Popis: | A practical enzymatic synthesis of a doubly chiral key compound, (4 R ,6 R )-4-hydroxy-2,2,6-trimethylcyclohexanone, starting from the readily available 2,6,6-trimethyl-2-cyclohexen-1,4-dione is described. Chirality is first introduced at the C-6 position by a stereoselective enzymatic hydrogenation of the double bond using old yellow enzyme 2 of Saccharomyces cerevisiae , expressed in Escherichia coli , as a biocatalyst. Thereafter, the carbonyl group at the C-4 position is reduced selectively and stereospecifically by levodione reductase of Corynebacterium aquaticum M-13, expressed in E. coli , to the corresponding alcohol. Commercially available glucose dehydrogenase was also used for cofactor regeneration in both steps. Using this two-step enzymatic asymmetric reduction system, 9.5 mg of (4 R ,6 R )-4-hydroxy-2,2,6-trimethylcyclohexanone/ml was produced almost stoichiometrically, with 94% enantiomeric excess in the presence of glucose, NAD + , and glucose dehydrogenase. To our knowledge, this is the first report of the application of S. cerevisiae old yellow enzyme for the production of a useful compound. |
