研究了1-丁基-3-甲基咪唑六氟磷酸盐[BMIM]PF6/缓冲液两相体系中,热带假丝酵母104细胞催化3,5-双三氟甲基苯乙酮不对称还原制备(S)-1-[3,5-双(三氟甲基)苯基]乙醇的反应过程。通过考察影响生物还原反应的主要因素,如离子液体浓度、辅助底物种类和浓度、底物浓度、菌体浓度和转化时间等,发现上述因素对产率影响较大,但基本不影响产物手性醇的光学纯度。优化得到的较佳还原反应条件为:[BMIM]PF6体积分数5%,辅助底物为60 g L 1异丙醇,底物3,5-双三氟甲基苯乙酮浓度70 mmol L 1,菌体浓度350 g L 1,转化时间24 h。在优化条件下,产率达82.5%,产物(S)-1-[3,5-双(三氟甲基)苯基]乙醇的对映体过量值大于99.9%。与水相转化相比,采用[BMIM]PF6/缓冲液两相体系进行3,5-双三氟甲基苯乙酮的生物不对称还原可有效提高底物浓度和产率,且反应时间缩短了6 h。
(S)-3,5-bistrifluoromethylphenyl ethanol is a key chiral intermediate for the synthesis of NK-1 receptor antagonists. Enantioselective synthesis of (S)-3,5-bistrifluoromethylphenyl ethanol was successfully performed in high enantiomeric excess (e.e.) through asymmetric reduction of 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl) acetophenone catalyzed by Candida tropicalis 104 cells. The influence of some key reaction parameters such as substrate concentration, co-substrate and its concentration, biomass and reaction time was examined, respectively. The results showed that these factors obviously influence the yield, but the optical purity of the prepared product remains intact. The opti-mum conditions for the preparation of (S)-3,5-bistrifluoromethylphenyl ethanol were found to be as follows: sub-strate concentration 50 mmol?L?1; 50 g·L-1 of maltose as co-substrate; wet cell concentration 300 g·L-1; reaction for 30 h. Under above optimal conditions, the maximum yield for (S)-3,5-bistrifluoromethylphenyl ethanol reached 70.3% with 100% of product e.e.
