Simple Preparation of Rhodococcus erythropolis DSM 44534 as Biocatalyst to Oxidize Diols into the Optically Active Lactones

In the current study, we present a green toolbox to produce ecological compounds like lactone moiety. Rhodococcus erythropolis DSM 44534 cells have been used to oxidize both decane-1,4-diol (2a) and decane-1,5-diol (3a) into the corresponding γ- (2b) and δ-decalactones (3b) with yield of 80% and enantiomeric excess (ee)?=?75% and ee?=?90%, respectively. Among oxidation of meso diols, (?)-(1S,5R)-cis-3-oxabicyclo[4.3.0]non-7-en-2-one (5a) with 56% yield and ee?=?76% as well as (?)-(2R,3S)-cis-endo-3-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]dec-7-en-2-one (6a) with 100% yield and ee?=?90% were formed. It is worth mentioning that R. erythropolis DSM 44534 grew in a mineral medium containing ethanol as the sole source of energy and carbon Chirality 28:623–627, 2016.

Type II flavin-containing monooxygenases: A new class of biocatalysts that harbors baeyer-villiger monooxygenases with a relaxed coenzyme specificity

Within a newly identified set of flavin-containing monooxygenases (FMOs) from Rhodococcus jostii RHA1, we have identified three monooxygenases (FMO-E, FMO-F, and FMO-G) that are effective in catalyzing Baeyer-Villiger oxidations. These type II FMOs display relaxed coenzyme specificity by accepting both NADPH (reduced form of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate) and NADH (reduced form of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide), as a coenzyme, which is a novel and attractive feature among biocatalysts capable of conducting Baeyer-Villiger oxidations. We purified FMO-E and determined that the Michaelis constants for both coenzymes were in the micromolar range, whereas the activity was highest for NADH. By using the stopped-flow technique, formation of a peroxyflavin-enzyme intermediate was observed, which indicated that type II FMOs follow a catalytic mechanism similar to that of other class B flavoprotein monooxygenases. A set of cyclobutanones and cyclohexanones were used to probe the regio- and enantioselectivity of all three recombinant monooxygenases. The biocatalysts readily accepted small cyclic ketones, which enabled the conversion of previously poorly accepted substrates by other monooxygenases (especially norcamphor), and exhibited excellent and unique regio- and enantioselectivities. Sequence analysis revealed that type II FMOs that act as Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenases contain a unique N-terminal domain. Sequence conservation in this protein domain can be used to identify new NADH-dependent Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenases, which would facilitate future biocatalyst discovery efforts. New kid on the block: Members of a newly recognized group of sequence-related flavin-containing monooxygenases can perform Baeyer-Villiger oxidations. Their coenzyme indifference and unique specificity make them attractive biocatalysts.

Aerobic oxidative desymmetrization of meso-diols with bifunctional amidoiridium catalysts bearing chiral N-sulfonyldiamine ligands

Asymmetric aerobic oxidation of a range of meso- and prochiral diols with chiral bifunctional Ir catalysts is described. A high level of chiral discrimination ability of Cpa? -Ir complexes derived from (S,S)-1,2-diphenylethylenediamine was successfully demonstrated by desymmetrization of secondary benzylic diols such as cis-indan-1,3-diol and cis-1,4-diphenylbutane-1,4-diol, providing the corresponding (R)-hydroxyl ketones with excellent chemo- and enantioselectivities. Enantiotopic group discrimination in oxidation of symmetrical primary 1,4- and 1,5-diols gave rise to chiral lactones with moderate ees under similar aerobic conditions.

Microbial alcohol dehydrogenase screening for enantiopure lactone synthesis: Down-stream process from microtiter plate to bench bioreactor

One-pot conversion with whole cells of bacteria was performed for biooxidation of meso monocyclic (3a-b) and bicyclic diols (3c-e) into corresponding chiral lactones of bicyclo[4.3.0]nonane structure (2a-b) as well as exo- and endo-bridged lactones with the structure of [2.2.1] (3c-d) and [2.2.2] (3e). Micrococcus sp. DSM 30771 was selected as biocatalyst with significant alcohol dehydrogenase activity. Among tested strains, microbial oxidation of meso diols 3a-e catalyzed by Micrococcus sp. afforded enantiomerically pure ((+)-(2S,3R)-2c (ee = 99%), (+)-(2S,3R)-2e (ee = 99%)) or enriched ((+)-(1S,5R)-2a (ee = 90%), (-)-(1S,5R)-2b (ee = 86%), (+)-(2S,3R)-2d (ee = 80%)) lactone moieties. Comparative study with respect to microbial cultivation as well as biooxidation was undertaken to verify agreement of secondary metabolite biosynthesis in different scales: from MTP (4 mL), across shake flask (100 mL) till bioreactor (4 L). The results from biotransformations showed quite similar dependence in oxidation of all substrates 3a-e in MTP and flasks as well, thereby confirmed the validity and reasonable approach of using MTP for preliminary studies.

Catalytic Preparation of Cyclic Carboxylic Esters

Preparation of cyclic esters by hydrogenation of a carbonyl group in at least one anhydride radical —C(O)—O—C(O)— of a cyclic dicarboxylic or polycarboxylic anhydride by means of hydrogen in the presence of a homogeneous noble metal catalyst, characterized in that the hydrogenation is carried out in a homogeneous reaction mixture using an iridium catalyst. The cyclic esters are obtained in good chemical and optical yields when prochiral anhydrides are used together with chiral iridium catalysts.

The crucial role of the nitrogen substituent in the desymmetrisation of cyclic meso-imides using B-Me and B-OMe oxazaborolidine catalysts

Various cyclic meso-imides have been desymmetrised via enantioselective reduction using two chiral oxazaborolidine catalysts derived from (1R,2S)-cis-1-amino-indan-2-ol followed by the reduction of the hydroxylactam product to give the γ-lactam. The enant

Resolution of fused bicyclic ketones by a recombinant biocatalyst expressing the Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenase gene Rv3049c from Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv

Recombinant Escherichia coli B834 (DE3) pDB5 expressing the Rv3049c gene encoding a Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenase from Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv was used for regioselective oxidations of fused bicyclic ketones. This whole-cell system represents the first recombinant Baeyer-Villiger oxidation biocatalyst that effectively resolves the racemic starting materials in this series. Within biotransformations using this organism one substrate enantiomer remains in high optical purity, while the second enantiomer is oxidized to one type of regioisomeric lactone preferably.
