(R)-1-Phenylethyl-benzylidene-amine (1) reacted with Pd(OAc)2 in acetic acid at 60 °C under nitrogen affording the acetato-bridged dinuclear endo five-membered ortho-cyclopalladated compound (μ-OAc)2[Pd(κ2-C,N-(R)-C6H4-CH{double bond, long}N-CHMe-Ph)]2 (2) in 65% yield. Compound 2 was converted by a metathesis reaction with LiCl into the corresponding chloro-bridged dinuclear cyclopalladated compound (μ-Cl)2[Pd(κ2-C,N-(R)-C6H4-CH{double bond, long}N-CHMe-Ph)]2 (3). 1H NMR of CDCl3 solutions of compounds 2 and 3 treated separately with py-d5, (R)-1-phenylethylamine and racemic 1-phenylethylamine were consistent with the endo cyclopalladated structure and the R absolute configuration of the chiral carbon atoms of compounds 2 and 3. Compounds 2 and 3 reacted with carbon monoxide in methanol affording, as major compounds, methyl 2-formylbenzoate (91% chemical yield) and the epimers of 3-methoxy-2-[(R)-1-phenylethyl]isoindolin-1-one (64% chemical yield) in ca. 20% diastereomeric excess, respectively. The trans isomer of compound 3 crystallized in the P21 monoclinic space group with a = 10.430(4) A?, b = 12.082(8) A?, c = 11.168(4) A? and β = 95.20(3)° and presented C-H?Cl intramolecular and C-H?Pd intermolecular non-conventional hydrogen bonds.

Enantiomeric analysis and empirical determination of the absolute configuration of amines and amino acids can be easily performed using acetyl-d(3) chloride as a nonchiral derivatizing agent (deuterium probe) and deuterium NMR in a chiral solvent (Courtieu's method). In the case of amino acids, derivatization to amido esters, performed with methanol-d(4) and acetyl-d(3) chloride, gives a double opportunity for enantiomeric analysis.

The assembly of cellulose-based artificial plant cell wall (APCW) structures that contain different types of catalysts is a powerful strategy for the development of cascade reactions. Here we disclose an APCW catalytic system containing a lipase enzyme and nanopalladium particles that transform a racemic amine into the corresponding enantiomerically pure amide in high yieldviaa dynamic kinetic resolution.

The l-lysine-?-dehydrogenase (LysEDH) from Geobacillus stearothermophilus naturally catalyzes the oxidative deamination of the ?-amino group of l-lysine. We previously engineered this enzyme to create amine dehydrogenase (AmDH) variants that possess a new hydrophobic cavity in their active site such that aromatic ketones can bind and be converted into α-chiral amines with excellent enantioselectivity. We also recently observed that LysEDH was capable of reducing aromatic aldehydes into primary alcohols. Herein, we harnessed the promiscuous alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) activity of LysEDH to create new variants that exhibited enhanced catalytic activity for the reduction of substituted benzaldehydes and arylaliphatic aldehydes to primary alcohols. Notably, these novel engineered dehydrogenases also catalyzed the reductive amination of a variety of aldehydes and ketones with excellent enantioselectivity, thus exhibiting a dual AmDH/ADH activity. We envisioned that the catalytic bi-functionality of these enzymes could be applied for the direct conversion of alcohols into amines. As a proof-of-principle, we performed an unprecedented one-pot “hydrogen-borrowing” cascade to convert benzyl alcohol to benzylamine using a single enzyme. Conducting the same biocatalytic cascade in the presence of cofactor recycling enzymes (i.e., NADH-oxidase and formate dehydrogenase) increased the reaction yields. In summary, this work provides the first examples of enzymes showing “alcohol aminase” activity.
