We have developed an electrocatalytic asymmetric hydrogenation reaction using a proton-exchange membrane (PEM) reactor that employs a polymer electrolyte fuel cell and industrial electrolysis technologies. Reasonable enantioselectivities and excellent current efficiencies were obtained in the asymmetric hydrogenation of α-phenylcinnamic acid under mild conditions without adding a supporting electrolyte. The current density was crucial to achieving the improved results observed.

In the enantioselecitve hydrogenation of (E)-2-methyl-2butenoic acid (1) over a cinchonidine-modified Pd/C catalyst, the addition of hydrogen preferentially proceeds from the Re-Si enantioface of the C=C double bond of 1 to yield (S)-2methylbutanoic acid ((S)-3). Double bond migration of 1 takes place under the reaction conditions and is followed by immediate hydrogenation to yield 3 in a poor enantiomeric purity. Deuterium labeling experiments at 0.1 MPa and 1.9 MPa of D2verified the previous assumption of competitive double bond migration. The combination of isotopic labeling experiments and chiral analysis revealed that the double bond migration of 1 proceeds with the same enantiofacial differentiation as the hydrogenation of 1. Thus, interaction of 1 with cinchonidine adsorbed on the Pd surface may control the configuration of the double bond migration and the hydrogenation.

Arylmalonate decarboxylase (AMDase) catalyzes the cofactor-free asymmetric decarboxylation of prochiral arylmalonic acids and produces the corresponding monoacids with rigorous R selectivity. Alteration of catalytic cysteine residues and of the hydrophobic environment in the active site by protein engineering has previously resulted in the generation of variants with opposite enantioselectivity and improved catalytic performance. The substrate spectrum of AMDase allows it to catalyze the asymmetric decarboxylation of small methylvinylmalonic acid derivatives, implying the possibility to produce short-chain 2-methylalkanoic acids with high optical purity after reduction of the nonactivated C=C double bond. Use of diimide as the reductant proved to be a simple strategy to avoid racemization of the stereocenter during reduction. The developed chemoenzymatic sequential cascade with use of R- and S-selective AMDase variants produced optically pure short-chain 2-methylalkanoic acids in moderate to full conversion and gave both enantiomers in excellent enantiopurity (up to 83 % isolated yield and 98 % ee).
