Modular polyketide synthases (PKSs) are enzymatic assembly lines that fuse carbon fragments into complex chiral products. Here, their synthetic logic is employed to chemoenzymatically generate two-stereocenter triketides. Each of the four stereoisomers was constructed in a stereocontrolled manner using C-acylation and two PKS ketoreductases possessing opposite stereoselectivities.

An iterative protocol was developed for highly diastereo- and enantioselective construction of high-order 1,3-polyols via iridium-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of β-alkyl-β-keto esters. The protocol involves four operations - asymmetric hydrogenation, hydroxy protection, ester hydrolysis, and C-acylation - and the catalyst loading can be as low as 0.005 mol %. The configurations of all stereogenic centers of 1,3-polyols are controlled by the catalyst. By the use of this protocol, a formal total synthesis of the polyketide cyanolide A was achieved with high diastereoselectivity and enantioselectivity.

Herein, we developed a new and practical catalytic system for the carbonylative synthesis of β-hydroxyesters. By using simple, cheap, and air-stable cobalt(II) bromide as the catalyst, combined with pyrazole and catalytic amount of manganese, active cobalt complex can be generated in situ and can catalyze various epoxides to give the corresponding β-hydroxyesters in moderate to excellent yields. Mechanism studies indicate that pyrazole plays a crucial role in this reaction. Moreover, with the addition of the catalytic amount of manganese, the active cobalt catalyst can be regenerated, which provides a possibility for reusing the cobalt catalyst.

A unified strategy for the construction of prevalent 1,3,5,...n (OH, Me) motifs based on consecutive copper-catalyzed asymmetric conjugate borylation (ACB) and methylation (ACA) reactions involving α,β-unsaturated 2-acyl-N-methylimidazoles is described. Good yields and high diastereoselectivities have been obtained in ACA and ACB reactions for both matched and mismatched pairs as illustrated in the synthesis of syn/anti and anti/anti (Me, OTBS, Me) and (OH, OTBS, Me) motifs.

An imidazolium-cobaltate-based heterogeneous catalyst exhibits advantages over its homogeneous counterpart in the synthesis of β-hydroxyesters from epoxides. However, leaching of cobaltate from the catalytic support decreases the selectivity and recyclability of the catalyst. To overcome such drawbacks, a bis-imidazolium-based covalent triazine framework (CTF) is employed as a catalytic support for the hydroesterification catalyst to reduce cobaltate leaching by the intramolecular anion stabilization effect of the multi-imidazolium moiety, resulting in an excellent selectivity for the β-hydroxyester and unprecedented recyclability.

Diastereoisomer separation of the (1S)-camphanic acid 2-isopropylphenylphosphanyl-phenyl ester 1 exemplifies the potential of (1S)-camphanoyl chloride for enantiomer separation of hydroxyl-functional asymmetric phosphanes. Esterification of lithium 2′-phosphanylbiphenyl-2-olates, generated from the respective 2-OH or 2-OSiMe3 precursors 2aOH and 2b–fSi, furnished the 2-(1S)-camphanoyloxy-biphenylphosphanes 3a–c as 1:1 mixtures of diastereomers with low barriers for interconversion by rotation around the C–C axis (ΔG# = 70–73 kJ mol–1 for 3a and 3c by 31P VT NMR spectroscopy). The P-asymmetric compounds 3d–f form 1:1 mixtures of stereoisomers. There is a tendency to cocrystallization of two preferred diastereoisomers, as shown by the crystal structure analyses of 3dD and 3fD, and in solution, there is a tendency toward partial isomerization to the sterically less-favored atropisomers. The [RhCl(cod)(3dD)] complex 4dD, however, seems stable in solution. Excess 2dLi reacted with (1S)-camphanoyl chloride preferentially to form the (SP,Rax,1S) isomer, which was separated by crystallization as enantiopure 3dE, characterized by single-crystal XRD. Preliminary screening tests of this ligand in Rh-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenations of N-(1-phenylvinyl)acetamide allowed high conversion and up to 59 % ee. Hydrosilylation of acetophenone proceeded with 78 % conversion and 48 % ee; Suzuki–Miyaura couplings of 1-bromo-2-naphthol with PhB(OH)2, in the presence of 3b/[Pd(OAc)2], gave yields up to 98 %.

Expanding the substrate scope of enzymes opens up new routes for synthesis of valuable chemicals. Ketone-functionalized fatty acid derivatives and corresponding chiral alcohols are valuable building blocks for the synthesis of a variety of chemicals including pharmaceuticals. The alcohol dehydrogenase from Candida parapsilosis (cpADH5) catalyzes the reversible oxidations of chiral alcohols and has a broad substrate range; a challenge for cpADH5 is to convert alcohols with small substituents (methyl or ethyl) next to the oxidized alcohol moiety. Molecular docking studies revealed that W286 is located in the small binding pocket and limits the access to substrates that contain aliphatic chains longer than ethyl substituent. In the current manuscript, we report that positions L119 and W286 are key residues to boost oxidation of medium chain methyl 3-hydroxy fatty acids; interestingly the enantiopreference toward methyl 3-hydroxybutyrate was inverted. Kinetic characterization of W286A showed a 5.5 fold increase of Vmax and a 9.6 fold decrease of Km values toward methyl 3-hydroxyhexanoate (Vmax: 2.48 U mg? and Km: 4.76 mm). Simultaneous saturation at positions 119 and 286 library yielded a double mutant (L119M/W286S) with more than 30-fold improved activity toward methyl 3-hydroxyoctanoate (WT: no conversion; L119M/W286S: 30 %) and inverted enantiopreference (S-enantiomer ≥99 % activity decrease and R-enantiomer >20-fold activity improvement) toward methyl 3-hydroxybutyrate.

S-Adenosyl methionine (SAM)-dependent C-methyltransferases are responsible for the C2-methylation of 3-ketoacyl-acyl carrier protein (ACP) intermediates to give the corresponding 2-methy-3-ketoacyl-ACP products during bacterial polyketide biosynthesis mediated by trans-AT polyketide synthases that lack integrated acyl transferase (AT) domains. A coupled ketoreductase (KR) assay was used to assign the stereochemistry of the C-methyltransferase-catalyzed reaction. Samples of chemoenzymatically generated 3-ketopentanoyl-ACP (9) were incubated with SAM and BonMT2 from module 2 of the bongkrekic acid polyketide synthase. The resulting 2-methyl-3-ketopentanoyl-ACP (10) was incubated separately with five (2R)- or (2S)-methyl specific KR domains. Analysis of the derived 2-methyl-3-hydroxypentanoate methyl esters (8) by chiral GC-MS established that the BonMT2-catalyzed methylation generated exclusively (2R)-2-methyl-3-ketopentanoyl-ACP ((2R)-10). Identical results were also obtained with three additional C-methyltransferases-BaeMT9, DifMT1, and MupMT1-from the bacillaene, difficidin, and mupirocin trans-AT polyketide synthases

The Noyori catalyst RuCl2(R-Binap)(dmf)n has been successfully encapsulated in C-FDU-12 by using the active chlorosilane Ph2Cl2Si as the silylating agent. 31P-NMR results show that there is no strong interaction between the molecular catalyst and the solid support, thus the encapsulated molecular catalyst could move freely in the nanoreactor during the catalytic process. The solid catalyst exhibits high activity and enantioselectivity for the asymmetric hydrogenation of a series of β-keto esters due to the preserved intrinsic properties of RuCl2(R-Binap)(dmf)n encapsulated in the nanoreactor. The solid catalyst could be recycled by simple filtration and be reused at least four times.

The chiral tridentate spiro P-N-S ligands (SpiroSAP) were developed, and their iridium complexes were prepared. Introduction of a 1,3-dithiane moiety into the ligand resulted in a highly efficient chiral iridium catalyst for asymmetric hydrogenation of β-alkyl-β-ketoesters, producing chiral β-alkyl-β-hydroxyesters with excellent enantioselectivities (95-99.9 % ee) and turnover numbers of up to 355 000. Bulkyness is the key: New chiral tridentate spiro P-N-S ligands (SpiroSAP) bearing a conformationally constrained 1,3-dithiane moiety were developed. Their iridium catalysts showed excellent enantioselectivities and activity (TON up to 355 000) for asymmetric hydrogenation of β-alkyl-β-ketoesters.
