We reported the first enzyme-catalysed, direct, three-component asymmetric Mannich reaction using protease type XIV from Streptomyces griseus (SGP) in acetonitrile. Yields of up to 92% with enantioselectivities of up to 88% e.e. and diastereoselectivities of up to 92:8 (syn:anti) were achieved under the optimised conditions. This enzyme's catalytic promiscuity expands the application of this biocatalyst and provides a potential alternative method for asymmetric Mannich reactions.
我们报道了首例使用灰色链霉菌(Streptomyces griseus)蛋白酶 XIV 在乙腈中进行的酶催化、直接、三元不对称曼尼希反应。在优化条件下,最高产率可达 92%,对映选择性最高可达 88%ee,非对映选择性最高可达 92:8(syn:anti)。该酶的催化混杂性扩展了该生物催化剂的应用,并为不对称曼尼希反应提供了一种潜在的替代方法。
