Asymmetric Synthesis of N-Substituted α-Amino Esters from α-Ketoesters via Imine Reductase-Catalyzed Reductive Amination.


ABSTRACT: N-Substituted α-amino esters are widely used as chiral intermediates in a range of pharmaceuticals. Here we report the enantioselective biocatalyic synthesis of N-substituted α-amino esters through the direct reductive coupling of α-ketoesters and amines employing sequence diverse metagenomic imine reductases (IREDs). Both enantiomers of N-substituted α-amino esters were obtained with high conversion and excellent enantioselectivity under mild reaction conditions. In addition >20 different preparative scale transformations were performed highlighting the scalability of this system.
