We investigated Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenase (BVMO)-mediated synthesis of alkyl formate esters, which are important flavor and fragrance products. A recombinant fungal BVMO from Aspergillus flavus was found to transform a selection of aliphatic aldehydes into alkyl formates with high regioselectivity. Near complete conversion of 10 mm octanal was achieved within 8 h with a regiomeric excess of ∼80 %. Substrate concentration was found to affect specific activity and regioselectivity of the BVMO, as well as the rate of product autohydrolysis to the primary alcohol. More than 80 % conversion of 50 mm octanal was reached after 72 h (TTN nearly 20 000). Biotransformation on a 200 mL scale under unoptimized conditions gave a space-time yield (STY) of 4.2 g L d (3.4 g L d extracted product).
我们研究了拜耳-维利格单加氧酶（BVMO）介导的甲酸烷基酯的合成，甲酸烷基酯是重要的香料和香精产品。发现来自黄曲霉的重组真菌BVMO能以高区域选择性将多种脂肪醛转化为甲酸烷基酯。在8小时内实现了10 mmol辛醛接近完全转化，区域异构体过量约80%。发现底物浓度会影响BVMO的比活性和区域选择性，以及产物自水解为伯醇的速率。72小时后50 mmol辛醛的转化率超过80%（总转化数接近20000）。在未优化条件下200 mL规模的生物转化时空产率（STY）为4.2 g L⁻¹ d⁻¹（提取产物为3.4 g L⁻¹ d⁻¹）。
