We have recently reported the strong and confined, chiral acid-catalyzed asymmetric 'silicon-hydrogen exchange reaction'. One aspect of this transformation is that it enables access to enantiopure enol silanes in a tautomerizing σ-bond metathesis, via deprotosilylation of ketones with allyl silanes as the silicon source. However, until today, this reaction has not been applied to racemic, 2-substituted, cyclic ketones. We show here that these important substrates readily undergo a highly enantioselective kinetic resolution furnishing the corresponding kinetically preferred enol silanes. Mechanistic studies suggest the fascinating possibility of advancing the process to a dynamic kinetic resolution.

The enantioselective protonation of silyl enol ethers was realized in the presence of a pentacarboxycyclopenta-1,3-diene-based chiral Bronsted acid catalyst with water as an achiral proton source to give the corresponding α-aryl ketones in good yields and up to 75percent ee.

Catalytic enantioselective Baeyer-Villiger (BV) oxidations of racemic and meso cyclic ketones were achieved in the presence of chiral N,N'-dioxide-Sc III complex catalysts. The BV oxidations of prochiral cyclohexanones and cyclobutanones afforded series of optically active μ- and γ-lactones, respectively, in up to 99% yield and 95% ee. Meanwhile, the kinetic resolution of racemic 2-arylcyclohexanones was also realized via an abnormal BV oxidation. Enantioenriched 3-aryloxepan-2-ones, whose formation is counter to the migratory aptitude, were obtained preferentially. Both the lactones and the unreacted ketones were obtained with high ee values.

The application of chiral sulfinamides and achiral sulfonic acids as a cocatalyst system for enantioselective protonation reactions is described. Structurally simple, easily accessible sulfinamides were found to induce moderate-to-high ee's in the formation of 2-aryl-substituted cycloalkanones from the corresponding trimethylsilyl enol ethers.

A new Lewis base-tolerant LBA (Lewis Acid Assisted Bronsted Acid) derived from La(OTf)3 and (S)-HOP has been developed as a new chiral Bronsted acid. This acid has been successfully applied as a catalyst to asymmetric protonation reactions of silyl enol ethers of 2-substituted cyclic ketones.
Induced allostery in the directed evolution of an enantioselective Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenase

The molecular basis of allosteric effects, known to be caused by an effector docking to an enzyme at a site distal from the binding pocket, has been studied recently by applying directed evolution. Here, we utilize laboratory evolution in a different way, namely to induce allostery by introducing appropriate distal mutations that cause domain movements with concomitant reshaping of the binding pocket in the absence of an effector. To test this concept, the thermostable Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenase, phenylacetone monooxygenase (PAMO), was chosen as the enzyme to be employed in asymmetric Baeyer-Villiger reactions of substrates that are not accepted by the wild type. By using the known X-ray structure of PAMO, a decision was made regarding an appropriate site at which saturation mutagenesis is most likely to generate mutants capable of inducing allostery without any effector compound being present. After screening only 400 transformants, a double mutant was discovered that catalyzes the asymmetric oxidative kinetic resolution of a set of structurally different 2-substituted cyclohexanone derivatives as well as the desymmetrization of three different 4-substituted cyclohexanones, all with high enantioselectivity. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and covariance maps unveiled the origin of increased substrate scope as being due to allostery. Large domain movements occur that expose and reshape the binding pocket. This type of focused library production, aimed at inducing significant allosteric effects, is a viable alternative to traditional approaches to designed directed evolution that address the binding site directly.
Laboratory evolution of robust and enantioselective Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenases for asymmetric catalysis

The Baeyer-Villiger Monooxygenase, Phenylacetone Monooxygenase (PAMO), recently discovered by Fraaije, Janssen, and co-workers, is unusually thermostable, which makes it a promising candidate for catalyzing enantioselective Baeyer-Villiger reactions in organic chemistry. Unfortunately, however, its substrate scope is very limited, reasonable reaction rates being observed essentially only with phenylacetone and similar linear phenyl-substituted analogs. Previous protein engineering attempts to broaden the range of substrate acceptance and to control enantioselectivity have been met with limited success, including rational design and directed evolution based on saturation mutagenesis with formation of focused mutant libraries, which may have to do with complex domain movements. In the present study, a new approach to laboratory evolution is described which has led to mutants showing unusually high activity and enantioselectivity in the oxidative kinetic resolution of a variety of 2-aryl and 2-alkylcyclohexanones which are not accepted by the wild-type (WT) PAMO and of a structurally very different bicyclic ketone. The new strategy exploits bioinformatics data derived from sequence alignment of eight different Baeyer-Villiger Monooxygenases, which in conjunction with the known X-ray structure of PAMO and induced fit docking suggests potential randomization sites, different from all previous approaches to focused library generation. Sites harboring highly conserved proline in a loop of the WT are targeted. The most active and enantioselective mutants retain the high thermostability of the parent WT PAMO. The success of the "proline" hypothesis in the present system calls for further testing in future laboratory evolution studies.

A highly reactive and robust chiral Bronsted acid catalyst, chiral N-triflyl thiophosphoramide, was developed. The first metal-free Bronsted acid catalyzed enantioselective protonation reaction of silyl enol ethers was demonstrated using this chiral Bronsted acid catalyst. The catalyst loading could be reduced to 0.05 mol % without any deleterious effect on the enantioselectivity. Copyright
