Two new monooxygenase biocatalysts, the Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenase BVMO145 and the flavin monooxygenase FMO401 from Almac library, have been found to catalyse the enantiodivergent oxidation of sulfides bearing N-heterocyclic substituents into sulfoxides under mild and green conditions. The biocatalyst BVMO145 provides ()-sulfoxides while the flavin monooxygenase FMO401 affords ()-sulfoxides with good conversions and high ee.
已发现两种新型单加氧酶生物催化剂,即来自阿尔马克文库的拜耳-维利格单加氧酶BVMO145和黄素单加氧酶FMO401,可在温和且绿色的条件下催化含N-杂环取代基的硫化物对映选择性氧化为亚砜。生物催化剂BVMO145生成()-亚砜,而黄素单加氧酶FMO401则能提供具有良好转化率和高对映体过量值的()-亚砜。
