Enantioselective reduction of acetyldimethylphenylsilane by Trigonopsis variabilis (DSM 70714)
(1987)
Growing and resting cells of the yeast Trigonapsis variabilis (DSM 70714) can be used for the enantioselective reduction of the organosilicon compound acetyldimethylphenylsilane (J) to give optically active (R)-(1-hydroxyethyl)dimethylphenylsilane [(R)-2] in good yields. The enantiomeric purity of the isolated product was determined tobe 62-86% ee depending on the substrate concentration used. Both substrate and product caused an inhibition of the reaction at concentrations higher than 0.35 and 0.5 g/1, respectively. Besides, higher substrate and product concentrations led to increased formation of the by-product 1,1,3,3-tetramethyl-1,3-diphenyldisiloxane. Considering the limiting substrate and product concentrations, it was possible to use the same biomass at least 5 times without significant loss of enzyme activity. 3-Methyl-3-phenyl-2-butanone (5) and acetyldimethylphenylgermane (7), which represent carbon and germanium analogues of 1, were also found to be accepted as substrates by Trigonapsis variabilis (DSM 70714). The reduction rates of the silicon {1) and germanium compound {7) were much higher than the transformation rate of the corresponding carbon analogue 5.
The crystal structures of the (R)-enantiomer (2b) and the racemate (1 b) of (cyclohexyl)phenyl[2- (pyrrolidin-1-yl)ethyl]silanol (sila--procyclidine) have been determined by X -ray structural analysis. The absolute configuration of (2b) was established. (2b) crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group P2\(_1\)2\(_1\)2\(_1\), with a = 15.221 (1 ), b = 17.967(1 ), c = 6.463(1) A, and Z = 4. (1 b) crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2\(_1\)/c, with a = 6.441 (1 ), b = 17.1 82(7), c = 16.707(4) A, ß = 1 03.86(2r, and Z = 4. The structures were refined to respective R factors of 0.044 and 0.058. The molecular conformation of sila-procyclidine is identical in the two different structures. lntermolecular 0-H • • • N hydrogen bonding is observed in both crystallattices.ln (1 b) (R)- and (S)-configurated molecules form centrosymmetric dimers, in (2b) the (R)-configurated molecules are linked into infinite chains parallel to the c axis. The (R)-configurated sila--procyclidine (2b) has higher affinity for ileal and atrial muscarinic receptors of the guinea pig than the (S)-configurated enantiomer (3b).
