experimental part, p. 2293 - 2298 (2009/08/17)
A three-step, two-enzyme, one-pot reaction sequence starting from prochiral a-chloroketones leading to enantiopure (3- azidoalcohols and (3-hydroxynitriles is described. Asymmetric bioreduction of a-chloroketones by hydrogen transfer catalysed by an alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) established the stereogenic centre in the first step to furnish enantiopure chlorohydrin intermediates. Subsequent biocatalysed ring closure to the epoxide and nucleophilic ring opening with azide, N3-, or cyanide, CN-, both catalysed by a nonselective halohydrin dehalogenase (Hhe) proceeded with full retention of configuration to give enantiopure (-azidoalcohols and (3-hydroxynitriles, respectively. Both enantiomers of various optically pure (-azidoalcohols and (-hydroxynitriles were synthesised.

Chemoenzymatic dynamic kinetic resolution of β-hydroxy nitriles 1 has been carried out using Candida antarctica lipase B and a ruthenium catalyst. The use of a hydrogen source to depress ketone formation in the dynamic kinetic resolution yields the corresponding acetates 2 in good yield and high enantioselectivity. It is shown that the ruthenium catalyst and the enzyme can be recycled when used in separate reactions. We also report on the preparation of various enantiomerically pure β-hydroxy acid derivatives and γ-amino alcohols from 1 and 2. The latter compounds were also used to establish the correct absolute configuration of 1 and 2.
A facile preparation of (±)-β-hydroxy nitriles and their enzymatic resolution with lipases

A simple and efficient method for the preparation of racemic 4-aryloxy-3-hydroxybutanenitriles is described. Lipase mediated kinetic resolution in organic media was then utilised to effect enantioseparation. Lipases from different sources were screened in the resolution reaction using a number of organic solvents. Enantiomeric excesses of up to 99% were obtained by employing lipase from Pseudomonas cepacia in di-iso-propyl ether medium.
