    Şahin, Engin; Serencam, Hüseyin; Dertli, Enes

    Asymmetric reduction studies of heteroaryl ketones, including phenyl(pyridin-2-yl)methanone in enantioselective form with biocatalysts are very few, and chiral heteroaryl alcohols have been synthesized generally in the small scale. In this study, seven bacterial strains have been used to produce the (S)-phenyl(pyridin-2-yl)methanol in high enantiomeric excess and yield. Among the tested strains, Lactobacillus paracasei BD101, was found to be the best biocatalyst for the reducing phenyl(pyridin-2-yl)methanone to the (S)-phenyl(pyridin-2-yl)methanol at gram scale. The asymmetric bioreduction conditions were systematically optimized using L. paracasei BD101, which demonstrated excellent enantioselectivity and high level of conversion for the bioreduction reaction. (S)-phenyl(pyridin-2-yl)methanol, which is an analgesic, was produced enantiomerically pure form in the first time on gram scale using a biocatalyst. In total, 5.857 g of (S)-phenyl(pyridin-2-yl)methanol in enantiomerically pure form (>99% enantiomeric excess) was obtained in 52 h with 93% yield using whole cells of L. paracasei BD101. Enantiomerically pure (S)-phenyl (pyridin-2-yl)methanol, which is an analgesic, was first produced in the gram scale using a biocatalyst with excellent ee (>99%) and yield (93%).

    Whole cell application of Lactobacillus paracasei BD101 to produce enantiomerically pure (S)-cyclohexyl(phenyl)methanol

    Şahin, Engin; Serencam, Hüseyin; Dertli, Enes

    In this study, a total of 10 bacterial strains were screened for their ability to reduce cyclohexyl(phenyl)methanone 1 to its corresponding alcohol. Among these strains, Lactobacillus paracasei BD101 was found to be the most successful biocatalyst to reduce the ketones to the corresponding alcohols. The reaction conditions were systematically optimized for the reducing agent L paracasei BD101, which showed high enantioselectivity and conversion for the bioreduction. The preparative scale asymmetric reduction of cyclohexyl(phenyl)methanone (1) by L paracasei BD101 gave (S)-cyclohexyl(phenyl)methanol (2) with 92% yield and >99% enantiomeric excess. The preparative scale study was carried out, and a total of 5.602 g of (S)-cyclohexyl(phenyl)methanol in high enantiomerically pure form (>99% enantiomeric excess) was produced. L paracasei BD101 has been shown to be an important biocatalyst in asymmetric reduction of bulky substrates. This study demonstrates the first example of the effective synthesis of (S)-cyclohexyl(phenyl)methanol by the L paracasei BD101 as a biocatalyst in preparative scale.
