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.

Continuous-flow production of chiral intermediates plays an important role in the development of building blocks for Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs), being α-amino acids and their derivatives widely applied as building blocks. In this work we developed two different strategies for the synthesis of intermediates used on the synthesis of levetiracetam/brivaracetam and ethambutol. The results obtained show that methionine methyl ester can be continuously converted to the desired ethambutol intermediate by RANEY Nickel dessulfurization/reduction strategy whereas levetiracetam/brivaracetam intermediates could be synthesized by both RANEY Nickel (without H2) and Pd/C-H2 approach or by photochemical desulfurization.
