CONTINUOUS FLOW PROCESS AND APPARATUS FOR MANUFACTURE OF DL-2-NITRO-1-BUTANOL
-
Paragraph 0035-0040, (2021/02/12)
A continuous process(200) for manufacture of dl-2-nitro-1-butanol from 1-nitropropane is disclosed. The process mixes aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide (A) and a solution of 1-nitropropane (B) dissolved in alcohol(203) at a first molar ratio in a first tubular reactor to form a mixture. The mixture is pumped(205) with an aqueous solution of formaldehyde at a second predetermined molar ratio to a second tubular reactor for a second residence time to form a product stream. The product stream is quenched(207) in glacial acetic acid to obtain quench liquor having dl-2-nitro-1-butanol. The first(130) and the second(150) tubular reactors are maintained at a temperature of 35° C or less. The method produces conversion of at least 89% dl-2-nitro-1-butanol with residence time of 30 minutes or less. Apparatus for continuous production of dl-2-nitro-1-butanol from 1-nitropropane is further disclosed. A method of obtaining dl-2-amino-1-butanol by hydrogenation of the dl-2-nitro-1-butanol is further disclosed.

Amine dehydrogenases (AmDHs) are emerging as a class of attractive biocatalysts for synthesizing chiral amines via asymmetric reductive amination of ketones with inexpensive ammonia as an amino donor. However, the AmDHs developed to date exhibit limited substrate scope. Here, using directed evolution, we engineered a GkAmDH based on a thermostable phenylalanine dehydrogenase from Geobacillus kaustophilus. The newly developed AmDH is able to catalyze reductive amination of a diverse set of ketones and functionalized hydroxy ketones with ammonia or primary amines with up to >99% conversion, thus accessing structurally diverse chiral primary and secondary amines and chiral vicinal amino alcohols, with excellent enantioselectivity (up to >99% ee) and releasing water as the sole by-product.
Borohydride reduction stabilizing system and method for reducing ester into alcohol
-
Paragraph 0110; 0111; 0112, (2019/09/13)
The invention provides a borohydride reduction stabilizing system and a method for reducing ester into alcohol. The borohydride reduction stabilizing system comprises a borohydride reducing agent anda stabilizer for stabilizing the borohydride reducing agent, wherein the borohydride reducing agent is sodium borohydride or potassium borohydride, and the stabilizer is an alkali metal salt of alcohol. On the basis of an existing sodium borohydride/potassium reducing agent, an alcohol alkali metal salt (such as sodium alcoholate or potassium alcoholate) is added, and then the sodium borohydride/potassium reducing agent can keep stable and is not decomposed under a heating condition, so that on one hand, reduction activity is maintained in a relatively high state and the situation of excessiveuse is reduced, and on the other hand, generation of hydrogen is reduced and the process risk is reduced.
Rapid and Quantitative Profiling of Substrate Specificity of ω-Transaminases for Ketones

ω-Transaminases (ω-TAs) have gained growing attention owing to their capability for asymmetric synthesis of chiral amines from ketones. Reliable high-throughput activity assay of ω-TAs is essential in carrying out extensive substrate profiling and establishing a robust screening platform. Here we report spectrophotometric and colorimetric methods enabling rapid quantitation of ω-TA activities toward ketones in a 96-well microplate format. The assay methods employ benzylamine, a reactive amino donor for ω-TAs, as a cosubstrate and exploit aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) as a reporter enzyme, leading to formation of benzaldehyde detectable by ALDH owing to concomitant NADH generation. Spectrophotometric substrate profiling of two wild-type ω-TAs of opposite stereoselectivity was carried out at 340 nm with 22 ketones, revealing subtle differences in substrate specificities that were consistent with docking simulation results obtained with cognate amines. Colorimetric readout for naked eye detection of the ω-TA activity was also demonstrated by supplementing the assay mixture with color-developing reagents whose color reaction could be quantified at 580 nm. The colorimetric assay was applied to substrate profiling of an engineered ω-TA for 24 ketones, leading to rapid identification of reactive ketones. The ALDH-based assay is expected to be promising for high-throughput screening of enzyme collections and mutant libraries to fish out the best ω-TA candidate as well as to tailor enzyme properties for efficient amination of a target ketone.

Paragraph 0532, (2019/01/17)
Disclosed are a nitrogenous heterocyclic compound, intermediates, a preparation method, a composition and use thereof. The nitrogenous heterocyclic compound in the present invention is as shown in formula I. The compound has a high inhibitory activity towards ErbB2 tyrosine kinase and a relatively good inhibitory activity towards human breast cancer BT-474 and human gastric cancer cell NCI-N87 which express ErbB2 at a high level, and at the same time has a relatively weak inhibitory activity towards EGFR kinase. Namely, the compound is a highly selective small-molecule inhibitor targeted at ErbB2, and hence it has a high degree of safety, and can effectively enlarge the safety window in the process of taking the drug.
The hydrolysis of epoxides catalyzed by inorganic ammonium salts in water: Kinetic evidence for hydrogen bond catalysis

, p. 1583 - 1590 (2018/02/06)
Naturally-occurring inorganic ammonium ions have been recently reported as efficient catalysts for some organic reactions in water, which contributes to the understanding of the chemistry in some natural environments (soils, seawater, atmospheric aerosols, .) and biological systems, and is also potentially interesting for green chemistry as many of their salts are cheap and non-toxic. In this work, the effect of NH4+ ions on the hydrolysis of small epoxides in water was studied kinetically. The presence of NH4+ increased the hydrolysis rate by a factor of 6 to 25 compared to pure water and these catalytic effects were shown not to result from other ions, counter-ions or from acid or base catalysis, general or specific. The small amounts of amino alcohols produced in the reactions were identified as the actual catalysts by obtaining a strong acceleration of the reactions when adding these compounds directly to the epoxides in water. Replacing the amino alcohols by other strong hydrogen-bond donors, such as trifluoroethanol (TFE) or hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP) gave the same results, demonstrating that the kinetics of these reactions was driven by hydrogen-bond catalysis. Because of the presence of many hydrogen-bond donors in natural environments (for instance amines and hydroxy-containing compounds), hydrogen-bond catalysis is likely to contribute to many reaction rates in these environments.

Over 50 years ago, Jencks and Gilchrist showed that formaldehyde catalyses the hydrolysis of phosphoramidate through electrophilic activation, induced by covalent attachment to its nitrogen atom. Given our interest in the use of aldehydes as catalysts, this work was revisited to identify a superior catalyst, o-phthalaldehyde, which facilitates hydrolyses of various organophosphorus compounds bearing P(O)-NH subunits under mild conditions. Interestingly, chemoselective hydrolysis of the P(O)-N bonds could be accomplished in the presence of P(O)-OR bonds.
