ABSTRACT: We report the development of a modular, one-pot, sequential chemoenzymatic system for the formal enantioselective construction of the C-C bond in 2-aryl 1,4-dicarbonyl compounds. This sequence comprises a rhodium-catalyzed diazocoupling that provides >9:1 selectivity for heterocoupling of two diazoesters and a reduction mediated by an ene-reductase (ER), which occurs in up to 99% enantiomeric excess (ee). The high yield and enantioselectivity of this system result from the preferential generation of an (E)-alkene from the diazo coupling reaction and selective reduction of the (E)-alkene in a mixture of (E) and (Z) isomers by the ER. Screening of a panel of ERs revealed that OPR1 from Lycopersicum esculentum catalyzes the reduction of bulky tertbutyl or benzyl esters to afford chiral diesters that are poised for orthogonal reactions at the two distinct ester units of the product. Overall, this work demonstrates the benefit of combining organometallic and enzymatic catalysis to create unusual overall transformations that do not require the isolation and purification of intermediates.

The increasing demand for chiral building blocks, particularly those used for the preparation of biologically active compounds, has motivated the development of novel strategies for enantioselective synthesis. To this end, systems that catalyze enantioselective carbon-carbon bond formation have been studied intensively.1 Biocatalysts are increasingly employed to provide levels of chemo-, regio- and stereoselectivity that are challenging to achieve with a small-molecule catalyst, but applications of biocatalysts for carbon-carbon bond formation are limited.2 The combination of chemical and biological catalysts in one-pot could enable transformations that cannot be achieved by either of the two catalysts alone,2a, 3 and we considered that formal, enantioselective C-C bond formation could be achieved by combining a chemical catalyst that forms a C-C bond and an enzyme that can set a stereogenic center at one of the carbons of the new bond. Asymmetric 2-substituted succinic acid derivatives are versatile building blocks for the preparation of biologically active compounds,4 particularly natural products containing the γ-butyrolactone-unit.5 Rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of itaconic acid derivatives (Figure 1a) has been widely used to prepare enantiomerically enriched 2subsituted succinic acid derivatives, but these methods are not applicable to the synthesis of 2-aryl substituted succinic acid derivatives.6 Meanwhile, the synthesis of 2-aryl succinic acid derivatives via organocatalytic and transition metal-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of prochiral aryl-substituted fumar-

ic (E) and maleic (Z) acid derivatives remains challenging.7 Only recently did Pfaltz and coworkers report an enantioselective Ir-catalyzed hydrogenation of 2-aryl-substituted fumarates and maleates (Figure 1b).7a However, the hydrogenation reactions were limited to symmetric diesters and required high catalyst loadings and hydrogen pressure. Alternative methods to prepare enantioenriched 2-aryl succinic derivatives include Rh-catalyzed 1,4-additions of arylboronic acids to fumarate derivatives (Figure 1c),8 Cinchona alkaloid-catalyzed parallel kinetic resolution of monosubstituted succinic anhydrides (Figure 1d),9 or enantioselective Nheterocyclic carbene (NHC)-catalyzed β-protonation through the orchestration of three distinct organocatalysts: triazolium salt, thiourea (HDB), and DMAP (Figure 1e).10 However, each reaction has its limitations, such as requiring di-tert-butyl fumarates for high enantioseletivity, forming inseparable mixtures of constitutional isomers from fumarates bearing two different ester functional groups, having a maximum yield of 50%, and forming product with lower ee at higher conversion. Enzymatic C=C bond reduction was once coupled with olefin synthesis to prepare non-chiral products.11 Here we report a two-step, one-pot sequential chemoenzymatic transformation to prepare enantioenriched 2-aryl 1,4-dicarbonyl compounds with good yield and excellent enantioselectivity. This transformation combines a Rh(II)-catalyzed diazo coupling reaction with an enzymatic reduction into one-pot catalytic sequence

that occurs in greater efficiency than the two individual steps, while avoiding purification of the alkene intermediates (Figure 1). This process constitutes a novel chemoenzymatic carboncarbon bond formation with control of the absolute configuration of the new stereogenic center at one of the two carbons, while addressing limitations of the prior syntheses of 2-aryl succinic acid derivatives.

unsymmetrical 2-aryl-substituted, alkenes containing carbonyl groups at the 1 and 4 positions of the alkene. Davies and coworkers reported the [Rh2(OPiv)4]-catalyzed cross-coupling of diazo compounds to form 2-aryl-fumarate derivatives with high chemo- and stereoselectivity,1c and we tested reactions catalyzed by both [Rh2(OPiv)4] and the commercially available rhodium(II) octanoate dimer [Rh2(Oct)4]. As shown in Table 1, cross-coupling of aryldiazo compounds 1 with diazoacetate derivatives 2 affords predominantly the dicarbonyl compounds 3a and 3b with only trace amounts (10:1 stereoselectivity favoring (E)-ketone-ester, except entry 8). The reactions catalyzed by [Rh2(Oct)4] occur with yields, chemoselectivity and stereoselectivity that are similar to those of reactions catalyzed by [Rh2(OPiv)4]. With improved methods for preparation of diazo-compounds,12 Rh(II)-catalyzed carbenoid-induced cross-coupling of diazo compounds serves as an attractive convergent method for the synthesis of unsymmetrical alkenes. To achieve the proposed enantioselective chemoenzymatic formation of the C-C bond in 1,4-dicarbonyl compounds, an appropriate enzyme is needed to reduce the 2,3unsaturated 1,4-dicarbonyl compounds resulting from the diazo coupling. Ene-reductases (ERs) have been shown to be efficient, sustainable and cost-effective catalysts for reducing activated α,β-unsaturated ketones, aldehydes, nitroalkenes, carboxylic acids, and carboxylic acid derivatives,2a, 13 and a few enantioselective reductions of 2-substituted fumaric acid derivatives have been reported.13a, 14 However, our efforts were focused on the synthesis and reduction of fumarate derivatives containing two different carbonyl groups with orthogonal reactivity and, therefore, greater synthetic utility than symmetric fumarate derivatives.

To create a modular, enantioselective route to 2-arylfumarate derivatives, we first investigated the synthesis of Table 1. Synthesis of asymmetric 2-aryl-sbustitued dicarbonyl alkenes by Rh-catalyzed cross-coupling of diazo compounds

ERs containing flavin mononucleotides (FMN) require NADPH or NADH as co-factors to catalyze asymmetric reduction. In this study, glucose dehydrogenase (GDH) from Bacillus megaterium was used to recycle NADPH continuously by reduction of NADP+ with concomitant conversion of glucose to gluconic acid. We tested the reduction of the 2-aryl fumaric and maleic acid derivatives with a series of ERs originating from different organisms, including Old Yellow Enzymes OYE1, OYE2 and OYE3 from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, OYE4 from Achromobacter sp., 1, 2-oxophytodienoate reductases OPR1 and OPR3 from Lycopersicum esculentum, alkene reductase YersER from Yersinia bercovieri; thermophilic ‘ene’-reductase TOYE from Thermoanaerobacter pseudethanolicus, LacER from Lactobacillus casei, XenA and XenB from Pseudomonas putida, and NADPH dehydrogenase EBP1 from Candida albicans.

distinct esters that allow orthogonal reactivity at each terminus.10 None of the enzymes catalyzed the reduction of the substrate containing a bulky ester group and aryl group on the same alkene carbon (Entry 4). Compared to metal-catalyzed hydrogenation of dimethyl 2-phenylmaleates,7a the enzymatic reduction offers several advantages. The turnover numbers for the enzymatic reduction were seventy times higher than those obtained with current catalysts, and the process occurred with excellent enantioselectivity (>99%) at room temperature, in phosphate buffer under atmospheric pressure. Furthermore, YersER tolerates both water miscible organic solvents, such as DMSO and ethylene glycol, and immiscible organic solvents such as hexane and toluene.13b This tolerance toward organic solvents enhances the potential use of ERs for reactions of less water-soluble substrates.

Most of the ERs catalyzed the reduction of the E isomers (3a) of 2-aryl-substitued, 1,4-dicarbonyl alkenes generated from the cross-coupling reactions of the diazo compounds, but some of them resulted in products with poor ee (Table S1). None of the ERs we tested reduced the trace amount of Z isomers 3b (99%) (Entries 1&2) and the reduction of alkenes containing one ketone and one ester with good to excellent enantioselectivity (85%-99%) (Entry 5-8). OPR1 is the only enzyme we tested that reduced the unsaturated 1,4-dicarbonyl compounds containing bulky ester groups at the carbon β to the aryl group (Entries 2&3) to form enantioenriched 2-aryl succinate derivatives bearing two

Having identified an ER that reduces the substrates of the Rhcatalyzed coupling of diazocompounds, we sought to develop conditions to conduct the two reactions in one pot without purification of the intermediates. After conducting the diazo coupling reaction, we evaporated the DCM, added all reagents and the ER for the reduction step into the crude mixture. The one-pot process formed the enantioenriched succinate derivatives in >70% yield by completely converting the (E)-alkenes, the major product from cross-coupling reaction (Table 3), and leaving the (Z)-alkene unreacted. Similar yield and enantioselectivity were observed with purified samples of the alkene (Table 2), suggesting that the ERs are compatible with the Rhodium(II) catalyst and trace amounts of chemical impurities contained in the crude cross-coupling reaction.

hydroxybenzoic acid (PHB) bound to the active site. As shown in Figure 2A, the carbonyl oxygen of 4-ethyl 1-methyl 2phenylfumarate is hydrogen bonded to His-187 Nϵ2 and His190 Nδ1 with distances of 3.2 Å and 2.8 Å respectively. The distance between the N(5) of FMNH2 (transferring a hydride) and the carbon of the alkene that is β to the aryl group (βcarbon) of the substrate is 4.0 Å, and the distance between the Tyr 192 (a proton donor) and α-carbon of the substrate is 3.9 Å. The (Z)-alkene 4-ethyl 1-methyl 2-phenylmaleate binds to the same site of OPR1 (Figure 2B). However the distance between N(5) of FMNH2 and the β carbon is more than 5.0 Å. This distance would be too large for the reaction to occur. In addition, the more hindered 4-(tert-butyl) 1-methyl 2phenylfumarate did not dock into most of the ERs (data are not shown), but it did dock into OPR1. As shown in Figure 2C, the distance between the N(5) of FMNH2 and the β-carbon of 4-(tert-butyl) 1-methyl 2-phenylfumarate, and the distance between Tyr 192 and α-carbon of 4-(tert-butyl) 1-methyl 2phenylfumarate are both 4.0 Å. These distances are comparable to those between the proton and hydride donors of OPR1 to 4-ethyl 1-methyl 2-phenylfumarate. A pocket formed by Tyr-78, Lys-79 and Tyr-358 at the entrance of active site accommodates the phenyl ring, while the relatively open active site entrance may tolerate the bulky tert-butyl group (Figure 2D). In summary, we have developed a one-pot, sequential catalytic system for the synthesis of 2-aryl-succinate derivatives by formal asymmetric C-C bond formation created by integrating a transition-metal catalyst with an enzyme, whereby a Rh-catalyzed cross-coupling of carbene units is followed by an ER-catalyzed enantioselective reduction of (E)-2-arylsubstituted dicarbonyl alkenes among a mixture of the E and Z isomers. With this system, 2-aryl-substituted succinate derivatives are generated from two different diazaoesters or ketones and reducing equivalents in high yield and excellent ee without purification of the alkene intermediates or separation of E and Z isomers. Evaluation of a panel of ERs as catalyst led to the identification of OPR1, which reacts with substrates containing bulky tert-butyl esters and produces enantioenriched, chiral unsymmetrical diesters that have great potential as synthetic intermediates.
