An order-of-magnitude improvement in the production of phenylacetaldehyde to 3.37 M (405 g L?1) from the enzymatic isomerisation of styrene oxide was achieved. A small ubiquitin-related modifier (SUMO) tag increases the productivity of the whole-cell biocatalytic system by enhancing the expression of active membrane-bound styrene oxide isomerase (SOI) while retaining enzyme catalytic efficiency and broad natural substrate scope. The isomerisation was performed by using Escherichia coli expressing SUMO-tagged SOI in an organic-aqueous biphasic system to yield 96% of phenylacetaldehyde. (Figure presented.).

The 1,5-benzodiazepines are important skeletons frequently contained in medicinal chemistry. Herein, we described an unexpected tandem cyclization/transfer hydrogenation reaction for obtaining chiral 2,3-disubstituted 1,5-benzodiazepines. The enolizable aryl aldehydes were chosen as substrates to react with symmetric and unsymmetric o-phenylenediamines. The unforeseen tandem reaction occurred among many possible latent side reactions under chiral phosphoric acid catalysis and affords the corresponding products in moderate yields and regioselectivities, good diastereoselectivities, and enantiomeric ratio (up to 99:1).
