The application of safe for humans and the environment Polyversum antifungal agent containing living cells of Pythium oligandrum for biotransformation of prochiral ketones
This report presents the whole-cell biotransformation of benzofuranyl-methyl ketone derivatives with the application of Polyversum antifungal agent containing Pythium oligandrum microorganism. Stereochemistry of the reduction of prochiral substrates was modified by the bioconversion conditions (concentration of reagents, a source of the carbon atom, biotransformation medium). In optimized conditions enantioselective process was noted. Secondary alcohols with excellent enantiomeric purity and high yields were obtained. The enantiomeric excess and conversion degree of 1-(benzofuran-2-yl)ethanol, 1-(7-ethylbenzofuran-2-yl)ethanol and 1-(3,7-dimethylbenzofuran-2-yl)ethanol were 99%/98.1%, 94%/94.4% and 99%/72.6%, respectively. In the presence of P. oligandrum, one of the enantiotopic hydrides of the dihydropyridine ring coenzyme is selectively transferred to a re side of the prochiral carbonyl group to give products with S configuration. This study demonstrates an inexpensive, eco-friendly approach in synthesis of optically pure benzofuran derivatives and can be an interesting alternative to organocatalysis. Furthermore, this method can be used in biotechnology processes due to its good chemical performance and a high degree of product isolation.
