BVMO-catalysed dynamic kinetic resolution of racemic benzyl ketones in the presence of anion exchange resins

4-Hydroxyacetophenone monooxygenase from Pseudomonas fluorescens ACB was employed in the presence of a weak anion exchange resin to perform dynamic kinetic resolutions of racemic benzyl ketones with high conversions and good optical purities. Different parameters that affect to the efficiency of the enzymatic Baeyer-Villiger oxidation and racemisation were analyzed in order to optimize the activity and selectivity of the biocatalytic system.

Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenase-catalyzed kinetic resolution of racemic α-alkyl benzyl ketones: enzymatic synthesis of α-alkyl benzylketones and α-alkyl benzylesters

The application of three BVMOs for the enantioselective oxidation of 3-phenylbutan-2-ones with different substituents in the aromatic moiety is described. By choosing the appropriate biocatalyst and substrate combination, chiral ketones and esters can be obtained with excellent enantiopurities. This methodology could also be applied to the resolution of racemic α-alkyl benzylketones with longer alkyl chains as well as with two substituted α-substituted benzylacetones. A kinetic analysis revealed that the BVMOs studied effectively convert all tested compounds showing that the enzymes are tolerant towards the substrate structure while being highly enantioselective. These properties render BVMOs as valuable biocatalysts for the preparation of compounds with high interest in organic synthesis.
