Secondary alcohol dehydrogenase (SADH) from Thermoanaerobacter ethanolicus, an NADP-dependent, thermostable oxidoreductase, reduces ethynyl ketones and ethynylketoesters enantioselectively to the corresponding propargyl (propargyl = prop-2-ynyl) alcohols. Ethynyl ketones, in general, are reduced with moderate enantioselectivity (with the exception of 4-methylpent-l-yn-3-one, which gives the (S)-alcohol with >98% ee). Although ethynyl ketones bearing a small (up to n-propyl) alkyl substituent are reduced to (S)-alcohols, larger ethynyl ketones give (R)-alcohols. In contrast, ethynylketoesters are converted to (R)-ethynylhydroxyesters of excellent optical purity. Unexpectedly, isopropyl ethynylketoesters give higher chemical yields and higher enantioselectivities of ethynylhydroxyesters than methyl or ethyl ethynylketoesters. The optically pure ethynylhydroxyesters may serve as useful chiral building blocks for asymmetric synthesis.
