Abstract
The first application of Deep Eutectic Solvents (DESs) in asymmetric bioamination of ketones has been accomplished. The amine transaminases (ATAs) turned out to be particularly stable in DES-buffer mixtures at a percentage of up to 75% (w/w) neoteric solvent. Moreover, this reaction medium was used to perform a chemoenzymatic cascade toward biaryl amines by coupling a Suzuki reaction sequentially with an enantioselective bioamination catalyzed by the recently discovered ATA from Exophiala xenobiotica (EX-ωTA). The solubilizing properties of DESs enabled the metal-catalyzed step at 200 mM loading of substrate and the subsequent biotransformation at 25 mM.
