation of a well-defined bis(NHCs)-Co complex via this pincer NHC ligand consisting of a N-H substructure was successful, and it exhibits equally excellent catalytic activity for the hydrogenation of C=O bonds.

- Chemo-Enzymatic Oxidative Rearrangement of Tertiary Allylic Alcohols: Synthetic Application and Integration into a Cascade Process
-
A chemo-enzymatic catalytic system, comprised of Bobbitt's salt and laccase from Trametes versicolor, allowed the [1,3]-oxidative rearrangement of endocyclic allylic tertiary alcohols into the corresponding enones under an Oxygen atmosphere in aqueous media. The yields were in most cases quantitative, especially for the cyclopent-2-en-1-ol or the cyclohex-2-en-1-ol substrates without an electron withdrawing group (EWG) on the side chain. Transpositions of macrocyclic alkenols or tertiary alcohols bearing an EWG on the side chain were instead carried out in acetonitrile by using an immobilized laccase preparation. Dehydro-Jasmone, dehydro-Hedione, dehydro-Muscone and other fragrance precursors were directly prepared with this procedure, while a synthetic route was developed to easily transform a cyclopentenone derivative into trans-Magnolione and dehydro-Magnolione. The rearrangement of exocyclic allylic alcohols was tested as well, and a dynamic kinetic resolution was observed: α,β-unsaturated ketones with (E)-configuration and a high diastereomeric excess were synthesized. Finally, the 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-1-piperidinium tetrafluoroborate (TEMPO+BF4?)/laccase catalysed oxidative rearrangement was combined with the ene-reductase/alcohol dehydrogenase cascade process in a one-pot three-step synthesis of cis or trans 3-methylcyclohexan-1-ol, in both cases with a high optical purity.

- P-Tolylimido rhenium(v) complexes with phenolate-based ligands: Synthesis, X-ray studies and catalytic activity in oxidation with tert-butylhydroperoxide
-
The reactions of mer-[Re(p-NTol)X3(PPh3)2] (X = Cl, Br) with chelating phenolate-based ligands (2-(2-hydroxy-5-methylphenyl)benzotriazole (HL1), 2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)benzothiazole (HL2) or 2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)benzoxazole (HL3)) afforded a series of p-tolylimido rhenium(v) complexes cis- or trans-(X,X)-[Re(p-NTol)X2(L)(PPh3)]·yMeCN (where X = Cl, Br; L = L1, L2, L3 and y = 0-2) and [Re(p-NTol)X(L)(PPh3)2]Z·pPPh3 (where X = Cl, Br; Z = ReO4, PF6; L = L1, L2, L3 and p = 0 or 1). The reported compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR, NMR (1H, 13C and 31P) and X-ray crystallography. Interestingly, the halide ions of [Re(p-NTol)Cl2(L1)(PPh3)]·MeCN (1) and [Re(p-NTol)Cl2(L2)(PPh3)]·2MeCN (3) are in cis relative dispositions, whereas the complexes [Re(p-NTol)Br2(L)(PPh3)] (L1 for 2, L2 for 4 and L3 for 6) and [Re(p-NTol)Cl2(L3)(PPh3)] (5) were found to be trans-(X,X) isomers. The compounds [Re(p-NTol)X(L)(PPh3)2](PF6) (X = Cl, Br; L = L1 and L2) and [Re(p-NTol)X(L3)(PPh3)2](PF6)·PPh3 (X = Cl, Br) have been tested in oxidative catalysis. A few compounds exhibited very good catalytic properties in oxidation of alcohols with tert-BuOOH (TBHP) in acetonitrile solution at moderate temperatures. Complex [Re(p-NTol)Cl(L2)(PPh3)2]PF6 (13) is the catalyst of choice for oxidation of 1-phenylethanol to acetophenone (in 80% yield; turnover number attained 290 after 30 h) and cyclooctanol to cyclooctanone (in 88% yield). Notably lower activity has been found in the oxidation of alkanes with TBHP. Product distribution in the oxidation of methylcyclohexane indicates some steric hindrance around the reaction center.

-
Reducing hazards: A asymmetric transfer hydrogen reaction was developed to reduce prochiral allylic alcohols in high yield and excellent enantioselectivity (see example). Mechanistic studies indicate a novel enantioselective isomerization/transfer hydrogenation mechanism. This new reaction is much safer than high-pressure hydrogenation using H2 gas. Copyright

- Miniaturizing biocatalysis: Enzyme-catalyzed reactions in an aqueous/organic segmented flow capillary microreactor
-
A segmented flow capillary microreactor was used to perform the enzyme-catalyzed conversion of 1-heptaldehyde to 1-heptanol in a two liquid-liquid phase system. These reactor formats are established for chemical reactions but so far data describing the relevant system parameters for enzymatic catalysis are lacking. This work now addresses the impact of important parameters such as capillary diameter, flow velocity, phase ratio, and enzyme as well as substrate concentration on the performance of the enzymatic reaction under segmented flow conditions. All key parameters governing reaction performance have been correlated in a novel operational window for an easy assessment of the various system constraints. Such systems are characterized by high productivities and easy phase separation facilitating downstream processing. This work underscores the importance of segmented flow systems as a promising tool to perform multiphasic enzymatic catalysis.

- Coupled chemoenzymatic transfer hydrogenation catalysis for enantioselective reduction and oxidation reactions
-
Stereoselective reductions of prochiral ketones were performed using a new thermophilic, NAD-dependent alcohol dehydrogenase from Thermus sp. (TADH). The enzyme was produced on 2L-scale from recombinant Escherichia coli and purified by a simple, one-step heat treatment procedure yielding 220 mg of pure enzyme. Regeneration of NADH was catalyzed by the organometallic complex [Cp*Rh(bpy)(H2O)]2+ using formate as a reducing agent. The catalytic performance of [Cp*Rh(bpy)(H2O)] 2+ in terms of total number of catalytic cycles and number of catalytic cycles per hour achieved herein (up to 1500 and more than 400 h -1, respectively), are the highest reported for a non-enzymatic nicotinamide regeneration system so far. Chemoenzymatic reduction reactions in a two liquid phase setup were performed on a gramme-scale, for example, 1.3 g of enantiopure (1S,3S)-3-methylcyclohexanol was obtained after purification. The volumetric productivity reached up to 3.9 mM h-1 with an average of 2.6 mM h-1 (5.3 g L-1 d-1) over 10 h. In addition, chemoenzymatic oxidations utilizing the same catalyst set and molecular oxygen as a terminal electron acceptor were performed. Thus, the preparative value of chemoenzymatic transfer hydrogenations with [Cp*Rh(bpy)(H2O)]2+ as a regeneration catalyst coupled especially to thermophilic ADHs was demonstrated.

- Trifluoromethyl vs. methyl ability to direct enantioselection in microbial reduction of carbonyl substrates
-
The stereoselective reduction of 3-trifluoromethylcyclohexanone (1a), (E)-1.1.1-(trifluoro-4-phenyl-3-buten-2-one (3a), and their unfluorinated analogues 1b and 3b has been performed with some growing microorganisms. Differences in the electronic and steric properties of the trifluoromethyl and methyl residues result in different chemo- and stereoselectivities in the microbial reduction of phenylbutenones 3a and 3b while cyclohexanones 1a and 1b showed strictly similar stereoselectivities. A new protocol based oil 13C NMR spectra of 2-phenylpropionic acid esters]has been used to assign the absolute configuration of the obtained secondary alcohols.

- Use of Shift Reagent with MTPA Derivatives in 19F NMR Spectroscopy IV - Determination of Enantiomeric Composition for a Variety of Secondary Cycloalkanols. A Survey

Chiral secondary cycloalkanols (monpocyclic alcohols) are derivatized to the corresponding (R)-α-methoxy-α-trifluoromethyl-α-phenylacetic acid esters and analysed by 19F NMR in the presence of tris(6,6,7,7,8,8,8-heptafluoro-2,2-dimethyl-3,5-octanedionato)europium(III) .Using this method the enantiomeric composition can be measured for severak cyclopentanols, cyclohexanols and cycloheptanols, with a variety of substitution patterns.It is shown that a mixture of four stereoisomeric cycloalkanols, such as cis and trans disubstituted alcohols, can be analysed simultaneously.

- ENZYMATIC "IN VITRO" REDUCTION OF KETONES. VI.(1) Reduction rates and stereochemistry of the HLAD-catalyzed reduction of 3-alkyl- and 4-alkylcyclohexanones.
-
Reaction rate constants for the catalytic step HLAD-NADH + ketone * HLAD-NAD+ + alcohol in the HLAD-catalyzed reduction of 3-alkyl- and 4-alkylcyclohexanones are determined from initial rate measurements in the coenzyme recycling system ketone-ethanol-NAD+-HLAD.By rate measurements at several temperatures, activation parameters were determined and isokinetic relationships tracked down.Two different isokinetic relationships show that the 3-alkylcyclohexanones pass through an other type of transition state than cyclohexanone and the 4-alkylcyclohexanones, which means that they have a different arrangement on the HLAD-NADH complex.The results are rationalized in view of the most recent principles on nucleophilic additions to carbonyl functions.The resulting model for the HLAD-catalyzed reduction adequately explains the observed rate accelerating and decelerating effects and the stereochemistry of the reduction as well.
