Saturated α-substituted β-ketoesters are important building blocks in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Herein, we report a one-pot biosynthesis of α-substituted β-ketoesters via Knoevenagel condensation and reduction of the obtained unsaturated alkenes in situ, catalyzed by a single ene-reductase (NerA). A series of inexpensive and readily available aldehydes and 1,3-diketones were condensed and reduced by NerA in aqueous solutions at room temperature. We also noted that low loadings (3 mg/mL) of NerA were sufficient to facilitate the cascade process; both E and Z isomeric intermediates could be reduced effectively, and the overall yield was improved up to 95%. Meanwhile, the method could be applied to a gram preparative-scale synthesis of pharmaceutical intermediates. This process conformed to the concepts of green chemistry and showed advantages for the synthesis of high value saturated α-substituted β-ketoesters.

通过单酶串联Knoevenagel缩合-还原反应生物合成α-取代的β-酮酸酯

饱和的α-取代的β-酮酸酯是药物和农用化学品合成中的重要组成部分。在这里,我们报道了通过单烯键还原酶(NerA)催化的Knoevenagel缩合和原位还原获得的不饱和烯烃一锅法合成α-取代的β-酮酸酯。在室温下,NerA在水溶液中将一系列廉价且易于获得的醛和1,3-二酮缩合并还原。我们还注意到,NerA的低负载量(3 mg / mL)足以促进级联过程。既Ëž异构中间体可以有效减少,总收率提高到95%。同时,该方法可应用于克制备规模的医药中间体的合成。该方法符合绿色化学的概念,并显示出合成高价值的饱和α-取代的β-酮酸酯的优势。
