Microbial Stereoselective One-Step Conversion of Diols to Chiral Lactones in Yeast Cultures

چکیده
It has been shown that whole cells of different strains of yeast catalyze stereoselective oxidation of meso diols to the corresponding chiral lactones. Among screening-scale experiments, Candida pelliculosa ZP22 was selected as the most effective biocatalyst for the oxidation of monocyclic diols 3a–b with respect to the ratio of high conversion to stereoselectivity. This strain was used in the preparative oxidation, affording enantiomerically-enriched isomers of lactones: (+)-(3aR,7aS)-cis-hexahydro-1(3H) -isobenzofuranone (2a) and (+)-(3aS,4,7,7aR)-cis-tetrahydro-1(3H)-isobenzofuranone (2b). Scaling up the culture growth, as well as biotransformation conditions has been successfully accomplished. Among more bulky substrates, bicyclic diol 3d was totally converted into enantiomerically-pure exo-bridged (+)-(3aR,4S,7R,7aS)-cis-tetrahydro-4,7methanoisobenzofuran -1(3H)-one (2d) by Yarrovia lipolytica AR71. Microbial oxidation of diol 3f by Candida sake AM908 and Rhodotorula rubra AM4 afforded optically-pure cis-3butylhexahydro-1(3H) -isobenzofuranone (2f), however with low conversion.

A chemoenzymatic method was applied to obtain optically pure alkyl-substituted δ-lactones. First, chemical Baeyer-Villiger oxidation of dihydrojasmone (1) was carried out, affording two new alkyl-substituted δ-lactones: 3,4-dihydro-5-methyl-6-pentyl-2H-pyran-2-one (2) and 5-methyl-6-pentyl-1,13-dioxabicyclo[4.1.0]heptan-2-one (3). In the next step, fungal strains were investigated as biocatalys...

An efficient catalytic system to oxidize quantitatively aliphatic diols using Trametes versicolor laccase and TEMPO has been developed in aqueous medium. Oxidations have occurred in a non-stereoselective fashion but with complete regioand/or monoselectivity, obtaining lactones with excellent purity after simple extraction. This catalytic system has been demonstrated to be scalable, compatible w...

We report a protocol for the highly efficient iridium-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of racemic a-substituted lactones via dynamic kinetic resolution. Using Ir-SpiroPAP (R)-1d as a catalyst, a wide range of chiral diols were prepared in a high yield (80–95%) with a high enantioselectivity (up to 95% ee) under mild reaction conditions. This protocol was used for enantioselective syntheses of...

Due to the steric hindrance of the starting prochiral ketones, the preparation of chiral 1,4-diaryl-1,4-diols through the asymmetric hydrogen transfer reaction has been mainly restricted to the use of metal-based catalysts, oxazaborolidines, or organocatalysts. Herein, we demonstrated the versatility of oxidoreductases, finding overexpressed alcohol dehydrogenase from Ralstonia sp. (E. coli/Ras...
