Enantiopure d-phenylglycine and its derivatives are an important group of chiral amino acids with broad applications in thepharmaceutical industry. However, the existing synthetic methods for d-phenylglycine mainly rely on toxic cyanide chemistry and multistep processes. To provide green and safe alternatives, we envisaged cascade biocatalysis for the one-pot synthesis of d-phenylglycine from racemic mandelic acid, styrene, and biobased l-phenylalanine, respectively. Recombinant Escherichia coli (LZ110) was engineered to coexpress four enzymes to catalyze a 3-step reaction in one pot, transforming mandelic acid (210 mM) to give enantiopure d-phenylglycine in 29.5 g L?1 (195 mM) with 93% conversion. Using the same whole-cell catalyst, twelve other d-phenylglycine derivatives were also produced from the corresponding mandelic acid derivatives in high conversion (58–94%) and very high ee (93–99%). E. coli (LZ116) expressing seven enzymes was constructed for the transformation of styrene to enantiopure d-phenylglycine in 80% conversion via a one-pot 6-step cascade biotransformation. Twelve substituted d-phenylglycines were also produced from the corresponding styrene derivatives in high conversion (45–90%) and very high ee (92–99%) via the same cascade reactions. A nine-enzymeexpressing E. coli (LZ143) was engineered to transform biobased l-phenylalanine to enantiopure d-phenylglycine in 83% conversion via a one-pot 8-step transformation. Preparative biotransformations were also demonstrated. The high-yielding synthetic methods use cheap and green reagents (ammonia, glucose, and/or oxygen), and E. coli whole-cell catalysts, thus providing green and useful alternative methods for manufacturing d-phenylglycine.

Paragraph 0031, (2017/05/02)
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a manufacturing method of an optically active aminonitrile compound suitable for manufacturing optically active amino acid or the like. SOLUTION: An aminonitrile compound having an enantiomer excess ratio deviated to any one of S body and R body in absolute configuration is precipitated by reacting a primary amine compound such as benzhydryl amine, an aldehyde compound such as paratolualdehyde and hydrogen cyanide or a salt thereof in presence of base (DBU or the like) in a solvent. Optically active amino acid is obtained by hydrolyzing the resulting optically active aminonitrile compound. SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 COPYRIGHT: (C)2017,JPOandINPIT
Spontaneous formation and amplification of an enantioenriched α-amino nitrile: A chiral precursor for Strecker amino acid synthesis

Without the addition of any chiral substances, the spontaneous formation of an enantioenriched α-amino nitrile (up to 96% ee), which is a chiral precursor for Strecker amino acid synthesis, has been achieved in combination with conglomerate formation. The frequency of the formation of enantiomorphs exhibits an approximate stochastic distribution, i.e., l-form occurred 21 times and d-form occurred 22 times, which fulfils the conditions necessary for spontaneous absolute asymmetric synthesis.

Mutant α-amino-ε-caprolactam (ACL) racemase (L19V/L78T) from Achromobacter obae with improved substrate specificity toward phenylalaninamide was obtained by directed evolution. The mutant ACL racemase and thermostable mutant D-amino acid amidase (DaaA) from Ochrobactrum anthropi SV3 co-expressed in Escherichia coli (pACLmut/pDBFB40) were utilized for synthesis of (R)-phenylalanine and non-natural (R)-phenylalanine derivatives (4-OH, 4-F, 3-F, and 2-F-Phe) by dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR). Recombinant E. coli with DaaA and mutant ACL racemase genes catalyzed the synthesis of (R)-phenylalanine with 84% yield and 99% ee from (RS)-phenylalaninamide (400 mM) in 22 h. (R)-Tyrosine and 4-fluoro-(R)-phenylalanine were also efficiently synthesized from the corresponding amide compounds. We also co-expresed two genes encoding mutant ACL racemase and L-amino acid amidase from Brevundimonas diminuta in E. coli and performed the efficient production of various (S)-phenylalanine derivatives. Moreover, 2-aminophenylpropionitrile was converted to (R)-phenylalanine by DKR using a combination of the non-stereoselective nitrile hydratase from recombinamt E. coli and mutant ACL racemase and DaaA from E. coli encoding mutant ACL racemase and DaaA genes.
