Abstract
We herein report an efficient photoredox radical cyclization reaction of o-vinylaryl isocyanides with acyl chlorides to access a wide range of 2,4-disubstituted quinolines. Preliminary mechanism experiment results suggested that this reaction was initiated by an acyl radical generated from acyl chlorides through a single-electron-transfer (SET) process. This transformation showed good substrate suitability and functional group compatibility at room temperature.

Abstract
Michael addition reactions are highly useful in organic synthesis and are commonly accomplished using organocatalysts. However, the corresponding biocatalytic Michael additions are rare, typically lack synthetically useful substrate scope, and suffer from low stereoselectivity. Herein we report a biocatalytic nitro-Michael addition, catalyzed by NahE, that proceeds with low catalyst loading at room temperature in moderate to excellent enantioselectivity and high yields. A series of β-nitrostyrenes reacted with pyruvate in the presence of NahE to give, after oxidative decarboxylation, β-aryl-γ-nitrobutyric acids in up to 99 % yield without need for chromatography, providing a simple preparative-scale route to chiral GABA analogues. This reaction represents the first example of an aldolase displaying promiscuous Michaelase activity and opens the use of nitroalkenes in place of aldehydes as substrates for aldolases.

Arch Biochem Biophys 2023; 733:109471. [PMID: 36522814 PMCID: PMC9762252 DOI: 10.1016/j.abb.2022.109471] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/03/2022] [Revised: 11/19/2022] [Accepted: 11/21/2022] [Indexed: 11/27/2022]
Abstract
NahE is a hydratase-aldolase that converts o-substituted trans-benzylidenepyruvates (H, OH, or CO2-) to benzaldehyde, salicylaldehyde, or 2-carboxybenzaldehyde, respectively, and pyruvate. The enzyme is in a bacterial degradative pathway for naphthalene, which is a toxic and persistent environmental contaminant. Sequence, crystallographic, and mutagenic analysis identified the enzyme as a member of the N-acetylneuraminate lyase (NAL) subgroup in the aldolase superfamily. As such, it has a conserved lysine (Lys183) and tyrosine (Tyr155), for Schiff base formation, as well as a GXXGE motif for binding of the pyruvoyl carboxylate group. A crystal structure of the selenomethionine derivative of NahE shows these active site elements along with nearby residues that might be involved in the mechanism and/or specificity. Mutations of five active site amino acids (Thr65, Trp128, Tyr155, Asn157, and Asn281) were constructed and kinetic parameters measured in order to assess the effect(s) on catalysis. The results show that the two Trp128 mutants (Phe and Tyr) have the least effect on catalysis, whereas amino acids with bulky side chains at Thr65 (Val) and Asn281 (Leu) have the greatest effect. Changing Tyr155 to Phe and Asn157 to Ala also hinders catalysis, and the effects fall in between these extremes. These observations are put into a structural context using a crystal structure of the Schiff base of the reaction intermediate. Trapping experiments with substrate, Na(CN)BH3, and wild type enzyme and selected mutants mostly paralleled the kinetic analysis, and identified two salicylaldehyde-modified lysines: the active site lysine (Lys183) and one outside the active site (Lys279). The latter could be responsible for the observed inhibition of NahE by salicylaldehyde. Together, the results provide new insights into the NahE-catalyzed reaction.

Abstract
Biocatalysis has an enormous impact on chemical synthesis. The waves in which biocatalysis has developed, and in doing so changed our perception of what organic chemistry is, were reviewed 20 and 10 years ago. Here we review the consequences of these waves of development. Nowadays, hydrolases are widely used on an industrial scale for the benign synthesis of commodity and bulk chemicals and are fully developed. In addition, further enzyme classes are gaining ever increasing interest. Particularly, enzymes catalysing selective C-C-bond formation reactions and enzymes catalysing selective oxidation and reduction reactions are solving long-standing synthetic challenges in organic chemistry. Combined efforts from molecular biology, systems biology, organic chemistry and chemical engineering will establish a whole new toolbox for chemistry. Recent developments are critically reviewed.
