Popis: | E. coli cells that contain overexpressed alcohol dehydrogenases (ADHs) were screened as biocatalysts for the stereoselective reduction of chloroketones 5 a–d, the corresponding halohydrins 6 a–d of which are building blocks in the synthesis of antiretroviral drugs. Among them, ADH from Sphingobium yanoikuyae was found to reduce chloroketone 5 c with a high stereoselectivity (90 % de) and conversion (85 %) to furnish threo halohydrin (R,S)-6 c. ADH from Ralstonia sp. (RasADH) was able to reduce 5 a and 5 b with complementary diastereoselectivity to provide access to both threo and erythro halohydrins through “substrate-based” stereocontrol. The RasADH-catalyzed reductions were optimized to provide (R,S)-6 a with 98 % conversion and 84 % diastereomeric excess (de) and (S,S)-6 b with 95 % conversion and 86 % de. Molecular modeling studies showed that 5 b, which features a carboxybenzyl protecting group, is able to bind to the enzyme catalytic site in an “inverted” mode in comparison to tert-butyloxycarbonyl- and methyloxycarbonyl-protected substrates 5 a and 5 c, which sheds light on the observed switching of the stereopreference. RasADH-catalyzed reductions were optimized to provide (R,S)-6 a with 98 % conversion and 84 % de and (S,S)-6 b with 95 % conversion and 86 % de. |
