Regio- and stereoselective multi-enzymatic aminohydroxylation of ?-methylstyrene using dioxygen, ammonia and formate.


ABSTRACT: We report an enzymatic route for the formal regio- and stereoselective aminohydroxylation of ?-methylstyrene that consumes only dioxygen, ammonia and formate; carbonate is the by-product. The biocascade entails highly selective epoxidation, hydrolysis and hydrogen-borrowing alcohol amination. Thus, ?-methylstyrene was converted into 1R,2R and 1S,2R-phenylpropanolamine in 59-63% isolated yields, and up to >99.5: <0.5 dr and er.
