Both (S) and (R) forms of enantiomerically pure 2-tetralols, and their substituted analogs, are fundamental pharmaceutical intermediates. Here, we utilized the wild type and an engineered form of a highly enantioselective acetophenone reductase from Geotrichum candidum NBRC 4597 (GcAPRD) to produce (S)- and (R)-2-tetralols, and their substituted analogs. All mutations targeted residue Trp288, which has been shown to restrict substrate binding, but not play a direct role in catalysis. The wild type produced (S)-alcohols with excellent enantioselectivity, while the engineered forms produced either (S)- or (R)- alcohols, depending on the substituent on the aromatic ring of the substrate, indicating that enantioselectivity can be rationally controlled. As a result, we were able to produce 6-hydroxy-2-tetralol, a potential antifungal drug intermediate, with 98% ee (S) and 81% ee (R) by wild type and Trp288Ser GcAPRD, respectively. To our knowledge, this is the first report of generating chiral 6-hydroxy-2-tetralol by rational enzyme design.

Various artificial network designs that involve biocatalysts were tested for the asymmetric amination of sec-alcohols to the corresponding α-chiral primary amines. The artificial systems tested involved three to five redox enzymes and were exemplary of a range of different sec-alcohol substrates. Alcohols were oxidised to the corresponding ketone by an alcohol dehydrogenase. The ketones were subsequently aminated by employing a ω-transaminase. Of special interest were redox-neutral designs in which the hydride abstracted in the oxidation step was reused in the amination step of the cascade. Under optimised conditions up to 91 % conversion of an alcohol to the amine was achieved. Trickle-down effect: The asymmetric amination of sec-alcohols to the corresponding α-chiral primary amines was performed with a biocatalytic cascade whereby the various steps were interconnected through the cofactors/cosubstrates. In a redox-neutral cascade and under optimised conditions, up to 91 % conversion of an alcohol to the amine was achieved. Copyright

A recombinant Escherichia coli expressing P450pyr monooxygenase of Sphingomonas sp. HXN-200 was developed as a useful biocatalyst for regio- and stereoselective hydroxylations, with no side reaction and easy cell growth. The resting E. coli cells showed an activity of 4.1 U/g cdw and 9.9 U/g cdw for the hydroxylation of N-benzylpyrrolidin-2-one 1 and N-benzyloxycarbonylpyrrolidine 3, respectively, being as active as the wide-type strain. Biohydroxylation of N-benzylpyrrolidin-2-one 1 with the resting cells gave (S)-N-benzyl-4- hydroxypyrrolidin-2-one 2 in >99% ee and 10.8 mM, a 2.6 times increase of product concentration in comparison with the wild-type strain. Biohydroxylation of N-tert-butoxycarbonylpiperidin-2-one 5, N-benzylpiperidine 7 and N-tert-butoxycarbonylazetidine 9 with the E. coli cells afforded the corresponding 4-hydroxypiperidin-2-one 6, 4-hydroxypiperidine 8, and 3-hydroxyazetidine 10 in 14 mM, 17 mM, and 21 mM, respectively. Moreover, hydroxylation of (-)-β-pinene 11 with the recombinant E. coli cells showed excellent regio- and stereoselectivity and gave (1R)-trans-pinocarveol 12 in 82% yield and 4.1 mM, which is over 200 times higher than that obtained with the best biocatalytic system known thus far. The recombinant strain was also able to hydroxylate other types of substrates with unique selectivity: biohydroxylation of norbornane 13 gave exo-norbornaeol 14, with exo/endo selectivity of 95%; tetralin 15 and 6-methoxytetralin 17 were hydroxylated at the non-activated 2-position, for the first time, with regioselectivities of 83-84%.
