Chiral 2-amino-butanols (4 and 5) were obtained via the isolation of diastereomeric salt. Then, chiral compounds (6-9) were synthesized by a sequential procedure involving condensation of chiral 2-amino-butanol with ketone and dichloroacetyl chloride. All the compounds were characterized by IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and element analysis. The absolute configurations of (S)-8 was determined by X-ray crystallography.

Optically active β-amino alcohols are very useful chiral intermediates frequently used in the preparation of pharmaceutically active substances. Here, a novel cyclohexylamine oxidase (ArCHAO) was identified from the genome sequence of Arthrobacter sp. TYUT010-15 with the R-stereoselective deamination activity of β-amino alcohol. ArCHAO was cloned and successfully expressed in E. coli BL21, purified and characterized. Substrate-specific analysis revealed that ArCHAO has high activity (4.15 to 6.34 U mg?1 protein) and excellent enantioselectivity toward the tested β-amino alcohols. By using purified ArCHAO, a wide range of racemic β-amino alcohols were resolved, (S)-β-amino alcohols were obtained in >99 % ee. Deracemization of racemic β-amino alcohols was conducted by ArCHAO-catalyzed enantioselective deamination and transaminase-catalyzed enantioselective amination to afford (S)-β-amino alcohols in excellent conversion (78–94 %) and enantiomeric excess (>99 %). Preparative-scale deracemization was carried out with 50 mM (6.859 g L?1) racemic 2-amino-2-phenylethanol, (S)-2-amino-2-phenylethanol was obtained in 75 % isolated yield and >99 % ee.

Chiral amino alcohols are essential building blocks for the pharmaceutical industry, and are widely present in natural and synthetic bioactive compounds. Amine dehydrogenases (AmDHs) can asymmetrically reduce prochiral ketones with low-cost ammonia to chiral amines and water as by-products, using NAD(P)H as a cofactor under mild conditions, but hydroxy ketones with formation of chiral hydroxy amines have rarely been investigated. In this study, six new bacterial AmDHs derived from amino acid dehydrogenases (AADHs) were identified by data mining, and five out of the six enzymes were able to efficiently reduce 1-hydroxybutan-2-one (1a) to (S)-2-aminobutan-1-ol ((S)-2a) with 19-99% conversions and 99% ee. The five AmDHs were purified and biochemically characterized for reductive amination activity towards substrate 1a with the optimal pH at 8.5 or 9.0 and the optimal temperature at 45 °C, 50 °C or 55 °C, and provided reductive amination of a broad range of prochiral α-hydroxy ketones, and even of a model β-hydroxy ketone leading to β-hydroxy amine with 99% ee. Our study expands the toolbox of AmDHs in the synthesis of chiral amino alcohols.

Paragraph 0015-0016, (2019/10/04)
The invention relates to a chiral resolution method for preparing L-2-amino-1-butanol. The method concretely comprises the following steps: a) carrying out multi-step derivatization on (1S,2S)-1,2-cyclohexanediamine used as a precursor to prepare a target chiral resolving agent; b) dissolving a racemic compound 2-amino-1-butanol in an ethanol/water mixed solution, and mixing the obtained solution with equimolar amounts of the chiral resolving agent and copper chloride to precipitate a blue solid; and c) carrying out reduced pressure rotary evaporation to remove the ethanol in the mixed solution, extracting with ethyl acetate, concentrating obtained filtrate, and performing vacuum drying to obtain the optically pure levo compound 2-amino-1-butanol with the ee value reaching up to 99.0% or more. The chiral resolving agent has the advantages of simple synthesis process, mild reaction conditions, high optical purity of the product, cost saving, and suitableness for industrial resolution.
