Manganese-substituted carbonic anhydrase as a new peroxidase

Carbonic anhydrase is a zinc metalloenzyme that catalyzes the hydration of carbon dioxide to bicarbonate. Replacing the active-site zinc with manganese yielded manganese-substituted carbonic anhydrase (CA[Mn]), which shows peroxidase activity with a bicar

Styrene monooxygenases (SMOs) are excellent enzymes for the production of (S)-enantiopure epoxides, but so far, only one (R)-selective SMO has been identified with a narrow substrate spectrum. Mining the NCBI non-redundant protein sequences returned a new distinct clade of (R)-selective SMOs. Among them,SeStyA fromStreptomyces exfoliatus,AaStyA fromAmycolatopsis albispora, andPbStyA fromPseudonocardiaceaewere carefully characterized and found to convert a spectrum of styrene analogues into the corresponding (R)-epoxides with up to >99% ee. Moreover, site 46 (AaStyA numbering) was identified as a critical residue that affects the enantioselectivity of SMOs. Phenylalanine at site 46 was required for the (R)-selective SMO to endow excellent enantioselectivity. The identification of new (R)-selective SMOs would add a valuable green alternative to the synthetic tool box for the synthesis of enantiopure (R)-epoxides.
Diastereoselective Alkene Hydroesterification Enabling the Synthesis of Chiral Fused Bicyclic Lactones

Palladium-catalysed diastereoselective hydroesterification of alkenes assisted by the coordinative hydroxyl group in the substrate afforded a variety of chiral γ-butyrolactones bearing two stereocenters. Employing the carbonylation-lactonization products as the key intermediates, the route from the alkenes with single chiral center to chiral THF-fused bicyclic γ-lactones containing three stereocenters was developed.
