Halohydrin dehalogenase-catalysed synthesis of fluorinated aromatic chiral building blocks

Irena Dokli et al.

Summary: The kinetic resolution of a series of fluorinated styrene oxide derivatives using halohydrin dehalogenase was studied. A mutant HheC-W249P showed excellent enantioselectivity in catalyzing nucleophilic ring-opening reactions with azide and cyanide ions, yielding various enantiopure beta-substituted alcohols and epoxides. The enzyme demonstrated tolerance to substrates at concentrations over 50 mM, but different side reactions were observed at elevated concentrations and prolonged reaction times. Bio-catalytic azidolysis and cyanolysis of racemic 4-trifluoromethylstyrene oxide on a preparative scale resulted in the production of specific enantiomers with high yields and enantiomeric excesses.
