Ketoreductase catalyzed stereoselective bioreduction of α-nitro ketones

We report here the stereoselective bioreduction of α-nitro ketones catalyzed by ketoreductases (KREDs) with publicly known sequences. YGL039w and RasADH/SyADH were able to reduce 23 class I substrates (1-aryl-2-nitro-1-ethanone (1)) and ten class II substrates (1-aryloxy-3-nitro-2-propanone (4)) to furnish both enantiomers of the corresponding β-nitro alcohols, with good-to-excellent conversions (up to >99%) and enantioselectivities (up to >99% ee) being achieved in most cases. To the best of our knowledge, KRED-mediated reduction of class II α-nitro ketones (1-aryloxy-3-nitro-2-propanone (4)) is unprecedented. Select β-nitro alcohols, including the synthetic intermediates of bioactive molecules (R)-tembamide, (S)-tembamide, (S)-moprolol, (S)-toliprolol and (S)-propanolol, were stereoselectively synthesized in preparative scale with 42% to 90% isolated yields, showcasing the practical potential of our developed system in organic synthesis. Finally, the advantage of using KREDs with known sequence was demonstrated by whole-cell catalysis, in which β-nitro alcohol (R)-2k, the key synthetic intermediate of hypoglycemic natural product (R)-tembamide, was produced in a space-time yield of 178 g L?1 d?1 as well as 95% ee by employing the whole cells of a recombinant E. coli strain coexpressing RasADH and glucose dehydrogenase as the biocatalyst.

C1-Symmetric 1,2-Diaminobicyclo[2.2.2]octane Ligands in Copper-Catalyzed Asymmetric Henry Reaction: Catalyst Development and DFT Studies

Chiral tetra- and bidentate ligands derived from the (R)-1,2-diaminobicyclo[2.2.2]octane scaffold were synthesized, and the influence of the N,N′-substituents of the ligand on the catalytic activity of their corresponding copper(II) complexes toward the n

The synthesis of chiral tridentate ligands from L-proline and their application in the copper(II)-catalyzed enantioselective Henry reaction

A series of chiral tridentate ligands derived from readily available enantiopure L-proline were designed and synthesized. The ligands together with Cu(OAc)2 were successfully used in asymmetric Henry reactions. Various structurally divergent aldehydes and nitromethane were converted into versatile β-nitro alcohols in MeOH at room temperature with very good yields (up to 85%) and enantioselectivities (up to 86%).

Diamine-Tethered Bis(thiourea) Organocatalyst for Asymmetric Henry Reaction

We have developed a novel multifunctional C2-symmetric biphenyl-based diamine-tethered bis(thiourea) organocatalyst, which was tested in the asymmetric Henry reaction. Under thoroughly optimized conditions, the catalyst provided exceptionally high yields and excellent enantioselectivities especially for electron-deficient aromatic and heterocyclic substrates. Due to a high affinity of the catalyst to silica gel, a simple chromatography-free nitroaldol isolation procedure was feasible. Preliminary kinetic and spectroscopic experiments were performed in order to complete the mechanistic picture of the organocatalyzed nitroaldolization process. Finally, the developed synthetic strategy was successfully applied to the catalytic enantioselective syntheses of enantiopure (S)-econazole and (R)-mirabegron a late-stage intermediate.
