Enantiopure (R)- and (S)-2-phenylglycinols are important chiral building blocks for pharmaceutical manufacturing. Several chemical and enzymatic methods for their synthesis were reported, either involving multi-step synthesis or starting from a relatively complex chemical. Here, we developed one-pot simple syntheses of enantiopure (R)- and (S)-2-phenylglycinols from cheap starting materials and renewable feedstocks. Enzyme cascades consisting of epoxidation-hydrolysis-oxidation-transamination were developed to convert styrene 2 a to (R)- and (S)-2-phenylglycinol 1 a, with butanediol dehydrogenase for alcohol oxidation as well as BmTA and NfTA for (R)- and (S)-enantioselective transamination, respectively. The engineered E. coli strains expressing the cascades produced 1015 mg/L (R)-1 a in >99% ee and 315 mg/L (S)-1 a in 91% ee, respectively, from styrene 2 a. The same cascade also converted substituted styrenes 2 b–k and indene 2 l into substituted (R)-phenylglycinols 1 b–k and (1R, 2R)-1-amino-2-indanol 1 l in 95–>99% ee. To transform bio-based L-phenylalanine 6 to (R)-1 a and (S)-1 a, (R)- and (S)-enantioselective enzyme cascades for deamination-decarboxylation-epoxidation-hydrolysis-oxidation-transamination were developed. The engineered E. coli strains produced (R)-1 a and (S)-1 a in high ee at 576 mg/L and 356 mg/L, respectively, from L-phenylalanine 6, as the first synthesis of these compounds from a bio-based chemical. Finally, L-phenylalanine biosynthesis pathway was combined with (R)- or (S)-enantioselective cascade in one strain or coupled strains, to achieve the first synthesis of (R)-1 a and (S)-1 a from a renewable feedstock. The coupled strain approach enhanced the production, affording 274 and 384 mg/L (R)-1 a and 274 and 301 mg/L (S)-1 a, from glucose and glycerol, respectively. The developed methods could be potentially useful to produce these high-value chemicals from cheap starting materials and renewable feedstocks in a green and sustainable manner. (Figure presented.).
Synthesis of enantiopure 1,2-azido and 1,2-amino alcohols via regio- and stereoselective ring-opening of enantiopure epoxides by sodium azide in hot water

A practical and convenient method for the efficient and regio- and stereoselective ring-opening of enantiopure monosubstituted epoxides by sodium azide under hydrolytic conditions is reported. The ring-opening of enantiopure styryl and pyridyl (S)-epoxides by N3- in hot water takes place preferentially at the internal position with complete inversion of configuration to produce (R)-2-azido ethanols with up to 99% enantio- and regioselectivity, while the (S)-adamantyl oxirane provides mainly the (S)-1-adamantyl-2-azido ethanol in excellent yield. In general, 1,2-amino ethanols were obtained in high yield and excellent enantiopurity by the reduction of the chiral 1,2-azido ethanols with PPh3 in water/THF, and then converted into the Boc or acetamide derivatives.
