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.

Synthesis of (+)-goniothalamin and its enantiomer by combination of lipase catalyzed resolution and alkene metathesis

(+)-Goniothalamin has been synthesized by lipase catalyzed resolution of (1E)-1-phenylhexa-1,5-dien-3-ol using vinyl acrylate as acyl donor followed by ring closing metathesis of the formed (1R)-1-[(E)-2-phenylvinyl]but-3-enyl acrylate. The unreacted alcohol from the resolution, (1E,3S)-1-phenylhexa-1,5-dien-3-ol, was esterified non-enzymatically, and used for synthesis of (−)-goniothalamin.     

Reaction kinetics of the esterification of lauric acid in iso-octane using an immobilized biocatalyst

The kinetics of the esterification of lauric acid with geraniol catalyzed by a commercially immobilized lipase preparation fromMucor miehei, Lipozyme, was studied in well-stirred flasks under conditions of no external mass transfer limitations. It was shown that the reaction is inhibited by lauric acid and the reaction mechanism can be described as a Ping-Pong Bi-Bi with Dead-End inhibition caused by lauric acid.

Influence of the support on the reaction course of tributyrin hydrolysis catalyzed by soluble and immobilized lipases

Lipases from different origins have been immobilized in supports chosen by its different aquaphilicity and used as biocatalysts for the hydrolysis of tributyrin. The changes of the concentration of tri-, di-, monobutyrin, glycerol, and butyric acid during the reactions catalyzed by soluble, as well as immobilized, lipases were evaluated by gas chromatography. The experimental data were fitted to a simple kinetic model for the sequential reaction of tributyrin hydrolysis. The calculated apparent rate constants were different for the biocatalysts used and were apparently related to diffusional effects and aquaphilicity of the supports. Maximal yields of dibutyrin were found with the soluble Candida lipase, whereas the highest yield of monobutyrin (90%) was obtained with the least aquaphylic derivative (Candida-Celite).     

Microwave-assisted solvent-free lipase catalyzed transesterification of β-ketoesters

Abstract

Lipase-catalyzed transesterification was used as an efficient tool for the interconversion of β-ketoesters. Catalytic activity of commercial lipase B from Candida antarctica (Novozym 435) was evaluated in systems involving non activated acyl donors, and enhanced using microwave irradiation. Interestingly, the combination of CAL B in microwave irradiation worked excellent in solvent-free conditions, thus assuring a highly competitive and environment-friendly process with high yields (up to 96%) in competitive times (< 2h). The combination of biocatalysis with solvent-free systems and microwave assistance is currently scarcely used, and may represent a powerful synergy for preparative reactions.

A lipase catalyzed condensation reaction with a tricyclic diketone: yet another example of biocatalytic promiscuity

Novozym 435 (a commercially available immobilized form of Candida antarctica lipase B) was found to catalyze a condensation reaction of 5-hydroxy-endo-tricyclo[5.2.1.0^2,6]deca-4,8-dien-3-one with acetaldehyde (enzymatically produced from vinyl acetate in situ) under low water conditions, in presence of 10% organic co-solvent (N,N-dimethyl formamide or pyridine), to form a bis-adduct. Even though the condensation reaction occurred with pyridine (acting as a base catalyst) in the presence of acetaldehyde and in the absence of enzyme, the reaction was very slow as compared to the enzymatic process. Thus, while the non-enzymatic process took 4 days to achieve 100% conversion; in presence of enzyme it was possible within 4 h.
