Transketolase variants catalyse a promiscuous acyloin condensation of aliphatic aldehydes leading in one step to unsymmetrical α-hydroxyketones while offering green advances compared previous enzymatic and chemical ways.
Abstract We described a strategy for the enzymatic synthesis of 1‐deoxy and 1,2‐deoxyketoses from aliphatic α‐ketoacids, pyruvate 2‐oxobutyrate, as donors natural aldoses variable chain length acceptors, catalyzed by thermostable transketolase variants Geobacillus stearothermophilus (TK gst ). Analytical studies have been carried out on panel TK with appropriate substrates allowing to select best combinations apply it preparative scale obtained good excellent isolated yields (61%–86%). To...
A sustainable, convenient, scalable, one‐step method for the two‐carbon chain elongation of cheap and biomass‐derived pentoses (l‐arabinose, 2‐deoxy‐d‐ribose) hexose l‐rhamnose was developed to produce Cn+2 deoxy ketoses (C‐7 C‐8) using transketolase, an enzyme catalyzing quasi‐irreversible transfer a ketol group from α‐keto acid aldehyde. Deoxygenated ‐ commonly obtained by chemical synthesis were afforded through suitable combination both nucleophile electrophile substrates in presence...
