The (R)-selective chemoenzymatic dynamic kinetic resolution of primary amines was performed at 38-40 °C in MTBE, in good to high yields and with high enantiomeric excesses. These reactions associating CAL-B to octanethiol as radical racemizing agent were carried out in the presence of methyl β-methoxy propanoate as acyl donor, under photochemical irradiation at 350 nm in glassware.

Microbe Engineering to Provide Drimane-Type Building Blocks for Chiral Pool Synthesis of Meroterpenoids.

Drimane-type merosesquiterpenoids (DMT) are a class of natural products with diverse structures and broad biological activity. Classical DMT synthesis relies on atom-inefficient plant-derived chiral pool building blocks, while alternative drimane-type building blocks such as drimenol and albicanol offer more direct routes but face production challenges. In this study, we engineered a microbial platform for efficient production of these building blocks.

Article Synopsis
- Chemoenzymatic dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR) combines a metal racemization catalyst and an enzyme to effectively convert racemic compounds into enantiopure products, with compatibility between the two catalysts as a significant challenge.
- The study introduces a reliable ligand that enhances the coordination between the metal and the ligand, enabling better performance in the DKR process.
- An efficient DKR method was developed using a copper catalyst and lipase LPL-311-Celite, successfully producing high yields of chiral BINOLs and other functionalized chiral biaryls, with a proposed mechanism involving a radical-anion intermediate facilitating the reaction.

Dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR) is a key method used to prepare optically pure compounds in 100 % theoretical yield starting from racemic substrates by combining the interconversion of substrate enantiomers with an enantioselective transformation. Various chemoenzymatic DKR approaches have been developed to deracemize secondary alcohols, typically requiring an organic solvent to facilitate enantioselective acylation, primarily catalyzed by lipases, alongside racemization mediated by an achiral, non-enzymatic catalyst. Achieving both steps in an aqueous solution remained elusive.

Biocatalysis can be powerful in organic synthesis but is often limited by enzymes' substrate scope and selectivity. Developing a biocatalytic step involves identifying an initial enzyme for the target reaction followed by optimization through rational design, directed evolution, or both. These steps are time consuming, resource-intensive, and require expertise beyond typical organic chemistry.

Flutriafol, a globally utilized triazole fungicide in agriculture, is typically applied as a racemic mixture, but its enantiomers differ in bioactivity and environmental impact. The synthesis of flutriafol enantiomers is critically dependent on chiral precursors: 2,2-bisaryl-substituted oxirane [(2-fluorophenyl)-2-(4-fluorophenyl)oxirane, ] and 1,2-diol [1-(2-fluorophenyl)-1-(4-fluorophenyl)ethane-1,2-diol, ]. Here, we engineered a epoxide hydrolase (EH), obtaining mutant / with a 6.
