- One-Pot Transformation of Ketoximes into Optically Active Alcohols and Amines by Sequential Action of Laccases and Ketoreductases or ω-Transaminases
-
An enzymatic one-pot process for asymmetric transformation of prochiral ketoximes into alcohols or amines was developed by sequential coupling of a laccase-catalyzed deoximation either with a ketone reduction (ketoreductase, KRED) or bioamination (ω-transaminase, ω-TA) in aqueous medium. An accurate selection of biocatalysts provided the corresponding products in excellent enantiomeric excesses and overall conversions ranging from 83 to >99 % for alcohols and 70 to >99 % for amines. Likewise, the employment of exclusively 1 % (w/w) of Cremophor, a polyethoxylated castor oil, as co-solvent enabled to reach concentrations up to 100 mM in the chiral alcohols cascade.

- Chemoenzymatic one-pot synthesis in an aqueous medium: combination of metal-catalysed allylic alcohol isomerisation-asymmetric bioamination
-
The ruthenium-catalysed isomerisation of allylic alcohols was coupled, for the first time, with asymmetric bioamination in a one-pot process in an aqueous medium. In the cases involving prochiral ketones, the ω-TA exhibited excellent enantioselectivity, identical to that observed in the single step. As a result, amines were obtained from allylic alcohols with high overall yields and excellent enantiomeric excesses.

- Efficient dual catalytic enantioselective diethylzinc addition to the exocyclic C{double bond, long}N double bond of some 1,2,4-N-triazinylarylimines using polymer-supported chiral β-amino alcohols derived from norephedrine
-
Chiral N,N-dialkylnorephedrines and their corresponding copolymers were evaluated as chiral ligands for the enantioselective diethylzinc addition to the exocyclic C{double bond, long}N double bond of some 4-arylideneamino-3-mercapto-6-methyl-4H-1,2,4-triazin-5-ones 2a-f. The use of a dual catalytic system (amino alcohol/halosilane) in the titled asymmetric reaction was examined. The enantioselective ethylation reaction has been successfully carried out in the heterogeneous system even at low temperature. The corresponding 4-(1-arylpropyl)amino-3-mercapto-6-methyl-4H-1,2,4-triazin-5-ones 4a-f were obtained in high yields with high enantioselectivities using chiral polymers (up to 91% ee), which are almost the same as those obtained from homogeneous analogues (up to 92% ee). The diethylzinc reagent neither opened the 1,2,4-triazinyl heterocyclic ring nor attacked the carbonyl or the thione groups of the 1,2,4-triazinyl heterocyclic ring and the addition reaction took place exclusively at the exocyclic electrophilic carbon atom yielding the C-ethylated products 4a-f. Reductive cleavage of the 1,2,4-triazinyl heterocyclic ring led smoothly to the corresponding primary aromatic amines 11a-f without significant loss of enantiomeric purity. A?suggestion about the possible transition state for the addition reaction is also presented.

- Enantioselective diethylzinc addition to the exocyclic C{double bond, long}N double bond of some 4-arylideneamino-3-mercapto-6-methyl-4H-1,2,4-triazin-5-one derivatives
-
4-Arylideneamino-3-mercapto-6-methyl-4H-1,2,4-triazin-5-ones 2a-f have been evaluated as substrates in the enantioselective diethylzinc addition reaction in the presence of (1S,2R)-N-alkyl-N-benzylnorephedrines 3a-d as chiral ligands. The utility of using a dual catalytic system (amino alcohol/halosilane) for the diethylzinc addition reaction has been also examined. The addition products 4-(1-arylpropyl)amino-3-mercapto-6-methyl-4H-1,2,4-triazin-5-ones 4a-f were obtained in high yields and with enantiomeric excesses of up to 92%. The treatment of arylimines 2a-f with a diethylzinc reagent did not affect the hetero-ring opening although the C{double bond, long}N double bond of the lateral chain did undergo an addition reaction to yield the C-ethylated products 4a-f. The reductive cleavage of the 1,2,4-triazinyl heterocyclic ring from addition products 4a-f led smoothly to the corresponding free primary amines 5a-f without a significant loss of enantiomeric purity.

- Enantioselective addition of diethylzinc to N-diphenylphosphinoylimines employing N,N-dialkyl-1,2-diphenyl-2-aminoethanols as chiral ligands
-
By fine-tuning the substituents on the nitrogen of (1S,2R) and (1R,2S)-1,2-diphenyl-2-aminoethanols, a chiral ligand 2b was obtained, which showed excellent enantioselectivity, with up to 94% e.e, for the asymmetric addition of diethylzinc to N-diphenylphosphinoylimines 1. In one example, the optically active amide 3c was converted into a new amine 5 with 98% e.e. by a reaction sequence involving Suzuki coupling and hydrolysis without racemization.
