Discovery and development of enzymes for the synthesis of chiral amines have been a hot topic for basic and applied aspects of biocatalysts. Based on our X-ray crystallographic analyses of porcine kidney D-amino acid oxidase (pkDAO) and its variants, we rationally designed a new variant that catalyzed the oxidation of (S)-4-Cl-benzhydrylamine (CBHA) from pkDAO and obtained it by functional high-throughput screening with colorimetric assay. The variant I230A/R283G was constructed from the variant R283G which had completely lost the activity for D-amino acids, further gaining new activity toward (S)-chiral amines with the bulky substituents. The variant enzyme (I230A/R283G) was characterized to have a catalytic efficiency of 1.85 s?1 for (S)-CBHA, while that for (R)-1-phenylethylamine was diminished 10-fold as compared with the Y228L/R283G variant. The variant was efficiently used for the synthesis of (R)-CBHA in 96 % ee from racemic CBHA by the deracemization reaction in the presence of reducing agent such as NaBH4 in water. Furthermore, X-ray crystallographic analysis of the new variant complexed with (S)-CBHA, together with modelling study clearly showed the basis of understanding the structure-activity relationship of pkDAO.

A practical method for the synthesis of 2H-imidazoles via a [2+3] annulation of N-H imines with vinyl azides using a copper catalyst is developed. In this conversion, environmentally friendly oxygen is used as the sole oxidant and N2 and H2O are the only by-products. The catalytic transformation, operating under mild conditions, is operationally simple and is considered as a readily available catalytic system having good substrate and functional compatibility with high atom-efficiency without the need for additional ligands or additives.

An application of H-bonding interactions for directing the α-C-H oxidation of amines to amides and amino-ketones catalyzed by an organic photocatalyst is reported. The high efficiency of this method is demonstrated by the aerobic oxidation of pyrrolidines, diarylamines and benzylamines bearing urea groups with high yields and a wide substrate scope.
