The oxidative brominating activity of an organic solvent-tolerant recombinant metal-free bromoperoxidase BPO-A1 with C-terminal His-tag (rBPO-A1), from Streptomyces aureofaciens found to depend on various additives. These included carboxylic acids, used as cofactors and alcohols, used as water-miscible organic solvents. Enzyme activity was significantly enhanced by using propanoic acid (PA) as a cofactor, which had a high Log D at pH 5.0 and ethylene glycol with a low Log P. The positional specificity of oxidative hydroxybromination for olefins, using rBPO-A1 and PA in the presence of methanol, was higher compared to a non-enzymatic reaction using peracetic acid. The oxidative bromination step, occurring after enzymatic peroxidation step, is suggested to be pseudoenzymatic.

A comparative evaluation was made on the syntheses of vicinal halohydrins, halo methyl ethers, and halo acetates from olefins using 2:1 Br-/BrO3- and I-/IO3- reagents. In many cases both reagents afforded products selectively in high yields. The highest halogen atom efficiencies attained were 97% and 93% for Br-/BrO3- and I-/IO3-, respectively. Of the two reagents, I-/IO3- was established to be the preferred reagent for vicinal functionalization of linear alkenes and also for halo acetate preparation. However, only Br-/BrO3- was effective for vicinal functionalization of trans-stilbene and chalcones.
