The thiamin diphosphate- and Mg2+-dependent enzyme benzoylformate decarboxylase (BFD) from Pseudomonas putida was characterized with respect to its suitability to catalyze the formation of chiral 2-hydroxy ketones in a benzoin-condensation type reaction. Carboligation constitutes a side reaction of BFD, whereas the predominant physiological task of the enzyme is the non-oxidative decarboxylation of benzoylformate. For this purpose the enzyme was obtained in sufficient purity from Pseudomonas putida cells in a one-step purification using anion-exchange chromatography. To facilitate the access to pure BFD for kinetical studies, stability investigations, and synthetical applications, the coding gene was cloned into a vector allowing the expression of a hexahistidine fusion protein. The recombinant enzyme shows distinct activity maxima for the decarboxylation and the carboligation beside a pronounced stability in a broad pH and temperature range. The enzyme accepts a wide range of donor aldehyde substrates which are ligated to acetaldehyde as an acceptor in mostly high optical purities. The enantioselectivity of the carboligation was found to be a function of the reaction temperature, the substitution pattern of the donor aldehyde and, most significantly, of the concentration of the donor aldehyde substrate, Our data are consistent with a mechanistical model based on the X-ray crystallographic data of BFD, Furthermore we present a simple way to increase the enantiomeric excess of (S)-2-hydroxy-1-phenyl-propanone from 90% to 95% by skillful choice of the reaction parameters. Enzymatic synthesis with BFD are performed best in a continuously operated enzyme membrane reactor. Thus, we have established a new enzyme tool comprising a vast applicability for stereoselective synthesis.

Benzaldehyde Lyase-Catalyzed Direct Amidation of Aldehydes with Nitroso Compounds Ayhan, Peruze; Demir, Ayhan Sıtkı (Wiley, 2011-03-07) Benzaldehyde lyase from the Pseudomonas fluorescens catalyzes the reaction of aromatic aldehydes with nitroso compounds and furnishes N-arylhydroxamic acids in high yields. Aromatic aldehydes and benzoins are converted into enamine-carbanion-like intermediates prior to their reaction with nitroso compounds. The kinetic resolution of rac-2-hydroxy-1,2-diphenylethanones furnished (S)-benzoins and arylhydroxamic acids with high enantioselectivities and conversions.
Benzaldehyde lyase-catalyzed enantioselective carboligation of aromatic aldehydes with mono- and dimethoxy acetaldehyde Demir, Ayhan Sıtkı; Sesenoglu, O; Dunkelmann, P; Muller, M (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2003-06-12) Benzaldehyde lyase from the Pseudomonas fluorescens catalyzes the reaction of aromatic aldehydes with methoxy and dimethoxy acetaldehyde and furnishes (R)-2-hydroxy-3-methoxy-1-arylpropan-1-one and (R)-2-hydroxy-3,3-dimethoxy-1-arylpropan-1-one in high yields and enantiomeric excess via acyloin linkage. Aromatic aldehydes and benzoins are converted into enamine-carbanion-like intermediates prior to carboligation.
Solid-phase enzyme modification via affinity chromatography Baran, ET; Ozer, N; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat (2003-09-05) In the present study antileukemic enzyme L-asparaginase (ASNase) and catalase (as a model enzyme) were modified in solid-phase with activated polyethylene glycol (PEG,) by using ligand-immobilized affinity column systems L-asparagine-Sepharose CL-4B and Procion red-Sepharose CL-4B, respectively. Studies on change of specific activity with modification time showed negligible differences between batches of modified catalase. Modification of ASNase for I It resulted in 50.2% recovery of the specific activity a...
Amination/annulation of chlorobutenones with chiral amine compounds: synthesis of 1,2,4-trisubstituted pyrroles Demir, Ayhan Sıtkı; Igdir, AC; Gunay, NB (Elsevier BV, 2005-10-03) A series of 1,2,4-trisubstituted pyrroles have been synthesized in 83-96% yields on treatment of chiral primary amines, amino alcohols and esters of alpha-amino acids with different chlorobutenones in benzene-triethylamine. The conversions proceed without racemization.
Enantioselective synthesis of hydroxy ketones through cleavage and formation of acyloin linkage. Enzymatic kinetic resolution via C-C bond cleavage Demir, Ayhan Sıtkı; Pohl, M; Janzen, E; Muller, M (2001-01-01) Both enantiomers of benzoins and (R)-2-hydroxy-1-phenylpropanone analogues were obtained in high yield on a preparative scale starting from aromatic aldehydes, rac-benzoins and aliphatic aldehydes via enzyme-catalysed C-C bond cleavage and C-C bond formation reactions.
