ighly Stereoselective Reductions of α-alkyl-1,3-diketones and α- Alkyl-β-keto esters Catalyzed by Isolated NADP-dependent Ketoreductases Dimitris Kalaitzakis, a David J. Rozzell b, Spiros Kambourakis *b and Ioulia Smonou* a a Department of Chemistry, University of Crete, Iraklio 7149, Crete, Greece and b BioCatalytics Inc, 129 North ill Ave, Suite 13, Pasadena, CA 9116, USA Supporting Information Experimental Section General Considerations a-alkyl-1,3-diones 1-6 were prepared from commercially available 2,4-pentadione (acetylacetone) by alkylation with the proper alkyl halide. a-alkyl-β-keto esters 7, 8, were prepared from commercially available ethyl acetoacetate by alkylation with the proper alkyl halide. Racemic keto alcohols were prepared from pentan-2-one by aldol condensation with the corresponding aldehyde. Flash chromatography was carried out with 6 Å silica gel according to the procedure of Still (Still, W. C.; Kahn, M.; Mitra, A. J. rg. Chem. 1978, 14, 2923-2925.). The progress of the enzymatic reactions and the selectivities were determined by gas chromatography (P589II gas chromatograph equipped with an FID detector; column: 3m x.25mm x.25µm chiral capillary column, 2% permethylated cyclodextrin). MS were taken on a GC-MS (Simatzu GCMS-QP55 equipped with a S1

SPB-5 column and CI mass detector). 1 NMR and 13 C NMR spectra were recorded on a 3 Mz Bruker spectrometers in CDCl 3 solutions, by using Me 4 Si as internal standard. Chemical shifts are reported in ppm downfield from Me 4 Si. Yields refer to isolated and spectroscopically pure materials. Enzymatic Reductions Twenty different ketoreductases (KRED-11-12; BioCatalytics, Inc. Pasadena, CA USA) were screened to determine the best enzymes for the selective reduction of substrates 1-6. 3-methyl-2,4-pentanedione was used as the standard substrate. In addition to the ketoreductases, both NADP and glucose dehydrogenase (GLD) are products available from BioCatalytics. The screening was based in small-scale reactions (1 ml) where each substrate (25 mm) was mixed with NADP (2.5 mm, 2 mg), each ketoreductase (2 mg/ml), glucose (1 mm, 18 mg), glucose dehydrogenase (GLD, 2 mg/ml) for cofactor recycling, NaCl (1 mm, 6 mg) and sodium phosphate buffer (1 ml, 2 mm, p 6.9). The reactions were incubated at 37 ºC and reaction aliquots were taken every one hour and after extraction with ethyl acetate they were analyzed by GC chromatography. All the small-scale enzymatic reductions were accomplished according to the above screening reactions except for 3-methyl-2,4-pentanedione and 3-methyl-2,4-hexanedione which were reduced in p 6.5 and the reactions were completed in 24 hours. Larger-scale enzymatic reductions were prepared according to the following protocol. A phosphate-buffered solution (1 ml, p 6.9, 2 mm) containing 5 mm substrate, NaCl (2 mm), glucose (12 mm), NADP (.5 mm), glucose S2

dehydrogenase (5 mg) and the appropriate ketoreductase (5 mg) was stirred at 37 ºC for 24 hours, until GC analysis of crude extracts showed complete reaction. Periodically the p was readjusted to 6.9 with Na (2 M). Product was isolated by extracting the crude reaction mixture with EtAc (7 ml x 2). Sometimes centrifugation (6 rpm, 1 min) was required for the aqueous and the organic layers to separate as clear solutions. The combined organic layers were then extracted with saturated NaCl solution, dried over MgS 4 and evaporated to dryness. Pure, optically active alcohols were obtained in 9% to 91 % yield. The products were analyzed by NMR spectroscopy. Their optical purity was determined by chiral GC chromatography using 2% permethylated cyclodextrin column. According to this protocol diketone 1 (57 mg, 5 mm) was reduced with KRED12. Isolated yield 513 mg, 9%. 1 NMR: Ketoester 7 (72 mg, 5 mm) was reduced also with KRED12. Isolated yield 656 mg, 91%. Preparation of MPA-esters To a solution of the corresponding alcohol (.1 mmol) in dry C 2 Cl 2 were added 1.1 equiv. of DCC (.11 mmol) and 1.1 eqiv. f the corresponding (R) or (S) MPA (.11 mmol) and the reaction mixture was stirred at o C for 4-6 hr. After completion of the reaction the produced urea was filtered, the filtrate was evaporated and then chromatographed with 5/1 ex/etac and the produced corresponding MPA-ester was isolated. S3
