Abstract
The stereochemistry of the drug molecule is gaining greater therapeutic importance and thus much attention was drawn in synthesis of chiral compounds by the pharmaceutical industry. In this study Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells immobilized on functionalized alginate beads, catalyze the bio-reduction of prochiral ketones 1a–12a to their corresponding chiral alcohols 1b–12b in higher yields of 60–99% and.excellent optical purity 75–97%. The synthesized chiral azido alcohols 10b-12b were further subjected to hydrogenation using Palladium(Pd) nanoparticles (≤5 nm), to obtain chiral amino alcohols 10c–12c of therapeutic importance. Thus, a simple, green and inexpensive continuous chemo-enzymatic process has been developed in the synthesis of chiral alcohols/amino alcohols to enhance the scope of the methodology towards industrial application.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Molecular Catalysis B: Enzymatic is an international forum for researchers and product developers in the applications of whole-cell and cell-free enzymes as catalysts in organic synthesis. Emphasis is on mechanistic and synthetic aspects of the biocatalytic transformation.
Papers should report novel and significant advances in one or more of the following topics;
Applied and fundamental studies of enzymes used for biocatalysis;
Industrial applications of enzymatic processes, e.g. in fine chemical synthesis;
Chemo-, regio- and enantioselective transformations;
Screening for biocatalysts;
Integration of biocatalytic and chemical steps in organic syntheses;
Novel biocatalysts, e.g. enzymes from extremophiles and catalytic antibodies;
Enzyme immobilization and stabilization, particularly in non-conventional media;
Bioprocess engineering aspects, e.g. membrane bioreactors;
Improvement of catalytic performance of enzymes, e.g. by protein engineering or chemical modification;
Structural studies, including computer simulation, relating to substrate specificity and reaction selectivity;
Biomimetic studies related to enzymatic transformations.
