Lewis Acid-Mediated S(N)2 type displacement by grignard reagents on chiral perhydropyrido[2,1-b]pyrrolo[1,2-d][1,3,4]oxadiazine. Chirality induction in asymmetric synthesis of 2-Substituted piperidines

Et2AlCl-mediated nucleophilic alkylation with Grignard reagents on chiral perhydropyrido[2,1-b]pyrrolo[l,2-d][1,3,4]oxadiazine has proved to proceed via an S(N)2 mechanism at low temperatures (below -80°C) with high to excellent inversive stereoselection, while, at an elevated temperature, hydrazonium ions are formed preferentially leading to retentive stereoselection. This methodology provides useful access to enantioselective preparation of 2-substituted piperidines and is used for asymmetric synthesis of (+)-coniine.

Oxidoreductases from Streptomyces sp. GF3546 [3546-IRED], Bacillus cereus BAG3X2 (BcIRED) and Nocardiopsis halophila (NhIRED) each reduce prochiral 2-methylpyrroline (2MPN) to (S)-2-methylpyrrolidine with >95 % ee and also a number of other imine substrates with good selectivity. Structures of BcIRED and NhIRED have helped to identify conserved active site residues within this subgroup of imine reductases that have S selectivity towards 2MPN, including a tyrosine residue that has a possible role in catalysis and superimposes with an aspartate in related enzymes that display R selectivity towards the same substrate. Mutation of this tyrosine residue - Tyr169 - in 3546-IRED to Phe resulted in a mutant of negligible activity. The data together provide structural evidence for the location and significance of the Tyr residue in this group of imine reductases, and permit a comparison of the active sites of enzymes that reduce 2MPN with either R or S selectivity.

Imine reductases (IRED) are promising catalysts for the synthesis of optically pure secondary cyclic amines. Three novel IREDs from Paenibacillus elgii B69, Streptomyces ipomoeae 91-03 and Pseudomonas putida KT2440 were identified by amino acid or structural similarity search, cloned and recombinantly expressed in E. coli and their substrate scope was investigated. Besides the acceptance of cyclic amines, also acyclic amines could be identified as substrates for all IREDs. For the IRED from P. putida, a crystal structure (PDB-code 3L6D) is available in the database, but the function of the protein was not investigated so far. This enzyme showed the highest apparent E-value of approximately Eapp = 52 for (R)-methylpyrrolidine of the IREDs investigated in this study. Thus, an excellent enantiomeric purity of >99% and 97% conversion was reached in a biocatalytic reaction using resting cells after 24 h. Interestingly, a histidine residue could be confirmed as a catalytic residue by mutagenesis, but the residue is placed one turn aside compared to the formally known position of the catalytic Asp187 of Streptomyces kanamyceticus IRED.
