Because the synthesis of chiral compounds generally requires a broad range of substrate specificity and stable enzymes, screening for better enzymes and/or improvement of enzyme properties through molecular approaches is necessary for sustainable industri

In this work, pyridyl-appended Co3+ complexes (1 and 2) have been postfunctionalized by using 4-(bromomethyl)benzoic acid, thus changing the functionalities from pyridyl-N donors to carboxylate-O donors. Using two such postfunctionalized metalloligands (3 and 4), several homo and heterometallic coordination polymers (HCPs) have been synthesized. Single crystal structural analyses revealed that all HCPs presented intriguing one-dimensional catenated architectures. Postsynthetic modification induced flexibility was found to be responsible for the nearly identical architectures for two sets of HCPs starting from two different postfunctionalized metalloligands, 3 and 4. Two sets of HCPs differed by the presence (3a-3d) or absence (4a-4b) of labile coordinated water molecules that demonstrated a profound effect on the heterogeneous catalysis of Knoevenagel condensation reactions and cyanation reactions.

Biocatalysts originating from Badamu (Prunus communis) have been applied to catalyze the asymmetric synthesis of (R)-4-methylsulfanylmandelonitrile, a key building block of thiamphenicol and florfenicol. Here, four hydroxynitrile lyase (HNL) isozymes from Badamu were cloned and heterologously expressed in Pichia pastoris. The biochemical properties and catalytic performances of these isozymes were comprehensively explored to evaluate their efficiency and selectivity in asymmetric synthesis. Among then, PcHNL5 was identified with outstanding activity and enantioselectivity in asymmetric hydrocyanation. Under the optimized mild biphasic reaction conditions, seventeen prochiral aromatic aldehydes were converted to valuable chiral cyanohydrins with good yields (up to 94%) and excellent optical purities (up to >99.9% ee), which provide a facile access to numerous chiral amino alcohols, hypoglycemic agents, angiotension converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and β-blockers. This work therefore underlines the importance of discovering the most potent biocatalyst among a group of isozymes for converting unnatural substrates into value-added products. (Figure presented.).
