- Development of surface-engineering strategies, which are facile, versatile, and mild, are highly desirable in tailor-made functionalization of high-performance bioinspired nanocomposites. We herein disclose for the first time a general organocatalytic strategy for the functionalization and hydrophobization of nacre-mimetic nanocomposites, which includes vide supra key aspects of surface engineering. The merging of metal-free catalysis and the design of nacre-mimetic nanocomposite materials were demonstrated by the organocatalytic surface engineering of cellulose nanofibrils/clay nanocomposites providing the corresponding bioinspired nanocomposites with good mechanical properties, hydrophobicity, and useful thia-, amino, and olefinic functionalities.

- The total synthesis of capsaicin analogues was performed in one pot, starting from compounds that can be derived from lignin. Heterogeneous palladium nanoparticles were used to oxidise alcohols to aldehydes, which were further converted to amines by an enzyme cascade system, including an amine transaminase. It was shown that the palladium catalyst and the enzyme cascade system could be successfully combined in the same pot for conversion of alcohols to amines without any purification of intermediates. The intermediate vanillyl-amine, prepared with the enzyme cascade system, could be further converted to capsaicin analogues without any purification using either fatty acids and a lipase, or Schotten-Baumann conditions, in the same pot. An aldol compound (a simple lignin model) could also be used as starting material for the synthesis of capsaicin analogues. Using l-alanine as organocatalyst, vanillin could be obtained by a retro-aldol reaction. This could be combined with the enzyme cascade system to convert the aldol compound to vanillylamine in a one-step one-pot reaction.

- The biocatalytic synthesis of chiral amines has become a valuable addition to the chemists' tool-box. However, the efficient asymmetric synthesis of functionalised amines bearing more than one stereocentre, such as 1,3-amino alcohols, remains challenging. By employing a keto reductase (KRED) and two enantiocomplementary amine transaminases (ATA), we developed a biocatalytic route towards all four diastereomers of 4-amino-1-phenylpentane-2-ol as a representative molecule bearing the 1,3-amino alcohol functionality. Starting from a racemic hydroxy ketone, a kinetic resolution using an (S)-selective KRED provided optically active hydroxy ketone (86% ee) and the corresponding diketone. Further transamination of the hydroxy ketone was performed by either an (R)- or an (S)-selective ATA, yielding the (2R,4R)- and (2R,4S)-1,3-amino alcohol diastereomers. The remaining two diastereomers were accessible in two subsequent asymmetric steps: the diketone was reduced regio- and enantioselectively by the same KRED, which yielded the (S)-configured hydroxy ketone. Eventually, the subsequent transamination of the crude product with (R)- and (S)-selective ATAs yielded the remaining (2S,4R)and (2S,4S)-diastereomers, respectively.

Integrated Heterogeneous Metal/Enzymatic Multiple Relay Catalysis for Eco-Friendly and Asymmetric Synthesis

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Organic synthesis is in general performed using stepwise transformations where isolation and purification of key intermediates is often required prior to further reactions. Herein we disclose the concept of integrated heterogeneous metal/enzymatic multiple relay catalysis for eco-friendly and asymmetric synthesis of valuable molecules (e.g., amines and amides) in one-pot using a combination of heterogeneous metal and enzyme catalysts. Here reagents, catalysts, and different conditions can be introduced throughout the one-pot procedure involving multistep catalytic tandem operations. Several novel cocatalytic relay sequences (reductive amination/amidation, aerobic oxidation/reductive amination/amidation, reductive amination/kinetic resolution and reductive amination/dynamic kinetic resolution) were developed. They were next applied to the direct synthesis of various biologically and optically active amines or amides in one-pot from simple aldehydes, ketones, or alcohols, respectively.
