, p. 29 - 32 (2017)
A robust two-enzyme system composed of an immobilized ketoreductase (KRED1-Pglu) and a glucose dehydrogenase (BmGDH) was developed via immobilization on aldehyde agarose for the stereoselective reduction of different ketones. The immobilized ketoreductase/glucose dehydrogenase system was continuously used in a flow reactor for weeks, even in the presence of concentrations of DMSO up to 20%.

A new NADPH-dependent benzil reductase (KRED1-Pglu) was identified from the genome of the non-conventional yeast Pichia glucozyma CBS 5766 and overexpressed in E. coli. The new protein was characterised and reaction parameters were optimised for the enantioselective reduction of benzil to (S)-benzoin. A thorough study of the substrate range of KRED1-Pglu was conducted; in contrast to most other known ketoreductases, KRED1-Pglu prefers space-demanding substrates, which are often converted with high stereoselectivity. A molecular modelling study was carried out for understanding the structural determinants involved in the stereorecognition experimentally observed and unpredictable on the basis of steric properties of the substrates. As a result, a new useful catalyst was identified, enabling the enantioselective preparation of different aromatic alcohols and hydroxyketones.

Benzil reductases are dehydrogenases preferentially active on aromatic 1,2-diketones, but the reasons for this peculiar substrate recognition have not yet been clarified. The benzil reductase (KRED1-Pglu) from the non-conventional yeast Pichia glucozyma showed excellent activity and stereoselectivity in the monoreduction of space-demanding aromatic 1,2-dicarbonyls, making this enzyme attractive as biocatalyst in organic chemistry. Structural insights into the stereoselective monoreduction of 1,2-diketones catalyzed by KRED1-Pglu were investigated starting from its 1.77 ? resolution crystal structure, followed by QM and classical calculations; this study allowed for the identification and characterization of the KRED1-Pglu reactive site. Once identified the recognition elements involved in the stereoselective desymmetrization of bulky 1,2-dicarbonyls mediated by KRED1-Pglu, a mechanism was proposed together with an in silico prediction of substrates reactivity.
Abiotic reduction of ketones with silanes catalysed by carbonic anhydrase through an enzymatic zinc hydride

Enzymatic reactions through mononuclear metal hydrides are unknown in nature, despite the prevalence of such intermediates in the reactions of synthetic transition-metal catalysts. If metalloenzymes could react through abiotic intermediates like these, then the scope of enzyme-catalysed reactions would expand. Here we show that zinc-containing carbonic anhydrase enzymes catalyse hydride transfers from silanes to ketones with high enantioselectivity. We report mechanistic data providing strong evidence that the process involves a mononuclear zinc hydride. This work shows that abiotic silanes can act as reducing equivalents in an enzyme-catalysed process and that monomeric hydrides of electropositive metals, which are typically unstable in protic environments, can be catalytic intermediates in enzymatic processes. Overall, this work bridges a gap between the types of transformation in molecular catalysis and biocatalysis. [Figure not available: see fulltext.]
Expanding the Substrate Specificity of Thermoanaerobacter pseudoethanolicus Secondary Alcohol Dehydrogenase by a Dual Site Mutation

Here, we report the asymmetric reduction of selected phenyl-ring-containing ketones by various single- and dual-site mutants of Thermoanaerobacter pseudoethanolicus secondary alcohol dehydrogenase (TeSADH). The further expansion of the size of the substrate binding pocket in the mutant W110A/I86A not only allowed the accommodation of substrates of the single mutants W110A and I86A within the expanded active site but also expanded the substrate range of the enzyme to ketones bearing two sterically demanding groups (bulky–bulky ketones), which are not substrates for the TeSADH single mutants. We also report the regio- and enantioselective reduction of diketones with W110A/I86A TeSADH and single TeSADH mutants. The double mutant exhibited dual stereopreference to generate the Prelog products most of the time and the anti-Prelog products in a few cases.

An established route to enantiomerically pure β-hydroxy ketones proceeds through the asymmetric hydrogenation of β-keto esters, an ester/amide exchange, and the use of the resulting β-hydroxy amide for the acylation of an organometallic compound. We shortened this route by showing that β-keto Weinreb amides are hydrogenated with up to 99 % ee in the presence of [Me2NH2]+{[RuCl(S)-BINAP]2(μ-Cl)3}–(0.5 mol-%) at room temp./5 bar. These Weinreb amides were prepared by seemingly obvious yet unprecedented condensations of lithiated N-methoxy-N-methylacetamide with carboxylic chlorides (51–87 % yield). The resulting β-hydroxy Weinreb amides were used for the acylation of organolithium and Grignard reagents. They thus gave enantiomerically pure β-hydroxy ketones (28 examples). A selection of these compounds gave anti-1,3-diols after another C=O bond hydrogenation, or syn-1,3-diols by a Narasaka–Prasad reduction.
Asymmetric chemoenzymatic synthesis of 1,3-diols and 2,4-disubstituted aryloxetanes by using whole cell biocatalysts

Regio- and stereo-selective reduction of substituted 1,3-aryldiketones, investigated in the presence of different whole cell microorganisms, was found to afford β-hydroxyketones or 1,3-diols in very good yields (up to 95%) and enantiomeric excesses (up to 96%). The enantiomerically enriched aldols, obtained with the opposite stereo-preference by baker's yeast and Lactobacillus reuteri DSM 20016 bioreduction, could then be diastereoselectively transformed into optically active syn- or anti-1,3-diols by a careful choice of the chemical reducing agent (diastereomeric ratio up to 98 : 2). The latter, in turn, were stereospecifically cyclized into the corresponding oxetanes in 43-98% yields and in up to 94% ee, thereby giving a diverse selection of stereo-defined 2,4-disubstituted aryloxetanes.
