Enantiodivergent asymmetric catalysis with the tropos BIPHEP ligand and a proline derivative as chiral selector
Oczipka,Müller,Leitner,Franciò
, p. 678 - 683 (2016)
A catalytic system based on the tropos ligand BIPHEP and (S)-proline methyl ester as chiral selector was studied for Rh-catalysed asymmetric catalysis. By careful control of the catalyst preformation conditions, the enantioselectivity could be completely reversed in asymmetric hydrogenation of prochiral olefins maintaining the same absolute level in favorable cases. The enantiodivergent asymmetric catalysis could be rationalised by the interplay of the dynamic chirality (tropos) of the phosphine ligand and the coordination of the proline selector. Treating a suitable Rh-BIPHEP precursor with the (Sc)-proline-based ionic liquid led to an equimolar mixture of (RaSc)- and (SaSc)-diastereomers that is kinetically stable at 0 °C. At higher temperature, an irreversible diastereomerisation process was observed resulting in the diastereomerically pure (RaSc)-complex [Rh{(Ra)-BIPHEP}{(Sc)-ProlOMe}]. Whereas the use of the pure (RaSc)-complex led to 51% ee (R) in the hydrogenation of methyl 2-acetamidoacrylate, the S-product was formed with almost identical enantioselectivity when the (RaSc)/(SaSc)-mixture was applied under identical conditions. This inversion was associated with the relative stability of the diastereomers in the equilibria forming the catalytically active substrate complex. The possibility to use this different reactivity to control the direction of enantioselectivity was demonstrated for the hydrogenation of different substrates whereby ee's of up to 80% could be achieved. Moreover, the (RaSc)-complex led to high enantioselectivities of up 86% ee in the asymmetric hydroboration of styrene, approaching the performance of the atropos BINAP ligand for this reaction.

, (2020)
Peroxidases and peroxygenases are promising classes of enzymes for biocatalysis because of their ability to carry out one-electron oxidation reactions and stereoselective oxyfunctionalizations. However, industrial application is limited, as the major drawback is the sensitivity toward the required peroxide substrates. Herein, we report a novel biocatalysis approach to circumvent this shortcoming: in situ production of H2O2 by dielectric barrier discharge plasma. The discharge plasma can be controlled to produce hydrogen peroxide at desired rates, yielding desired concentrations. Using horseradish peroxidase, it is demonstrated that hydrogen peroxide produced by plasma treatment can drive the enzymatic oxidation of model substrates. Fungal peroxygenase is then employed to convert ethylbenzene to (R)-1-phenylethanol with an ee of >96 % using plasma-generated hydrogen peroxide. As direct treatment of the reaction solution with plasma results in reduced enzyme activity, the use of plasma-treated liquid and protection strategies are investigated to increase total turnover. Technical plasmas present a noninvasive means to drive peroxide-based biotransformations.

Gao, Yan,Zhong, Runtao,Qin, Jianhua,Lin, Bingcheng
, p. 262 - 263 (2009)
Enantioselective enzymatic hydrolysis of racemic mixture is an effective method to obtain pure enantiomer. In this report, an immobilized lipase microfluidic reactor was fabricated and applied to enantioselective hydrolysis of racemic 1-phenylethyl acetate to obtain (R)-l-phenylethanol. This immobilized lipase microfluidic reactor consumed trace amount of enzyme, showed identical performance compared to free enzyme in batch, and good stability that can be recycled for at least eight times without obvious loss of activity.

Peroxygenases are very interesting catalysts for specific oxyfunctionalization chemistry. Instead of relying on complicated electron transport chains, they rely on simple hydrogen peroxide as the stoichiometric oxidant. Their poor robustness against H2O2 can be addressed via in situ generation of H2O2. Here we report that simple graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) is a promising photocatalyst to drive peroxygenase-catalyzed hydroxylation reactions. The system has been characterized by outlining not only its scope but also its current limitations. In particular, spatial separation of the photocatalyst from the enzyme is shown as a solution to circumvent the undesired inactivation of the biocatalyst. Overall, very promising turnover numbers of the biocatalyst of more than 60.000 have been achieved.
Mapping the substrate selectivity and enantioselectivity of esterases from thermophiles

To identify potential applications of nineteen esterases from thermophiles, we mapped their substrate selectivity and enantioselectivity using a library of 50 esters. We measured the selectivities colorimetrically using Quick E, which uses pH indicators to detect hydrolysis and a chromogenic reference compound as an internal control. The substrate selectivity mapping revealed one esterase, E018b, with a strong preference for acetyl esters (14- to 25-fold over hexanoate). The enantioselectivity mapping revealed a number of cases of high enantioselectivity. Thirteen of the 19 esterases showed moderate or better enantioselectivity (>19) toward 1-phenethyl butyrate favoring the (R)-enantiomer and two esterases (E008, E013) showed moderate or better enantioselectivity (>20) toward methyl 2-chloropropionate favoring the (S)-enantiomer. Three esterases (E001, E004, E005) showed high (>46) enantioselectivity toward menthyl acetate favoring the (R)-enantiomer. This rapid mapping of the selectivity simplifies the characterization of new enzymes.

Discovery and Redesign of a Family VIII Carboxylesterase with High (S)-Selectivity toward Chiral sec-Alcohols
Park, Areum,Park, Seongsoon
, p. 2397 - 2402 (2022/02/17)
Highly enantioselective lipase has been widely utilized in the preparation of versatile enantiopure chiral sec-alcohols through kinetic or dynamic kinetic resolution. Lipase is intrinsically (R)-selective, and it is difficult to obtain (S)-selective lipase. Recent crystal structures of a family VIII carboxylesterase have revealed that the spatial array of its catalytic triad is the mirror image of that of lipase but with a catalytic triad that is distinct from lipase. We, therefore, hypothesized that the family VIII carboxylesterase may exhibit (S)-enantioselectivity toward sec-alcohols similar to (S)-selective serine protease, whose catalytic triad is also spatially arrayed as its mirror image. In this study, a homologous enzyme (carboxylesterase from Proteobacteria bacterium SG_bin9, PBE) of a known family VIII carboxylesterase (pdb code: 4IVK) was prepared, which showed not only moderate (S)-selectivity toward sec-alcohols such as 3-butyn-2-ol and 1-phenylethyl alcohol but also (R)-selectivity toward particular sec-alcohols among the substrates explored. Furthermore, the (S)-selectivity of PBE has been significantly improved by rational redesign based on molecular modeling. Molecular modeling identified a binding pocket composed of Ser381, Ala383, and Arg408 for the methyl substituent of (R)-1-phenylethyl acetate and suggested that larger residues may increase the enantioselectivity by interfering with the binding of the slow-reacting enantiomer. As predicted, substituting Ser381with larger residues (Phe, Tyr, and Trp) significantly improved the (S)-selectivity of PBE toward all sec-alcohols explored, even the substrates toward which the wild-type PBE exhibits (R)-selectivity. For instance, the enantioselectivity toward 3-butyn-2-ol and 1-phenylethyl alcohol was improved from E = 5.5 and 36.1 to E = 2001 and 882, respectively, by single mutagenesis (S381F).
Enantioselective oxidation of secondary alcohols by the flavoprotein alcohol oxidase from Phanerochaete chrysosporium

, (2021/05/03)
The enantioselective oxidation of secondary alcohols represents a valuable approach for the synthesis of optically pure compounds. Flavoprotein oxidases can catalyse such selective transformations by merely using oxygen as electron acceptor. While many flavoprotein oxidases preferably act on primary alcohols, the FAD-containing alcohol oxidase from Phanerochaete chrysosporium was found to be able to perform kinetic resolutions of several secondary alcohols. By selective oxidation of the (S)-alcohols, the (R)-alcohols were obtained in high enantiopurity. In silico docking studies were carried out in order to substantiate the observed (S)-selectivity. Several hydrophobic and aromatic residues in the substrate binding site create a cavity in which the substrates can comfortably undergo van der Waals and pi-stacking interactions. Consequently, oxidation of the secondary alcohols is restricted to one of the two enantiomers. This study has uncovered the ability of an FAD-containing alcohol oxidase, that is known for oxidizing small primary alcohols, to perform enantioselective oxidations of various secondary alcohols.
