Asymmetric Biocatalytic Amination of Ketones at the Expense of NH3 and Molecular Hydrogen

A biocatalytic system is presented for the stereoselective amination of ketones at the expense of NH3 and molecular hydrogen. By using a NAD+-reducing hydrogenase, an alanine dehydrogenase, and a suitable ω-transaminase, the R- as well as the S-enantiomer of various amines could be prepared with up to >99% ee and 98% conversion. (Chemical Equation Presented).

Stereoselective transformations of α-trifluoromethylated ketoximes to optically active amines by enzyme-nanometal cocatalysis: Synthesis of (s)-inhibitor of phenylethanolamine n-methyltransferase

One-pot cascade synthesis of optically active α-trifluoromethylated amines directly from ketoximes was accomplished with the use of Candida antarctica lipase B and catalysts prepared by atomic layer deposition (ALD). Compared to the commercial palladium catalyst, the ALD-prepared catalysts showed much higher activity and afforded various α-trifluoromethylated amides in good yields and with high enantioselectivity. One of the enantiopure amides was further hydrolyzed into the corresponding amine, which was treated as a crucial starting material for total synthesis of (S)-inhibitor of phenylethanolamine N-methyltransferase without loss of chiral information.

Chemoenzymatic dynamic kinetic resolution of α-trifluoromethylated amines: Influence of substitutions on the reversed stereoselectivity

Enzymatic resolution of α-trifluoromethylated amines via kinetic resolution (KR), dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR) employing CALB-Pd/Al 2O3, and a one-pot sequential process of KR/DKR/KR was investigated comparatively for the first time. Although CALB-catalyzed KR of α-trifluoromethylated amines with substituents of methyl (1a), isopropyl (1c), phenyl (1d) and benzyl group (1e) can provide good stereoselectivity factors E from 31 to >200 respectively, DKR and sequential process of KR/DKR/KR possess better practical application potential because of the higher conversion (62%-84%) and the similar enantiomeric excesses (90%-99%). The enantiopreference and inversion for the α-trifluoromethylated amines displayed by CALB were observed and explained by docking modes. Namely, for 1,1,1-trifluoro-2-propylamine (1a), the product amide with R-configuration was obtained, and the enantiopreference was converted to S for the amines (1b-1e) with substituents larger than methyl group. The catalysts recycle, and scale-up experiments were demonstrated successfully. All these results indicated the high efficiency and green feature of this enzymatic process, and its application significance.
