Comprising approximately 40% of the commercially available optically active drugs, α-chiral amines are pivotal for pharmaceutical manufacture. In this context, the enzymatic asymmetric amination of ketones represents a more sustainable alternative than traditional chemical procedures for chiral amine synthesis. Notable advantages are higher atom-economy and selectivity, shorter synthesis routes, milder reaction conditions and the elimination of toxic catalysts. A parallel interconnected kinetic asymmetric transformation (PIKAT) is a cascade in which one or two enzymes use the same cofactor to convert two reagents into more useful products. Herein, we describe a PIKAT catalyzed by an immobilized ω-transaminase (ωTA) in neat toluene, which concurrently combines an asymmetric transamination of a ketone with an anti-parallel kinetic resolution of an amine racemate. The applicability of the PIKAT was tested on a set of prochiral ketones and racemic α-chiral amines in a 1:2 molar ratio, which yielded elevated conversions (up to >99%) and enantiomeric excess (ee, up to >99%) for the desired products. The progress of the conversion and ee was also monitored in a selected case. This is the first report of a PIKAT using an immobilized ωTA in a non-aqueous environment.

A series of new chiral N -phosphinyl β-enamino esters and amides were successfully prepared with excellent Z -stereoselectivity (Z / E > 99:1 in nearly all cases). Group-assisted purification chemistry proved to be an efficient method for the asymmetric reduction of the resulting β-enamino esters/amides to give enantiopure β-amino esters/amides. The asymmetric reduction can be controlled efficiently by using a combination of sodium cyanoborohydride and acetic acid.

Transaminases are valuable enzymes for industrial biocatalysis and enable the preparation of optically pure amines. For these transformations they require either an amine donor (amination of ketones) or an amine acceptor (deamination of racemic amines). Herein transaminases are shown to react with aromatic β-fluoroamines, thus leading to simultaneous enantioselective dehalogenation and deamination to form the corresponding acetophenone derivatives in the absence of an amine acceptor. A series of racemic β-fluoroamines was resolved in a kinetic resolution by tandem hydrodefluorination/deamination, thus giving the corresponding amines with up to greater than 99 % ee. This protocol is the first example of exploiting the catalytic promiscuity of transaminases as a tool for novel transformations.
