This is an update of our previous work concerning the development of Atropos biphenyl bisphosphine ligands. An unexpected Atropos structural property was confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction and this result is consistent with the computational calculations described in our previous work. This P-stereogenic bisphosphine ligand possessing a biphenyl backbone and 2,2′-tert-butylmethylphosphino groups has been applied to the Rh-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of enol esters, which has not been widely studied and can be used for the synthesis of several important bioactive compounds. Although there is room for further improvement in enantioselectivity, the results reported herein provide a further understanding of such types of ligands. (Figure presented.).

A practical and efficient biocatalytic synthesis of aromatic d-amino acids has been developed, based on the reductive amination of the corresponding α-keto acids via a recombinant whole cell system composed of an engineered dehydrogenase and cofactor recycling apparatus. The reaction was shown to give excellent enantioselectivity (≥98%) and good yields at the preparative scale across a broad range of substrates. Additionally, the structure of the variant enzyme was solved to allow rationalisation of the observed reaction rates. The engineered whole cell catalyst was also used to mediate the production of d-phenylalanine derivatives from racemic mixtures and cheaper l-amino acids by combining it with an enantiocomplementary deaminase.

A series of new cinnamanilides (6-40) were synthesized and their immunosuppressive activity and cytotoxicity were evaluated. Most of the cinnamanilides showed good immunosuppressive activity. Among the synthesized compounds, (Z)-N-(4-bromophenyl)-2-methox

A series of thirteen 4,5-diaryl-3-hydroxy-2(5H)-furanones were synthesized. They were evaluated for their antioxidant potencies and inhibitory properties of 5-lipoxygenase, cyclooxygenases, HIV-1 integrase and PC3 cell proliferation. New hits were discove

The substrate scope of three mutants of phenylalanine dehydrogenase as biocatalysts for the transformation of a series of 2-oxo acids, structurally related to phenylpyruvic acid, to the analogous -amino acids, non-natural analogues of phenylalanine, has been investigated. The mutant enzymes are more tolerant than the wild type enzyme of the non-natural substrates, especially those with substituents at the 4-position on the phenyl ring. Excellent enantiocontrol resulted in all cases.
