Direct reductive amination of prochiral ketones catalyzed by amine dehydrogenases is attractive in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients. Here, we report the protein engineering of L-Bacillus cereus amine dehydrogenase to allow reactivity on synthetically useful aromatic ketone substrates using an iterative, multiple-site alanine scanning mutagenesis approach. Mutagenesis libraries based on molecular docking, iterative alanine scanning, and double-proximity filter approach significantly expand the scope of active pharmaceutical ingredients relevant building blocks. The eventual quintuple mutant (A115G/T136A/L42A/V296A/V293A) showed reactivity toward aromatic ketones 12 a (5-phenyl-pentan-2-one) and 13 a (6-phenyl-hexan-2-one), which have not been reported to serve as targets of reductive amination by currently available amine dehydrogenases. Docking simulation and tunnel analysis provided valuable insights into the source of the acquired specificity and activity.

Paragraph 0035; 0036; 0038; 0049, (2018/07/30)
The invention provides an improved synthetic method of (R)-1-aryl-2-propylamine. The improved synthetic method comprises the following steps of: adopting 1-arylacetone as a raw material, adding (R)-1-phenylethylamine, carrying out reductive amination reaction with hydrogen under a common action of a Lewis acid additive and a transitional metal hydrogenation catalyst; carrying out Pd/C catalytic hydrogenation on an obtained intermediate to remove phenethyl on nitrogen and thus obtaining (R)-1-aryl-2-propylamine. The improved synthetic method provided by the invention has the beneficial effectsthat the operation is simple, the adopted Lewis acid additive is low in cost and easy in obtaining, the yield and the enantioselectivity of a product are high, and the application value for industrialsynthesis of (R)-1-aryl-2-propylamine is very high.

Polyfunctional indoles bearing substituents at C5 and C6 are prevalent in natural products, pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and materials. Owing to the remoteness of the C5 and C6 positions, indoles of this family can be difficult to prepare, and often require multistep syntheses. Herein, we describe a concise process that converts simple derivatives of tyrosine into 5,6-difunctionalized indoles by direct oxidation of C?H, N?H, and O?H bonds. Our work draws inspiration from the biosynthetic polymerization of tyrosine to make melanin pigments, but makes an important departure to provide well-defined indole heterocycles.

The development of base metal catalysts for the synthesis of pharmaceutically relevant compounds remains an important goal of chemical research. Here, we report that cobalt nanoparticles encapsulated by a graphitic shell are broadly effective reductive amination catalysts. Their convenient and practical preparation entailed template assembly of cobaltdiamine- dicarboxylic acid metal organic frameworks on carbon and subsequent pyrolysis under inert atmosphere.The resulting stable and reusable catalysts were active for synthesis of primary, secondary, tertiary, and N-methylamines (more than 140 examples).The reaction couples easily accessible carbonyl compounds (aldehydes and ketones) with ammonia, amines, or nitro compounds, and molecular hydrogen under industrially viable and scalable conditions, offering cost-effective access to numerous amines, amino acid derivatives, and more complex drug targets.

Both enantiomers of several phenylethylamines, structurally related to amphetamine, have been prepared in good yields and excellent enantiomeric purity by enzymatic kinetic resolution using CAL-B and ethyl methoxyacetate as the acyl donor. In the case of the 4-hydroxyderivative of amphetamine (compound 4i), the S enantiomer racemized possibly in a dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR) under the enzymatic conditions used.

Magnesium-Catalyzed Proficient Reduction of Oximes to Amines Using Ammonium Formate
Abiraj,Gowda, D. Channe
, p. 599 - 605 (2007/10/03)
Various aldoximes and ketoximes were selectively reduced to the corresponding amines by catalytic transfer hydrogenation employing low cost magnesium powder and ammonium formate at room temperature. Many other functionalities such as halogens, -OH, -OCH3, -COOH and -CH 3 remained unaffected. The hydrogenation is fast, mild, clean, cost effective and high yielding.
