Palladium(II)-catalyzed carboxylation of chiral olefins 6a-d has been examined under various conditions. In the weak basic condition ($K_{2}CO_3$), 7a-d were obtained in good yields. Alternatively, in the strong basic condition, pyrrolidinones 8a-d were obtained resulting in excellent yields and with high diastereoselectivity.

(R)-[3,5-Bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl] ethanol is a key chiral intermediate for the synthesis of aprepitant. In this paper, an efficient synthetic process for (R)-[3,5- bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl] ethanol was developed via the asymmetric reduction of 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl) acetophenone, catalyzed by Leifsonia xyli CCTCC M 2010241 cells using isopropanol as the co-substrate for cofactor recycling. Firstly, the substrate and product solubility and cell membrane permeability of biocatalysts were evaluated with different co-substrate additions into the reaction system, in which isopropanol manifested as the best hydrogen donor of coupled NADH regeneration during the bioreduction of 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl) acetophenone. Subsequently, the optimization of parameters for the bioreduction were undertaken to improve the effectiveness of the process. The determined efficient reaction system contained 200mM of 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl) acetophenone, 20% (v/v) of isopropanol, and 300 g/l of wet cells. The bioreduction was executed at $30^{\circ}C$ and 200 rpm for 30 h, and 91.8% of product yield with 99.9% of enantiometric excess (e.e.) was obtained. The established bioreduction reaction system could tolerate higher substrate concentrations of 3,5- bis(trifluoromethyl) acetophenone, and afforded a satisfactory yield and excellent product e.e. for the desired (R)-chiral alcohol, thus providing an alternative to the chemical synthesis of (R)-[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl] ethanol.

Ethyl (S)-3-hydroxy-3-(2-thienyl) propanoate ((S)-HEES) acts as a key chiral intermediate for the blockbuster antidepressant drug duloxetine, which can be achieved via the stereoselective bioreduction of ethyl 3-oxo-3-(2-thienyl) propanoate (KEES) that contains a 3-oxoacyl structure. The sequences of the short-chain dehydrogenase/reductases from Chryseobacterium sp. CA49 were analyzed, and the putative 3-oxoacyl-acyl-carrier-protein reductase, ChKRED12, was able to stereoselectively catalyze the NADPH-dependent reduction to produce (S)-HEES. The reductase activity of ChKRED12 towards other substrates with 3-oxoacyl structure were confirmed with excellent stereoselectivity (>99% enantiomeric excess) in most cases. When coupled with a cofactor recycling system using glucose dehydrogenase, the ChKRED12 was able to catalyze the complete conversion of 100 g/l KEES within 12 h, yielding the enantiopure product with >99% ee, showing a remarkable potential to produce (S)-HEES.

$(R)-\beta-acetylmercaptoisobutyric$ acid (RAM), a chiral compound, is an important intermediate for the chemical synthesis of various antihypertensive and congestive heart failure drugs. Microorganisms capable of converting $(R,S)-\beta-acetylmercaptoisobutyric$ acid ((R,S)-ester) to RAM were screened from soil microorganisms. A strain of Pseudomonas sp. 1001 screened from a soil sample was selected to be the best. Cells showed an activity of 540 U/mL from culture broth and the enzyme was thermostable up to $70^{\circ}C$. This strain could produce RAM asymmetrically from (R,S)-ester.

Using racemic (R,S)-2-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-methylbutyramide, an intermediate for the chiral pyrethroid insecticide Esfenvalerate, as a sole nitrogen source in a minimal medium, several strains with high enatioselectivity (${\geq}98%$) were isolated by enrichment techniques. One of the strains, LG 31-3, was identified as Burkholderia multivorans, based on physiological and morphological tests by a standardized Biolog station for carbon source utilization. A novel amidase was purified from B. mutivorans LG 31-3 and characterized. The enzyme exhibited (S)-selective amidase activity on racemic (R,S)-2-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-methylbutyramide. Addition of the racemic amide induced the production of the enantioselective amidase. The molecular mass of the amidase on SDS-PAGE analysis was shown to be 50 kDa. The purified amidase was subjected to proteolytic digestion with a modified trypsin. The N-terminal and internal amino acid sequences of the purified amidase showed a high sequence homology with those deduced from a gene named YP_366732.1 encoding indole acetimide hydrolase from Burkholderia sp. 383.

에스터라제 EM2L8 유전자를 E. coli 균에서 발현하고 에스터라제 활성을 분석한 결과, $40-45^{\circ}C$에서 최적의 효소활성을 보였다. $15^{\circ}C$에서 최대활성의 45% 활성을 보였고 $15-45^{\circ}C$ 사이의 활성화에너지는 4.9 kcal/mol로 계산됨으로써 전형적인 저온 적응효소인 것으로 밝혀졌다. 또한, $4^{\circ}C$에서 장기보관해도 효소활성이 전혀 줄어들지 않음을 통해서 저온에서 안정한 효소임을 알게 되었다. 반응액에 에탄올, 메탄올, 아세톤을 15% 농도까지 첨가해도 효소활성이 줄어들지 않았으며 DMSO의 경우, 40% 농도까지 첨가해도 효소활성이 유지되는 것으로 나타났다. 이 효소 40 U을 Tris-HCl 용액(1.2 mL, pH 9.0)에 넣고 $30^{\circ}C$에서 (R,S)-ECHB(0.5%, 38 mM)의 분해반응을 수행한 결과, 기질이 가수분해되어 CHBacid가 생성되며 기질의 분해속도는 $6.8\;{\mu}mole/h$로 계산되었다. (R)-ECHB 보다 (S)-ECHB 기질을 빠르게 분해하였으며 전환수율이 80%일 때, e.e.s 값이 40%로 측정되었다. 반응액에 DMSO를 10% (v/v) 농도로 각각 첨가한 결과, 기질의 분해 속도는 $10.4\;{\mu}mole/h$로 증가되었다. 하지만 DMSO의 유무와 상관없이 전환수율에 따른 e.e.s 값은 유사하게 나타났다. 결론적으로 이 효소는 저온과 각종 유기용매 하에서도 높은 안정성과 활성을 갖고 있기 때문에 각종 의약품의 유기합성공정에서 효소촉매로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Ethyl (S)-4-chloro-3-hydroxybutyrate is an intermediate for the synthesis of Atorvastatin, a chiral drug used for hypercholesterolemia. A Rhodococcus erythropolisstrain (No.7) able to convert 4-chloro-3-hydroxybutyronitrile into 4-chloro-3-hydroxybutyric acid has recently been isolated from soil. This activity has been regarded as having been caused by the successive actions of the nitrile hydratase and amidase. In this instance, the corresponding amidase gene was cloned from the R. erythropolis strain and expressed in Escherichia coli cells. A soluble active form of amidase enzyme was obtained at $18^{\circ}C$. The Ni column-purified recombinant amidase was found to have a specific activity of 3.89 U/mg toward the substrate isobutyramide. The amidase was found to exhibit a higher degree of activity when used with mid-chain substrates than with short-chain ones. Put differently, amongst the various amides tested, isobutyramide and butyramide were found to be hydrolyzed the most rapidly. In addition to amidase activity, the enzyme was found to exhibit acyltransferase activity when hydroxyl amine was present. This dual activity has also been observed in other enzymes belonging to the same amidase group (E.C. 3.5.1.4). Moreover, the purified enzyme was proven to be able to enantioselectively hydrolyze 4-chloro-3-hydroxybutyramide into the corresponding acid. The e.e. value was measured to be 52% when the conversion yield was 57%. Although this e.e. value is low for direct commercial use, molecular evolution could eventually result in this amidase being used as a biocatalyst for the production of ethyl (S)-4-chloro-3-hydroxybutyrate.

(2S,3R)-3-hydroxyhomoserine lactone (HSL)은 생리학적 활성을 가지는 다양한 종류의 화합물을 합성하기 위한 중간체로 활용되어 왔다. 본 논문에서는 OBO ester로 보호된 바이닐글라이신 유도체에 이중알콜화 반응을 수행하여 효율적인 HSL 합성 결과를 보고하고자 한다. 바이닐글라이신의 비고리 conformation은 크기가 큰 OBO ester에 의해 조절되었으며 N-inside conformation을 통해 이중알콜화 반응이 진행됨으로써 높은 anti 선택성(> 10 : 1)을 얻을 수 있었다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 N-Cbz-L-serine을 출발물질로 사용하여 총 7단계 34%의 수율로 HSL을 합성할 수 있었다. 본 연구의 결과는 amino diol 구조를 가지는 다양한 생리활성 천연물들의 입체선택적인 합성에 유용하게 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
