Various mono- and disubstituted cinnamic acid derivatives and aromatic carboxylic acids with saturated side chains were incubated mainly with Bacillus, Candida, Hansenula, and Saccharomyces strains. The cinnamic acids carrying a hydroxy- and/or a methoxy group at the 3- and/or 4-position of the benzene ring were decarboxylated with high yields. Most of the reactions were terminated within 24 to 48 h. Substitution at other ring positions afforded also decarboxylation, but at much lower yields. Derivatives with other residues like methyl, chloride, or bromide were not transform ed to the respective styrene. None of the saturated aromatic carboxylic acids could be decarboxylated by the strains used.

In this study, we present the synthesis of chiral fragrance aldehydes, which was tackled by a combination of chemo-catalysis and a multi-enzymatic in vivo cascade reaction and the development of a highly versatile high-throughput assay for the enzymatic reduction of carboxylic acids. We investigated a biocompatible metal-catalyzed synthesis for the preparation of α or β substituted cinnamic acid derivatives which were fed directly into the biocatalytic system. Subsequently, the target molecules were synthesized by an enzymatic cascade consisting of a carboxylate reduction, followed by the selective C-C double bond reduction catalyzed by appropriate enoate reductases. We investigated a biocompatible oxidative Heck protocol and combined it with cells expressing a carboxylic acid reductase from Neurospora crassa (NcCAR) and an ene reductase from Saccharomyces pastorianus for the production fragrance aldehydes.

Cinnamic acids in their PIL form are more reactive than in their pure acid forms toward photoisomerization. This knowledge is successfully used for establishing an efficient and practical synthetic protocol for synthesizing Z-cinnamic derivatives.
