Application of Transaminases in a Disperse System for the Bioamination of Hydrophobic Substrates

The challenging bioamination of hydrophobic substrates has been attained through the employment of a disperse system consisting of a combination of a low polarity solvent (e. g. isooctane or methyl-tert-butylether), a non-ionic surfactant and a minimal amount of water. In these conditions, amine transaminases (ATA) were shown to efficiently carry out the reductive amination of variously substituted cyclohexanones, providing good conversions often coupled with a superior stereoselectivity if compared with the corresponding chemical reductive amination. An array of synthetically useful 4-substituted aminocyclohexanes was consequentially synthesized through biocatalysis, analyzed and stereochemically characterized. (Figure presented.).

A direct catalytic method is described for the α,β-desaturation of N-protected lactams to their conjugated unsaturated counterparts under mildly acidic conditions. The reaction is consistently operated at room temperature and tolerates a wide range of functional groups, showing reactivity complementary to that of prior desaturation methods. Lactams with various ring sizes and substituents at different positions all reacted smoothly. The synthetic utility of this method is demonstrated in a concise synthesis of Rolipram. In addition, linear amides also prove to be competent substrates, and the phthaloyl-protected product serves as a convenient precursor to access various conjugated carboxylic acid derivatives. Strong bases are avoided in this desaturation approach, and the key is to merge soft enolization with a Pd-catalyzed oxidation process.

The oximation of a variety of carbonyl compounds was efficiently carried out with DOWEX(R)50WX4/NH2OH·HCl system. The reactions were performed in ethanol to give Z-aldoximation isomers of aldehydes and E-oximaton of acetophenone derivatives in a perfect selectively. The oximation of compounds with two carbonyl groups was carried out selectively on one carbonyl moiety. Also, the oximation of aldehydes over ketones has been accomplished successfully by this system.
