Chiral amines are key building blocks for pharmaceuticals. Economic assessment of commercial potential of bioprocesses is needed for guiding research. Biosynthesis of (S)-α-methylbenzylamine (MBA) was selected as case study. For transamination route, transaminase coupled with glucose dehydrogenase and lactate dehydrogenase catalyzed the reaction with NADH (Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) regeneration. Amine dehydrogenase coupled with NADH oxidase, which catalyzed the reductive amination process. Comparison of biosynthesis cost by reductive amination and transamination routes was carried out. Economic assessment based on the framework of cost analysis and preliminary process information revealed that cost is greatly dependent on enzyme price. The results indicated that enhancing the activity of amine dehydrogenase by 4–5 folds can drop the unit price of reductive amination to $0.5–0.6/g, which make it competitive with transamination route.

A synthetic strategy for the preparation of two orthogonally protected methyl esters of the non-proteinogenic amino acid 2,3-l-diaminopropanoic acid (l-Dap) was developed. In these structures, the base-labile protecting group 9-fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl (Fmoc) was paired to the p-toluensulfonyl (tosyl, Ts) or acid-labile tert-butyloxycarbonyl (Boc) moieties. The synthetic approach to protected l-Dap methyl esters uses appropriately masked 2,3-diaminopropanols, which are obtained via reductive amination of an aldehyde prepared from the commercial amino acid Nα-Fmoc-O-tert-butyl-d-serine, used as the starting material. Reductive amination is carried out with primary amines and sulfonamides, and the process is assisted by the Lewis acid Ti(OiPr)4. The required carboxyl group is installed by oxidizing the alcoholic function of 2,3-diaminopropanols bearing the tosyl or benzyl protecting group on the 3-NH2 site. The procedure can easily be applied using the crude product obtained after each step, minimizing the need for chromatographic purifications. Chirality of the carbon atom of the starting d-serine template is preserved throughout all synthetic steps.
