A series of chiral 2-hydroxy ethyl/benzyl benzimidazole based aryl triazole tweezers have been prepared using click chemistry in high yields. Chiral pool strategy has been used to obtain the benzimidazole-based tweezers in very high enantiomerically enriched form. The aryl triazole tweezers, S-(?)-5a and S-(+)-8a displayed a high degree of selectivity for iodide anion over other anions, including other halides. The aryl triazole tweezers, S-(?)-5a and S-(+)-8a display significant enantio-discrimination for chiral amines. The chiral recognition studies were carried out using UV and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy. NMR analysis has been used for establishing the sites for ligation of the iodide anion.

Mutations were introduced into the leucine amine dehydrogenase (L-AmDH) derived from G. stearothermophilus leucine dehydrogenase (LeuDH) with the goals of increased activity and expanded substrate acceptance. A triple variant (L-AmDH-TV) including D32A, F101S, and C290V showed an average of 2.5-fold higher activity toward aliphatic ketones and an 8.0 °C increase in melting temperature. L-AmDH-TV did not show significant changes in relative activity for different substrates. In contrast, L39A, L39G, A112G, and T133G in varied combinations added to L-AmDH-TV changed the shape of the substrate binding pocket. L-AmDH-TV was not active on ketones larger than 2-hexanone. L39A and L39G enabled activity for straight-chain ketones as large as 2-decanone and in combination with A112G enabled activity toward longer branched ketones including 5-methyl-2-octanone.

Multienzyme cascade approaches for the synthesis of optically pure molecules from simple achiral compounds are desired. Herein, a cofactor self-sufficient cascade protocol for the asymmetric amination of racemic secondary alcohols to the corresponding chiral amines was successfully constructed by employing an alcohol dehydrogenase and a newly developed amine dehydrogenase. The compatibility and the identical cofactor dependence of the two enzymes led to an ingenious in situ cofactor recycling system in the one-pot synthesis. The artificial redox-neutral cascade process allowed the transformation of racemic secondary alcohols into enantiopure amines with considerable conversions (up to 94 %) and >99 % enantiomeric excess at the expense of only ammonia; this method thus represents a concise and efficient route for the asymmetric synthesis of chiral amines. If you know what amine: A redox-neutral two-enzyme cascade encompassing an alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and an amine dehydrogenase (AmDH) is constructed for the synthesis of chiral amines from the corresponding racemic alcohols in one pot to afford considerable conversions (up to 94 %) and high enantiomeric excess values (>99 %) at the expense of only ammonia.
