: Lipases in the native or immobilized form have commonly been used as catalysts in the chemical and pharmaceutical industry. One of the widely available enzyme catalysts on the market is lipase from Burkholderia cepacia (BCLs), previously called Pseudomonas cepacia (PCLs). This enzyme is applied, among others, in the stereoselective acylation of molecules to achieve chiral pure enantiomers of drugs or their building blocks. In this study, Amano lipase PS (APS-BCL), which is a commercial lipase from Burkholderia cepacia (BC) was tested. The lipolytic activity of APS-BCL by hydrolysis of vegetable oils and enantioselective activity of APS-BCL by the kinetic resolution of (R,S)-1-phenylethanol with using isopropenyl acetate as an acyl donor were evaluated. An effect of reaction media with different logP values (t-butyl methyl ether, dichloromethane, diisopropyl ether, toluene, cyclohexane, n-hexane, isooctane and n-heptane) on the enantioselective activity of lipase was also studied. The high value of the enantiomeric ratio (E =308.5) with the utilization of isopropenyl acetate was achieved. Whereas, the best reaction medium turned out to be diisopropyl ether, C =47.9%, eep =98%, ees =90%, after 24 h of incubation. Moreover, the influence of ω6/ω9 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) ratio in commercial (peanut, camelina, rape, pumpkin seed, walnut, sesame, avocado, rice, corn, black cumin, hemp, safflower, grape seed) oils was investigated for the lipase activity. For the first time, the cut-off limit of ω6/ω9 ratio was proposed. The ratio equal to or higher than 2.3 allows achieving higher lipolytic activity.

The principal goal of basic research in chemical synthesis is the development of efficient tools for functional group transformations and for the assembly of building blocks during the construction of molecules with increasing complexity. Traditionally, new approaches in this area have focused on the quest for new reaction pathways, reagents, or catalysts. Comparably less effort has been devoted to utilize the reaction medium as a strategic parameter, although the use of solvents is often crucial in synthetically useful transformations. The first choice for a solvent during the development of a synthetic procedure is usually an organic liquid, which is selected on the basis of its protic or aprotic nature, its polarity, and the temperature range in which the reaction is expected to proceed. Once the desired transformation is achieved, yield and selectivity are further optimized in the given medium by variation of temperature, concentration, and related process parameters. At the end of the reaction, the solvent must be removed quantitatively from the product using conventional workup techniques like aqueous extraction, distillation, or chromatography. If the synthetic procedure becomes part of a large-scale application, the solvent can sometimes be recycled, but at least parts of it will ultimately end up in the waste stream of the process. Increasing efforts to develop chemical processes with minimized ecological impact and to reduce the emission of potentially hazardous or toxic organic chemicals have stimulated a rapidly growing interest to provide alternatives to this classical approach of synthesis in solution. At the same time, researchers have started to realize that the design and utilization of multifunctional reaction media can add a new dimension to the development of synthetic chemistry. In particular, efficient protocols for phase separations and recovery of reagents and catalysts are urgently required to provide innovative flow schemes for environmentally benign processes or for high-throughput screening procedures. Fluorous liquid phases and supercritical carbon dioxide (sc CO2) have received particular attention among the various reaction media that are discussed as alternatives to classical organic solvents. The aim of this chapter is to compare these two media directly and to critically evaluate their potential for synthetic organic chemistry.

AbstractThe present study describes an efficient chemoenzymatic synthesis of enantiopure (S)-Practolol, a selective β-adrenergic receptor blocker. Prior to the synthesis of the target, a synthetic protocol for (RS)-N-4-(3-chloro-2-hydroxypropoxy)phenylacetamide, an essential precursor, was developed. Various commercial lipases were screened for the kinetic resolution of (RS)- N-4-(3-chloro-2-hydroxypropoxy)phenylacetamide using toluene as solvent and vinyl acetate as an acyl donor. Among various lipases screened, Pseudomonas cepacia sol-gel AK showed the highest enantioselectivity (96% enantiomeric excess with 50% conversion), affording (S)-1-(4-acetamidophenoxy)-3-chloropropan-2-yl acetate. Optimization of the reaction parameters was carried out in order to find the best-suited conditions for the biocatalysis. Furthermore, the enantiopure intermediate was hydrolyzed and the resulting product was reacted with isopropylamine to afford (S)-Practolol. This biocatalytic procedure depicts a green technology for the synthesis of (S)-Practolol with better yield and enantiomeric excess.

Derivatives of 1-phenoxy-2-alkanols were kinetically resolved by esterification with irreversible and reversible acyl donors using lipase B from Candida antarctica (Novozyme 435) as a catalyst. To optimize the relative rate of reaction (the E-value), esterifications in eight different solvents with different water activities were performed. For 3-bromo-1-phenoxy-2-propanol (1), the E-values in all the solvents were higher when the water activity was increased, while the E-values for 1-phenoxy-2-pentanol (2) and 3-chloro-1-phenoxy-2-propanol (3) decreased by increasing water activity. The water content of the various reaction media with the same water activity was determined. Solvents such as 1,4-dioxane, acetonitrile, and tetrahydrofuran contained much more water than hexane, carbon tetrachloride, cyclohexane, toluene, and benzene. At high-water activity, the high-water content of the former group of solvents resulted in termination of the reaction at low conversion. The reason seemed to be that the acyl donor and possibly also the produced esters were hydrolyzed. This was not the case when the esterification was performed in water-immiscible solvents with the same water activity.Key words: kinetic resolution, E-value, solvents, water activity, water content.

Sustainable methods for producing enantiopure drugs have been developed. Chlorohydrins as building blocks for several β-blockers have been synthesized in high enantiomeric purity by chemo-enzymatic methods. The yield of the chlorohydrins increased by the use of catalytic amount of base. The reason for this was found to be the reduced formation of the dimeric by-products compared to the use of higher concentration of the base. An overall reduction of reagents and reaction time was also obtained compared to our previously reported data of similar compounds. The enantiomers of the chlorohydrin building blocks were obtained by kinetic resolution of the racemate in transesterification reactions catalyzed by Candida antarctica Lipase B (CALB). Optical rotations confirmed the absolute configuration of the enantiopure drugs. The β-blocker (S)-practolol ((S)-N-(4-(2-hydroxy-3-(isopropylamino)propoxy)phenyl)acetamide) was synthesized with 96% enantiomeric excess (ee) from the chlorohydrin (R)-N-(4-(3-chloro-2 hydroxypropoxy)phenyl)acetamide, which was produced in 97% ee and with 27% yield. Racemic building block 1-((1H-indol-4-yl)oxy)-3-chloropropan-2-ol for the β-blocker pindolol was produced in 53% yield and (R)-1-((1H-indol-4-yl)oxy)-3-chloropropan-2-ol was produced in 92% ee. The chlorohydrin 7-(3-chloro-2-hydroxypropoxy)-3,4-dihydroquinolin-2(1H)-one, a building block for a derivative of carteolol was produced in 77% yield. (R)-7-(3-Chloro-2-hydroxypropoxy)-3,4-dihydroquinolin-2(1H)-one was obtained in 96% ee. The S-enantiomer of this carteolol derivative was produced in 97% ee in 87% yield. Racemic building block 5-(3-chloro-2-hydroxypropoxy)-3,4-dihydroquinolin-2(1H)-one, building block for the drug carteolol, was also produced in 53% yield, with 96% ee of the R-chlorohydrin (R)-5-(3-chloro-2-hydroxypropoxy)-3,4-dihydroquinolin-2(1H)-one. (S)-Carteolol was produced in 96% ee with low yield, which easily can be improved.

AbstractTwo lipases, Novozyme 435 (lipase B from Candida Antarctica) and Lipozyme TL IM (Thermomyces lanuginosus) were used successfully for the kinetic resolution of racemic 1-(2-furyl)-3-pentanol, the key intermediate in synthesis of the bark beetle pheromone, chalcogran. The desired S-(+)-enantiomer was prepared in enantiomeric excesses higher than 98 % and with yields of 26.3 % and 32.5 %, respectively. Methyl tert-butyl ether and vinyl acetate were found to be the best reaction media and the acetyl donor to achieve fast and effective resolution.
