Whole cells in enantioselective reduction of benzyl acetoacetate
نویسندگان
چکیده
The β-ketoester benzyl acetoacetate was enantioselectively reduced to benzyl (S)-3-hydroxybutanoate by seven microorganism species. The best result using free cells was obtained with the yeast Hansenula sp., which furnished 97% ee and 85% of conversion within 24 h. After immobilization in calcium alginate spheres, K.marxianus showed to be more stable after 2 cycles of reaction.

Efficient synthesis of a key intermediate of DV-7751 via optical resolution or microbial reduction.
Two efficient and practical methods of synthesis of the C-10 substituent of DV-7751 (1), a novel quinolone carboxylic acid, were established. The first method utilizes an optical resolution of racemic 8-amino-6-benzyl-6-azaspiro[3.4]octane (13), while the second employs an enantioselective microbial reduction of 6-benzyl-5,8-dioxo-6-azaspiro[3.4]octane (8b). The enantiomeric excess of (S)-8-ami...

Treatment (>/=24 h) of cultured bovine adrenal chromaffin cells with ketoacidosis-related concentrations (>/=3 mM) of acetoacetate (but not beta-hydroxybutyrate, acetone, and acidic medium) caused a time- and concentration-dependent reduction of cell surface (125)I-insulin binding by ~38%, with no change in the K(d) value. The reduction of (125)I-insulin binding returned to control nontreated l...

The abilities of Silybum marianum cell culture to biotransform benzaldehyde to benzyl alcohol in three culture systems were compared. Callus cultures of Silybum marianum were established from seedlings, and healthy suspensions and immobilized cultures grown on the Murashige and Skoog medium. S. marianum cells were immobilized in both agar beads and fiber cotton ...

Detailed herein is the photochemical organocatalytic enantioselective α-alkylation of aldehydes with (phenylsulfonyl)alkyl iodides. The chemistry relies on the direct photoexcitation of enamines to trigger the formation of reactive carbon-centered radicals from iodosulfones, while the ground-state chiral enamines provide effective stereochemical control over the radical trapping process. The ph...
