Stereoselective Biosynthesis of Bichiral Amino Alcohols from Diketone via Difunctionalization.

ABSTRACT: Chiral amino alcohols are vital in many biologically active molecules and natural products and are crucial building blocks for the pharmaceutical industry. However, the chemosynthesis of chiral amino alcohols, particularly bichiral amino alcohols, faces challenges related to chemoselectivity and enantioselectivity. Here, a dual-enzyme cascade pathway for the synthesis of bichiral amino alcohols through difunctionalization, exhibiting both high chemo- and stereoselectivity, was proposed for the first time. Among them, NADPH-dependent meso-diaminopyrimidate dehydrogenase from Proteus vulgaris (PvDAPDH) exhibited (R)-selective reductive amination activity, converting ketones into chiral amines; natural glucose dehydrogenase from Bacillus megaterium (BmGDH) not only
