Immobilization and Properties of Lipase from Candida rugosa on Electrospun Nanofibrous Membranes with Biomimetic Phospholipid Moities

Reported here is a protocol to fabricate a biocatalyst with high enzyme loading and activity retention, from the conjugation of electrospun nanofibrous membrane having biomimetic phospholipid moiety and lipase. To improve the catalytic efficiency and activity of the immobilized enzyme, poly（acrylonitrile-co-2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine）s（PANCMPCs） were, respectively, electrospun into nanofibrous membranes with a mean diameter of 90 nm, as a support for enzyme immobilization. Lipase from Candida rugosa was immobilized on these nanofibrous membranes by adsorption. Properties of immobilized lipase on PANCMPC nanofibrous membranes were compared with those of the lipase immobilized on the polyacrylonitrile（PAN） nanofibrous and sheet membranes, respectively. Effective enzyme loading on the nanofibrous membranes was achieved up to 22.0 mg/g, which was over 10 times that on the sheet membrane. The activity retention of immobilized lipase increased from 56.4% to 76.8% with an increase in phospholipid moiety from 0 to 9.6%（molar fraction） in the nanofibrous membrane. Kinetic parameter Km was also determined for free and immobilized lipase. The Km value of the immobilized lipase on the nanofibrous membrane was obviously lower than that on the sheet membrane. The optimum pH was 7.7 for free lipase, but shifted to 8.3-8.5 for immobilized lipases. The optimum temperature was determined to be 35 ℃ for the free enzyme, but 42-44℃ for the immobilized ones, respectively. In addition, the thermal stability, reusability, and storage stability of the immobilized lipase were obviously improved compared to the free one.

手性铜(Ⅱ)-席夫碱配合物催化苯乙烯不对称环丙烷化反应

Twelve chiral copper(Ⅱ) Schiff base complexes, derived from (R) (+) 2 amino 1,1 diaryl 1 propanol with substituted salicylaldehydes, were examined as a catalyst for asymmetric cyclopropanation of styrene with ethyl diazoacetate. It was found that the substituents at 3 and 5 positions of salicylaldehyde in the ligands had great effects on catalytic activity and enantioselectivity of the catalyst. The complex with strong electron withdrawing group (NO 2) at 5 position and the smallest stereo hinder (H) at 3 position of salicylaldehyde showed highly catalytic activity and enantioselectivity, up to ee =87 4% for trans and ee =82 8% for cis isomers respectively, and the ratio 39/61 of cis to trans isomers was obtained at 40 ℃ with 1,2 dichloroethane as solvent.     

Efficient transesterification 4-hydroxytetrahydropyran immobilized lipase resolution of 2-（4-chlorophenyl）- with magnetically separable

We report an efficient kinetic resolution of racemic 2-（4-chlorophenyl）-4-hydroxytetrahydro-pyran （CLP-4-HTHP） via Pseudomonas cepacia lipase （PSL）-catalyzed transesterification, where PSL is immobilized on a core-shell MnFe204@SiO2-（CH2）3-NH2 carrier and used as a magnetically separable catalyst. The as-synthesized PSL/MnFe204@SiO2-（CH2）3-NH2 catalyst exhibits enhanced catalytic activity for resolving racemic CLP-4-HTHP to the corresponding optically pure （2R,4S）-CLP-4-HTHP compared to the free PSL. The ees for the former is 2.3 times larger than that for the latter under optimized conditions （99.4% and 44.1%, respectively）, although the eep for them are same （99.2%）. Meanwhile, the PSL/MnFe204@SiO2-（CH2）3-NH2 catalyst possesses a high saturate magnetization of 59.7 emu/g and could be easily recovered by magnetic separation and reused. The catalytic activity in six recycling tests did not significantly decrease, suggesting its great potential for industrial applications.     

Synthesis and Characterization of Amphiphific Block Copolymer Containing PVP and Poly（5-benzyloxytrimethylene carbonate）

Amphiphilic copolymer of 5-benzyloxytrimethylene carbonate （BTMC） with poly （vinyl pyrrolidone） （PVP） was successfully synthesized using immobilized porcine pancreas lipase （IPPL） or SnOct2 as catalyst. Hydroxyl terminated PVP, synthesized with 2-mercaptoethanol as a chain transfer reagent, was employed as a rnacroinitiator. The resulting copolymers were characterized by GPC, ^1H NMR and IR. Increasing the BTMC/PVP-OH feed ratio （[B]/[P]） resulted in the increase of Mn of corresponding copolymers and the decrease of Mw/Mn. Immobilized enzyme has comparable catalytic activity to SnOct2 for the copolymerization.     

Acetalization of carbonyl compounds with 2, 2, 4-trimethyl-1, 3- pentanedio catalyzed by novel carbon based solid acid catalyst

The synthesis of 2, 4-diisopropyl-5,5-dimethy1- 1.3-dioxane through the acetalization of isobutyraldehyde with 2, 2, 4-trimethy1-1,3-pentanediol （TMPD） catalyzed by the novel carbon based acid was first carried out. High conversion （≥98%） and specific selectivity were obtained using the novel carbon based acid, which kept high activity after it was reused 5 times. Moreover. the catalyst could be used to catalyze the acetalization and ketalization of different aldehydes and ketones with superior yield. The yield of several products was over 90%. The novel heterogeneous catalyst has the distinct advantages of high activity, strikingly simple workup procedure, non-pollution, and reusability, which will contribute to the success of the green process greatly.

Enzymatic dissymmetrization of meso-2,3-dimethylbutane-1,4-diol and its diacetate. Synthesis of scalemic (–)-lasiol

Acylation of meso-2,3-dimethylbutane-1,4-diol with vinyl acetate in the presence of porcine pancreatic lipase (PPL) leads to the dextrorotatory monoacetate of the above diol with enatiomeric excess (ee) 58—64%. Absolute configuration of this scalemic specimen was determined by its sequential transformation to levorotatory lasiol, a metabolite of the Lasius ants. Partial hydrolysis of the corresponding meso-diacetate, mediated by PPL or by the Pseudomonas sp. lipase affords the monoacetate of opposite configuration with ee 72—86%, a formal intermediate in the synthesis of (3S,4R)-faranal. Other microbial lipases used are distinctive in low chemoselectivity.     

Ultrasound promoted enantioselective transesterification of 3-hydroxy-3-(2-thienyl) propanenitrile catalyzed by lipase

(S)-3-hydroxy-3-(2-thienyl) propanenitrile, which is the key chiral building block for the synthesis of (S)-duloxetine, was successfully prepared via enantioselective transesterification catalyzed by lipase under ultrasound irradiation. Compared with conventional shaking, the enzyme activity and enantioselectivity were dramatically enhanced under ultrasound irradiation. Under optimum reaction conditions (solvent: n-hexane, ultrasound power: 150?W, a_w: 0.33, temperature: 40°C), Pseudomonas sp. lipase exhibited an excellent catalytic performance (enzyme activity: 81.5?μmol?g^?1?min^?1, E-value: 65.4). The reaction achieved its equilibrium in approximately 7?h with a conversion of 53.9% and high enantiopurity (99% ee) of (S)-3-hydroxy-3-(2-thienyl) propanenitrile could be obtained.     

Enantioselective Synthesis of Chiral Isotopomers of 1‐Alkanols by a ZACA–Cu‐Catalyzed Cross‐Coupling Protocol

Chiral compounds arising from the replacement of hydrogen atoms by deuterium are very important in organic chemistry and biochemistry. Some of these chiral compounds have a non‐measurable specific rotation, owing to very small differences between the isotopomeric groups, and exhibit cryptochirality. This particular class of compounds is difficult to synthesize and characterize. Herein, we present a catalytic and highly enantioselective conversion of terminal alkenes to various β and more remote chiral isotopomers of 1‐alkanols, with ≥99 % enantiomeric excess (ee), by the Zr‐catalyzed asymmetric carboalumination of alkenes (ZACA) and Cu‐catalyzed cross‐coupling reactions. ZACA‐in situ iodinolysis of allyl alcohol and ZACA‐in situ oxidation of TBS‐protected ω‐alkene‐1‐ols protocols were applied to the synthesis of both (R)‐ and (S)‐difunctional intermediates with 80–90 % ee. These intermediates were readily purified to provide enantiomerically pure (≥99 % ee) compounds by lipase‐catalyzed acetylation. These functionally rich intermediates serve as very useful synthons for the construction of various chiral isotopomers of 1‐alkanols in excellent enantiomeric purity (≥99 % ee) by introducing deuterium‐labeled groups by Cu‐catalyzed cross‐coupling reactions without epimerization.

Syntheses of Enantiopure Aliphatic Secondary Alcohols and Acetates by Bioresolution with Lipase B from <em>Candida antarctica</em>

The lipase B from Candida antarctica (Novozym 435^?, CALB) efficiently catalyzed the kinetic resolution of some aliphatic secondary alcohols: (±)-4-methylpentan-2-ol (1), (±)-5-methylhexan-2-ol (3), (±)-octan-2-ol (4), (±)-heptan-3-ol (5) and (±)-oct-1-en-3-ol (6). The lipase showed excellent enantioselectivities in the transesterifications of racemic aliphatic secondary alcohols producing the enantiopure alcohols (>99% ee) and acetates (>99% ee) with good yields. Kinetic resolution of rac-alcohols was successfully achieved with CALB lipase using simple conditions, vinyl acetate as acylating agent, and hexane as non-polar solvent.     

Enantioselectivity of enzymatic acylation of some structurally various racemic alcohols in anhydrous aprotic media

Partial acylation of (R,S)-3,7-dimethyloctan-1-ol (1) and (R,S)-7-methoxy-3,7-dimethyloctan-1-ol (2) with vinyl acetate catalyzed by the lipase fromCandida cylindracea affords in good yields the correspondingS-configured acetates with 92–98% enantiomeric excess (ee). Under similar conditions, racemic α-cyclogeraniol (3), drim-7-en-11-ol, methyl 4-(3-hydroxy-2-methylpropyl)benzoate, and its η⁶-chromium(tricarbonyl) complex (6) are acylated with rather poor (and, for the two latter, opposite) enantioselectivity, whereas (R,S)-2,4∶3,5-di-O-benzylidenexylitol remains unaffected. Racemic isoborneol (8) and 2-nitro-1-phenylethanol also remain almost or completely unconverted. Attempts to perform enantioselective acylation of alcohols 3 and 8 with Ac₂O in the presence of porcine pancreatic lipase (PPL) proved equally unsuccessful. By contrast, the PPL-catalyzed acylation of alcohol 6 with vinyl acetate at 17% conversion affords the levorotatory acetate (S)-6a withca. 100%ee. PPL-Mediated partial acylation of (R,S)-pantolactone with Ac₂O, followed by mild deacylation of the resultingR acetate, gives (R)-(-)-pantolactone of 97% enantiomeric purity in 60% overall yield.

Lipase-catalyzed enantioselective transesterification of 3-hydroxy-3-(2-thienyl) propanenitrile in liquid carbon dioxide

The transesterification of 3-hydroxy-3-(2-thienyl) propanenitrile catalyzed by Pseudomonas fluorescens lipase (PFL) in liquid carbon dioxide (CO₂) was reported. Compared with that in organic solvent (n-hexane), the catalytic performance of PFL was dramatically enhanced in liquid CO₂. Under the optimal reaction conditions, PFL exhibited an excellent enantioselectivity (E-value: 92.9) with a high enzyme activity (82.5?μmol/g/min). Besides, the remained (S)-3-hydroxy-3-(2-thienyl) propanenitrile with high enantiomeric purity (ee?>?99%) was obtained in 4?h when the conversion was about 52%.

A chemo-enzymatic approach to optically active 3-(4-methoxycarbonyl)phenyl-2-methyl-1-propanols

With a view to obtaining both enantiomers of 3-(4-methoxycarbonyl)phenyl-2-methyl-1-propanols, (R)-1 and (S)-1, from the respective racemate, (±)-1, the hydrolysis of its acetate, (±)-2, in the presence of porcine pancreatic lipase (PPL) has been studied. The optical puriry of (R)-1 and (S)-1 thus obtained was unsatisfactory (ee 22–27%), and could not be increased beyondee 33% by repeated enzymatic hydrolysis of the unconverted fraction of the acetate. In contrast with this, the biohydrogenation of 3-(4-methoxycarbonyl)phenyl-2-methyl-2-propen-1-ol (4) with fermentingSaccharomyces cerevisiae afforded (S)-1 of considerably higher optical purity (ee 41–90 %, depending on the strain). The stereochemical correlation of the products obtained in the two biochemical processes under study shows that the PPL-catalyzed hydrolysis of (±)-2 produces preferably (R)-1.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Lipase-mediated deracemization of secondary 1-phenyl-substituted propargylic alcohols of different topology

Acetylation of (±)-1-phenylnon-2-yn-1-ol, (±)-1-phenylhept-1-yn-3-ol, and (±)-1-phenylundec-4-yn-3-ol ((±)-5) in the presence of lipase from Candida cylindracea (CCL) proceeds slowly to give products with ee 20%. The acetates of these alcohols are hydrolyzed in the presence of porcine pancreatic lipase (PPL) equally unsatisfactorily. The (⁶-arene)tricarbonylchromium complex of alcohol (±)-5 is acetylated in the presence of CCL up to 22% conversion to give (R)-acetate whose oxidative decomplexation followed by saponification results in alcohol (R)-(–)-5 with ee 95%. The configuration of alcohols (–)-5 and (+)-5 was determined by NMR spectroscopy of their esters with (R)- and (S)-Mosher"s acids.
