Research paper thumbnail of Optimization of a biocatalytic single-step alkene cleavage of aryl alkenes

Tetrahedron, 2007

Molecular oxygen was the only oxidant required. All positive substrates had a CC bond conjugated to an aromatic system, all other compounds tested not fulfilling this requirement

Research paper thumbnail of Oxidative Enzymatic Alkene Cleavage: Indications for a Nonclassical Enzyme Mechanism

In case of a monooxygenase mechanism, one oxygen atom in the cleavage product(s) originates from water and one from molecular oxygen. On the other hand, both oxygen atoms of one molecule O 2 are incorporated in the dioxygenase pathway via a dioxetane or related 1,2-dioxo-cyclic intermediate. We report here that mechanistic investigations of the alkene JA8097096 Scheme 2. Proposed Alternative Enzymatic Mechanism for Alkene Cleavage

Research paper thumbnail of Asymmetric synthesis of chiral 2-hydroxy ketones by coupled biocatalytic alkene oxidation and CC bond formation

In the overall reaction, an aromatic alkene was converted to a chiral 2-hydroxy ketone. In the first step, the olefin trans-anethole was converted to para-anisaldehyde and acetaldehyde by an aqueous extract of the white rot fungus Trametes hirsuta G FCC 047. The selective oxidative cleavage of the carbon-carbon double bond was achieved using molecular oxygen as a substrate. In a second step p-anisaldehyde was ligated to acetaldehyde to yield either (R)-or (S)-2-hydroxy-1-(4-methoxyphenyl)-propanone. The reaction was catalyzed by the enantiocomplementary C C bond forming enzymes benzaldehyde lyase and benzoylformate decarboxylase, respectively.
